You know what pisses me off?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Poll question: You know what pisses me off?

Do you?

[SOteric]

1. I'm willing to bet George W. Bush is on your top ten list.

:7

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I can neither confirm nor deny that....

BUT YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!

[BritishHuman]

3. Despite your ambivalence...

I'm going to go with SOteric.

[ForrestGump]

4. Do you mean that SOteric's right or that

SOteric's what annoys him so much?

'cos it could be a close call, you know........

[SOteric]

8. Maybe

he means, "wherever SOteric is going, I'm going too."

Oh, and BTW:

[ForrestGump]

9. But

if he listens to your travel advice he'll pile it on over the Yukon. That's not good......

Oh, and....

[SOteric]

11. Not

if he travels the 4700 miles he noted in his original post (which would put him pretty much in Seattle) and not the 3000 miles you seem to insist upon.

[ForrestGump]

12. Yes, but (he says, all-knowingly, with that world-weary

look in his eyes that says "chicks.....they're so naive and innocent") the poll that Mr Human responded to had as its maximum choice 3000 miles. That was, undoubtedly, a rampant case of ethnocentrism that did not recognize that some DU-ers might come from unAmerican countries, but - nevertheless - the bound of 3000 miles was offered and it was reluctantly accepted by Mr Human....a contract was forged.

And there I am, doing my best to save his life by using nautical miles, and you go and insist that he be marooned in the Northwest Territories, fighting off polar mints bears for access to the precious, life-giving sustenance of lichen (and I think that most would agree that even British food's tastier than that stuff). What a meaniepanties you are!

I rest my stunningly well-argued case, certain of the glorious victory that is rightfully mine....

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Well, can't argue with that logic

Don't know what the hell you're talking about, but whatever it is, sure seems like you're right. :-)

(poll with Mr Human and travelling thousands of miles?)

[ForrestGump]

16. You had to be there!

As long as you were within 3000 miles of your destination..... :-)

(and, no, 'Mr Human' is not what I call my 'personal area')

[SOteric]

22. No such luck Mr. ShysterPants

The contract was unsigned by either party and as such is not binding in any courts of the jurisdiction administered by the U.S. U.K., the Mid-Atlantic, the Yukon or even Washington state.

Moreover, as the alleged contractee expressed an initial desire for a number of miles gauged 'as the crow flies' in excess of the 3000 mentioned, any and all additional mileage must be provided, without the necessity of swimming and/or sharing quarters with native Yukon moose, before my client, on Mr. Human, will be offering signature on your finalised contract.

[ForrestGump]

23. Oh, poop

There you go again, unfairly employing such underhanded tactics as reason and (*shudder*) logic. Typical. Just typical.

I feel as if I should make a last stand but, alas, there is only one way in which I might fight back at this point.....

[SOteric]

25. Conflatulations.

[ForrestGump]

26. Thanks....it's been a gas

Mmmmm.....ammo.....

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. were;nt burritos banned by the Geneva Convention?

Oh, wait, the US doesn't abide by any treaty anymore, anyway, unless it profits Black and Root or Carlysle or haliburton, so i guess any kind of weapon is okay, as long as it isn't wielded by anyone who isn't "against us".

Gas away!

[SOteric]

29. Don't tell Dubya

or he'll mysteriously find a palette or two in an underground bunquer in Iraq.

[ForrestGump]

32. Yeah, but with "Product of Terlingua, Texas" stencilled on the sides

Boy howdy....

[SOteric]

34. At least he couldn't blame it on the Brits

And Colin Powell could always claim the George-in-Shortpants has mistaken the source info on his intelligence in reading the phrase "Colon Powered."

[ForrestGump]

36. That's true. Though a pastie, dropped from the right altitude,

could do considerable damage.

I guess that explains why they have both the massive, Colon warhead and the smaller, tactical Semi-Colon delivery systems in place. Let's just hope that they never have to deploy the garbonzos (sorry, my mind's been so breast-fixated lately....you must have given me a complex) lima bean weapon of mass eruption.

[ForrestGump]

30. Black beans, man

Forget that amateur-league yellow cake.....

[SOteric]

28. ammat, ammas

what fumes come from your...

[ForrestGump]

31. ......bottle of vinegar?

Clears the sinuses, at least.

[SOteric]

33. I don't think I know any

old Latin jingles about vinegar. What else have ya got?

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. a poem

That which we call in Latin, vinegarus,
odiferates the room when it comes from yer-ass.

[ForrestGump]

38. That's deeply touching

It affected me far, far inside.....

Thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. Thank you!

