Current Annoyances

[Space Tycoon]

That is like the textbook definition of FUBAR.

No cigarettes for 4.5 months and today cravings hit really bad out of nowhere.

No cigarettes for 4.5 months and today cravings hit really bad out of nowhere.

Quit almost 20 years ago. I eat lobster and boy oh boy. I get crakin' for a smoke like batshit. And I hate those guys who can go out drinking and have a puff of a cigar and NOT get hooked. Those guys suck.

[Dalty]

I nearly caved last night while really drunk watching the football.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Why would caving matter if you were that drunk? How would you go out to get the cigarettes? Does your girlfriend smoke? Were you around people who would have given you some? Is there a cigarette machine within stumbling distance? Do you still have some around the house? If you still have some around the house, can you really say you've quit?

[Dalty]

I was watching the footie in a bar with a convenience store across the street and among colleagues who had smokes on them.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

"Footie" sounds like a word meant to describe a foot fetishist whose foot fetishism has taken a particularly snobby turn.

Gridiron......

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

"Gridiron" sounds like a grid made of iron. This is also one of the things it is. These actual iron grids can be used for cooking or torture.

"Gridiron" is also not typically used by itself to describe the actual game of North American football. It's typically used as an adjective. When it's used as a noun in the context of North American football, it's used to describe the field the game is played on. That's my understanding, at least. The weirdos in Wisconsin and Minnesota may use the word differently, but I don't think they do. It may be used by Brits and Australians to mean North American football, but I don't know of any actual North Americans who use it this way. Do Canadians use it this way? They're North Americans. I don't think they do, but who knows? If only we had a couple Canadians on hand!

Whatever the case, I suspect you may be trying to make fun of us for using a nickname we don't even use. I think you may be making fun of a nickname your country gave our sport. If this is the case, you're making fun of a nickname of your country's own creation. If this is the case, you and I are essentially doing the same thing.

[Adam54]

I cannot speak for Wisconsin, but in Minnesota we only use "gridiron" to describe the field the game is played on, and use it incredibly rarely at best.

[Adam54]

Also, to be clear, I will never in my life attempt or have any desire to speak for the weirdos in Wisconsin.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

You're better off that way, I think.

I made some changes in the middle of your posting. You may want to reread what I wrote to make sure my changes didn't screw with your post's intentions.

[Adam54]

Can you summarize them in a memo for me?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I can, but I won't.

[Adam54]

Canada! You added stuff about Canada!

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Ha ha! Made you look!

I also just added this:

"Whatever the case, I suspect you may be trying to make fun of us for using a nickname we don't even use. I think you may be making fun of a nickname your country gave our sport. If this is the case, you're making fun of a nickname of your country's own creation. If this is the case, you and I are essentially doing the same thing."

[Scotia]

I refuse to support Canadian football. Unless we get a team east of Montreal my opinion will not change.

Go Broncos!

Real Estate Agents and Building contractors. I am trying to buy a new house. Who knew it was so hard to spend £400k ?? It's like they don't want the money. Slimy and lying bastards who need to be slapped.

[Dalty]

Wanting to see Conjuring 2 but being genuinely too pussy to watch it.

[Mango]

It's really good. One bit disturbed me pretty good, and I don't shake up to easy.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

It killed a man.

[Dalty]

More frightening than the first viewing of The Exorcist?

[Dalty]

Fucking Netflix. Putting my subs up from £4.99 a month for 5 devices to £7.49 a month for 2 devices.

I only really religiously watch Daredevil on this. Maybe it's time to bin Netflix?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

You'll regret binning it the second the next big event show drops.

[Dalty]

Could I then pick it up again, binge watch, then bin it again?
