    Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

    I use social networking for my musical endeavors; i.e., marketing. However, it is presently limited to Twitter and YouTube. My goal is to have my own website in the near future for the same thing - marketing my music, to get recognition in the biz. My musical dreams haven't died. As far...

    Wow. You have opened my eyes even further into something I've already noticed in the gaming industry, all the way back to the days of Brooke Burke (Chauvet). It does seem to be male-dominated entertainment, for the most part... but, even in games like "The Sims", women can be reduced to the...

    Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

    My wife-to-be is addicted to Pogo; a site that is famous for being malware/spyware Central, not to mention hacking/cracking for personal information. I've managed to get the site to work with Chrome set to 'Do Not Track', and 'whitelisting' the site with Ghostery. The tracking cookies have...

    Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

    Some people have streets named after them: "One Way"; they have it (the idea of a repair, done the way they want) envisioned in their minds, with no other way to get it done, and they cannot be flexible. I know how you feel, as you're the professional. It's almost like they're assessing your...

    'Special' Sauce could be anything added to your meal from a disgruntled food server. :vroam: I got caught up in some TV, but that's something that Mickey D's featured when they came up with the Big Mac, back around '69 or so. Nothing more than Thousand Island salad dressing. I once :puke: a...

    That really is... nasty. Food servers picking at the seat of their pants, then wiping their runny noses... kind of like ordering a hot dog with chili and relish on it. Hell, let's throw in some "floor spice"... LW Sent from my @#*

    Happy Halloween to you, too, nalbano43... welcome to the forum where rants are king, and discussing someone's mucus ingestion are welcome. Bleah! I agree that the sniff people can be nasty... LW Sent from my @#*

    Happy Halloween, Ghostly One... just remember that even with the greatest computer systems and software - there will be the HR idiot human making the entries... sorry it turned out that way for you. LW Sent from my @#*

    zuben, my better half (originally from CO) swears by Santiago's breakfast burritos... have you ever been to that restaurant, or, Chubby's? She said that they can't be beat... I've never been to these, but the Omelette Parlor sounds great. LW Sent from my @#*

    You actually like the food at the "Awful Waffle"? They're ubiquitous throughout the South... steaks that are so thin, you can see light shine through them. Biscuits and gravy - and the sausage gravy is canned, and heated in a microwave. Oh no, huh... not you, hon. I'm from Mass, and my...

    Good for you. The acid that came out in the '80s (blotter acid) was cut with strychnine... then, not long after, the "designer drugs" arrived... ecstasy, et al... but, the worst ones were crack cocaine, and what was known back then as "Crystal" (meth)... I had a bad experience with regular...

    Good afternoon, fellow rantmeisters... my wife-to-be is playing Texas Hold 'Em on Pogo (!), and I'm posting here. I've been thinking about sfbb's last post about dragons flying... hmmm... LSD in the form of Windowpane, 1978... I didn't see any flying dragons, but, I witnessed enough weirdness...

    So, here I am... posting on the 'puter this time. I voted early today, to get that done. I know that we're not supposed to get political in this forum, but, I'm surprised at the voting law changes in the State of North Carolina. By 2016, voters must carry a state ID. I showed up today with...

    bjacks12, I'm a firm believer in accountability and responsibility for one's actions; but, the death penalty for thieves? Seriously? That sounds (reads) reminiscent of the film "The Purge - Anarchy"... some people come from lower-income backgrounds, who see the possessions that are advertised...

    My experience with LG has not been a good one; yes, we bought their least-expensive 4G dual-core phone; but, my past experience with HTC was excellent, between the EVO 4G & the 3VO. HTC has a good product - in many ways, better than Samsung, in my opinion. Since last year, HTC has been going...

    It's okay. You're only human, and that explanation should suffice. Just worry about things that are REALLY important - at least HR came to the rescue. Be well, Ghostly One... All Hallows Eve is soon to be upon us - LW Sent from my @#*

    Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

    When I continued on this subject, I didn't mean to create paranoia. However, in sites like Pogo, a Java prompt will pop up from time to time, that has no earthly business being there. It's a cracker, like "cdriveinfiveminutes.com'... these people are out there, and on that level, it becomes...