It was an inspired moment. :-)

[ForrestGump]

37. La Bamba?

Guantanamera?

Viva Las Vegas?

[BritishHuman]

42. If he insists on a US court

I'll just change my name to BritishHuman Incorporated.

Take advantage of some of Shrub's Affirmative Action for Persons of Corporateness.

[qandnotq]

5. I bet it's all the silly polls in DU2

[mlrn23]

6. what dont piss you off

i bet its not welfare,income redistribution, taking money away from people that actually work for it.

[ForrestGump]

10. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me to find that he's not particularly happy

about Bush's nudge-nudge corporate welfare, redistributing everyone's income (including the GDP of Iraq) to line his and his buddies' pockets, and taking money away from both those who are aghast at the coup of 2000 and those morans who stupidly support the régime even though Bush and Company don't give a flying Ashcroft about them.

So, yes, I think you're absolutely Right.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Darn right!

I can't beliebe how much this thread picked up all in one shot...I thought it had died...

But yes, corproate welfare pisses me off, Shrub's illegal nudge nudge to corporations and his evil cabal, illegal wars, AWOL...well, I'm getting all focused on the pretender to the throne again...

So, l;et's see- stealing money from the middle class and poor to give a tax cut to the rich sothe economy can continue to tank...

Uh, morans always piss me off..

freepers, trolls, rude people, idiots, and morans again.

Uh, let's see ---- people who use my relgion as an excuse to kill people, to hate, and murder abortion doctors and criminals in the name of "sanctity of life".

Oh yeah, and trolls and morans. did I mention those? Just in case you (not you, Forrest, but MRLM or whatever the person you respond to is), missed it, uh, one thing that pisses me off is freepers and trolls and morans, republicans, and people who, though they are being totally screwed by this cabal, continue to think that Shrub is the world's greatest leader of all time, and perhaps even God's Chosen One. :-) :spank:

[ForrestGump]

17. You don't like freepers, trolls, and morans?

If I see any, I'll let them know.

How about gypsies, tramps, and thieves?

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. gypsies, tramps, and thieves I don't mind

as long as they aren't the thieves in charge of the gov. right now.

It's freepers, trolls, and morans I don't want. :-)

[nuxvomica]

7. And also, people chewing with their mouths open?

Am I right?

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. ON THE NOSE!

hate that.

Especially when they're on the phone. Especially especially when they're on the phone with me. Super especially when they're type-A asswipes who not only talk with their mouths full, but chew really fast, and keep feeding food into their mouths, in order to, I guess, impress people with how impoertant they must be because they have to eat in a hurry, even when they're in a restaurant. And the type-A asswipes who chew little bits of gum really, really fast. And the type-A asswipes who take a handful of peanuts/cashews/whatever, and instead of putting them one by one in the mouths, they take the handful, tilt their head back, and rifle their hand up really fast and shoot one out into their mouth, chew it very quickly, then repeat the process for the next one. These asswipes are usually in polo shirts and khakis with brown belts, or else shorts and dockers or yuppie sandals; and likely have their cell phone attached to their belt, and not in their pocket. More than likely, they use a money clip, have short hair, wear a gold watch, and never use anything but oppresively declarative sentences.

[DS1]

19. When you're standing in line at a cash register

and some dumbass thinks the person manning the register can put everything on hold and take care of other customers while they "run out to their car and get money".

[RushIsRot]

20. No, but I'll bet diuretics play a major role in the process.

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. ha ha! i have to admit,

took me about a minute or two of thinking about something else before I realized what your post meant!

Diuretics? thought I.... for a long while... hey, coffee is a diuretic! I . . . Oh, I get it! Piss me off! Coffee makes me pee!

Excellently clever! made my day with that joke!

[Maddy McCall]

21. I bet I know too....

anti-religion threads? Seem to have been an abundance of those here at DU lately.

[opihimoimoi]

40. ITS GATTA BE WASTE

The Pubs are a waste of time and effort

so is the Shrub

and war

and tax cuts for the rich, etc,

and the waste of opportunities for Humanity due to wasteful projects, activities.

Come, we go find Hakata Ramen

[Rabrrrrrr]

41. Good way to put it, bra

One of my big things is good stewardship, and that means reducing waste.

When I'm president, I'll make it illegal to be republican, FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS. Gads, I love that idea. The delcious irony of it all!

Come, we put spam in ramen, dip manapua in it, too.

[opihimoimoi]

But what the hell, if you wanna dip, go for it, LOL

[Rabrrrrrr]

Okay, I no double dip. Still nui ono, even one dip.
