Just when I thought I was in a good mood

from JoeUser Forums
Someone has to go and bring me down...well I may very well need to figure out this custom audience thing pretty soon as I made the mistake of telling a number of different people about my blog....which I'm sure they religiously read (said in sarcastic tone), but seriously there's a lot of people getting on my nerves lately. As I coasted into work in the crappy hazy chilly weather listening to mariah carrey sing heartbreaker (as I sang along) I was in a good slap-happy mood despite what has transpired over the last few days.

I would like to point the finger at one person, but in reality very little has been satisfying lately except for the near-death bike ride I took yesterday through Minneapolis. You gotta know something though people, the weather here is a good indicator of the emotional forcast. We've gone at least 4 days without sunshine and it's starting to get to people. Really petty stuff at work, the kids are crabby, and traffic conjestion is making me and everyone else really inconsiderate.

Thank God I'm taking tomorrow off to spend some goofy time in chicago with some friends where I can spend a handful of money that I don't have. It should be good for me though...I really do need a retreat away from the monotony....expensive or not. I'd torture you with the details of why I'm crabby now despite the good mood that brought me to work this morning but like I said who knows who is going to read this and get all snooty. This way everyone who does read it can think it's probably them, and they're probably right, because it is just about everyone. Hopefully the sun will kiss everyone's faces this weekend and we can all come back fresh and clean and remember that our lives aren't half as bad as we'd like everyone to think they are.

You have gone 4 days without sunshine?

Listen here, Petey! SuspeckTed and I come from a little place called Minnesota, where we don't neccesarily go withouth sun for 4 months, but where I'm from the temp didn't raise above 0 F for 3 months, even when the "sun" did rise.

Tedsky, I admit that it's my fault that the sun hasn't come out for 4 days. It came out, and I yelled at it cause I couldn't see when I was driving, so I think I scared it. So even if this isn't all my fault, it still is.
Peace,
Chris

Sir Peter's opinions mean about "as much to me as a festering bowl of dog snot." God I love the movie UHF...such excellent quotes. Really though, weather is all relative. When I was in New Orleans an entire without rain was incredibly rare...and Alaska they go forever without sun, and then have light forever.

PS - Englishmen look better in low light anyway...takes the attention away from their inbred features.

So you're the culprit! Even here in MI the sun is tentative as a hummingbird... gosh what did you say to it?

Englishmen inbred? - That's funny because in England we assume most American men are inbred especially those from backward places such as Minnesota
Reply #6 from JoeUser Forums Top
Well, I suppose I must admit that Minnesota is pretty backwards to the rest of the US. Clean air, low crime, pro wrestler former governors.

PS - unfortunately I have seen little breeding...inbreeding or otherwise.

Well I do, that's why I don't like Southern people.....and when say "southern" I mean Iowa.

I know what you mean about the weather...I'm in SD (as you know) and everyone gets petty and pissy when the sun don't show her face for a few days..or when it snows endlessly, like it did last weekend.

As far as inbreeding...I've lived in some southern states among some real rednecks and always thought that inbreeding was a myth, an urban legend.....until I came to The Black Hills of South Dakota. I've seen more inbreeding here than ANYONE should ever see.....it's truly disturbing.

I'm from Minnesota. I'd doubt that I'm inbred... much...

And to think that most anglo-saxons in Minnesota would be descendants of at least one English man!!!!

BAM!!!

Um, not true, Muggaz.

The majority of us are Scandanavian...which is not in England.

SHAM!!!

I just shook my fist at it and yelled "HOOOOOGAAAAN!" in a very menacing voice.

Once again, you miss the point... You cannot possibly tell the difference between an Englishman, American, Australian or Scandanavian just by looking at them... So in essence - Minnesotans look inbred according to you.

This is so much fun, i dont have to proove your an idiot, cause you do it yourself. From now on though, i will be more carfeul and spell everything out for you, because you are obviously naive enough to look at every comment on face value.

BAM!!!

Hey, thanks for proving your own self an idiot, Mr. Muggaz. I was employing a literary device known as "sarcasm." Look it up. It's fun.

And actually, you can tell the difference. English tend to me darker haired and eyed and have bad teeth, and Australians are criminals. Scandanavians, as far as I can tell, are pretty much perfect.

Seriously, though, there are obvious differences between the people. I'm not saying that you can tell every single time, but there are general characteristics common to each nationality. Some of us look past skin color.

I dont want to go in circles with you....

but when i can be bothered, i am going to get three random pictures of Americans, Englishmen, and Australians, and i will test you. If you get one wrong, i will simply disregard everything you ever say again.... because you are claiming to have super natural powers here... I know there are general characteristics... but not withing the anglo-saxons.

Or to save face, you can just admit i am right.

BAM!!!

btw - sarcasm doesn't translate in writing you fool.

this is funny! btw I'm English, so watch what you say! Also, I'm not inbred (as far as I can tell), and I have GOOD teeth! Which are all mine. You can tell us English inbreds quite easily though, and I'm sad you missed this: ask to look at our legs, and if they look like plucked chicken legs, then we're English. Ha!

PS Don't all Australians wear those funny hats with the corks hanging off them? You could tell us apart that way. And the Americans would be the ones in shell suits and bum bags! lol

Or as you americans would say: "Fanny bags". Means a WHOLE different thing over here in the UK

Gee, lots of catching up to do since I last glanced at this thread....it appears to have gone in a pleasant bickering direction.......which, with Unfairman, is to be expected.

Anyway, once I clean out the remnants of my flask and sort out my dirty clothes from chicago it's bedtime in preparation for another week at the rat races.

Superpsych - hats with corks on them? What the?
Muggaz - it's "I don't have to prove you're an idiot" not "your" (sorry, just an anal pet-peeve)
