Fixed. Just for you, Brain In Jar. I know little things like this mean a lot to you. I can see how you might not get out much, but such is the lot of ... Brain In Jar. Not much work since Futurama was cancelled, eh?

Picture me standing up giving you a standing ovation!
I've said much the same for years -- ALL drugs should be legalized, so the total f'ing imbeciles can get on with killing themselves and clearing off the planet for the rest of us! It's just more Big Nanny, and I've thought for years that Big Nanny is subverting the natural selection process, by protecting all these C.R.E.T.I.N.S from their own stupidity -- or at least, trying really hard to do that, and annoying the hell out of those of us who just want to clear up our stuffy noses!

Natural selection should be allowed again. Take the warning labels off everything and the problem will sort itself out

O.L. you do make me laugh, but dammit, I'm gettin' tired of wiping coffee off my screen....

That show had a Lot of Potential. Great Cast of Characters. But it Got Old Fast watching Fry try to do the Horizontal Bop but Leela never letting him.
That's another Pet Peeve of Mine: One Eyed Female Cartoon Characters who Don't Put Out Once and Awhile.
Agreed. People seem to view mine quite frequently for some reason. I'm not sure why? I can't be that interesting. Lol. But, whatever.
My peeve? People who give their opinion, usually negative, about something in which they have no first hand knowledge.
Example? A Provari is no good cause its too expensive. (yet has never seen nor held one)
This (brand) is the same as (brand) but less expensive. (having never tried both)
vaping might lead to smoking tobacco. (although they know of no one who ever did)
Also peeves me when someone has the first little thing happen, like 3 blinks of a light after taking it off the charger for the first time, and starts a new thread without checking the 271 other threads about the exact same phenom (which is normal).

No screaming eagle excreta! Like we really need to read "Contents is HOT!" It's freaking COFFEE, if it's NOT hot, I want my freaking money back!
Oh, I just thought of another MAJOR pet peeve of my own: using "impact" as a verb -- it's a NOUN!!! The Weather Channel started it, and now EVERYBODY says it, and it's driving me right around the bend. My ex-husband, the computer programmer, has the exact same peeve with the word "input." It's also a noun, not a verb -- you do not input data, you enter data, and that which you entered is your INPUT.
They are just butchering the English language!

The term analog to describe a traditional cigarette.
The term e-cigarette. I get the need for the term from a marketing perspective but I can't help think that if it had been called a PV from the start half the ANTZ wouldn't be trying to kill it.
As just a general Pet Peeve - 20 somethings using the phrase "back in the day", I have to ask them, exactly when was that for you, last week?

I had a thought, just a minute or two ago... now where did I put it... Oh yeah...
Lots of folks seem to object to "analogs", and also to "stinkies." So... how about.. 'stinkarettes' ???
My
... don't spend it all in one place... I'm iced-in and bored, so my mind does weird things...

This has nothing to do with vaping. But a pet peeves is ...... who create a facebook page for their dog or baby. You know the ones. That post about 50 pics a day of a kid/dog and they all look exactly the same.
A personal pet peeve (just cause it happened twice today already) is random strangers asking me if my eyes are real (they mean the color but I pretend I don't know that)? Well, ...? I say "nope, my seeing eye dog is just invisible". Then they want to argue. "Naah, they're colored contacts right?" NOOOOO!!!!!! Do your ears work? Apparently not.
Whew, I feel better now, lol.
Exited to say: I have no idea why I posted that pet peeve. Lol. Sorry.

I call it "phone-freeze", when someone walking ahead of me in a narrow hallway stops dead in their tracks and blocks my way. Is that text really so fascinating or life-changing ? Or is it just another selfie from an equally obtuse idiot ?
I'm a big old guy with thick glasses. Now I just run them down and claim its a senior thing ...

Has anyone mentioned "Devil's Advocate" yet? You know, "Let me just play devil's advocate for a minute. This happens on forum, and it happens in business meetings all the time. No, you're not playing devil's advocate. You're taking my bright, shiny, new idea and crushing it beneath your overgrown jack boots.
If you want to disagree, just disagree. Please don't try to sound like you're being helpful.

Oooooooooooh, you nailed it -- they also do that when they walk into stores -- enter the doors, walk 5-10 ft, and just stop dead... I swear, next time I'm running 'em down with the cart!

I once asked a lady almost the exact same question, except we weren't complete strangers and I did specify color. She's got the clearest, most pure cornflower blue eyes I've ever seen. She took it pretty well.
