    @stuka:

    I’m prejudice against the elderly. :evil:

    As drivers?  You’re damn right.  8-)

    I am prejudice against elderly female asians as drivers because everyone knows they are a combo of the 3 worst kinds of drivers :roll:

    I’m prejudiced against people who don’t play Axis and Allies.

    I also don’t like people who eat things with faces on them.  They should rip the faces off first, THEN eat it!

    This isn’t really a rant, but I want to give Kudos to the new French President for his recent statements regarding Iran.


  • Back on the rant front…

    Being on vacation, and because your company gives you a cell phone, a lap top, and a wireless broadband card, they expect you to still be answering your phone and checking your e-mail while you are on vacation…

    I had more than a dozen phone calls TODAY, with multiple voice mails from co-workers (despite my outgoing message stating I am on vacation until 1 OCT) about inane CRAP, and asking why I had not responded to e-mails…

    Can you REALLY take a vacation in the modern era of wireless telecommunications :?

    I left the laptop and the wireless card at work, and my phone ringer is OFF!  :-D


  • That’s why the military is great!  When I’m on leave, I can expect NO calls about work, unless there’s some paperwork that needs some information that only I can give.  Other than that, I’m kinda tired of it…  :roll:

    I’m all over the place on this one.  I’m thinking about things you can eat with faces, as usual I have a hard time keeping my mind out of the gutter…

    u need to put in autoresponse on ur phone and email sayin

    "me on vacation

    u gtfo unless it emergency

    if it not emergency and u still call/email, call ur next of kin and funeral director first"

  • 2007 AAR League

    Or how bout this:

    “Hey Buddy, there’s no “u” in vacation”.

    That’ll teach’um.


  • Well, I could not check e-mail right now if I wanted to…  I deliberately left the laptop at work, and I do not have access to our secured network on my home system.

    The phone voice DOES say that I will be out of the office until 1 OCT, they call and leave voice mail anyway…

    As for the spelling thing…

    The one I use at work is after my Ops Manager lets fly with "There is no I in TEAM:
    To which I respond, “But there is an M-E in it”  :-D

    Look, idiots (90%+) will assume ur still checking ur regular voice mail.

    If you leave a message like “I am NOT CHECKING MY VOICE MAIL U IDIOTS U NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE HELP U” (say that part REAL loud), then they will try other means.

    u gotta be like REAL obvious about it tho . . . ppl can be reeaaal stupid.  if ur all polite and like “im not back until Oct 1”, they like “OKs tee heez, imma leave a voice mail, he never said that he isn’t going to be working while he’s on vacation tee hee heez!!!1!”

    I hate working with idiots, but that’s wat u get, o wellz.

    Yes,you can make big fools out of people. its fun. I sometimes pretend I’m psychic and come out with these visions that are really obvious but people still fall for them.


  • I hate people who think you can just believe something for no reason.  If you cannot provide a logical reason, then I see no point in taking or listening to what you are saying.

    Logical reasons are easy to concoct. That’s why I demand empirical reasons.

    But I don’t hate those people - that’s most of my extended family. I’m a skeptic in a very church-active family. Not conservative or fundamentalist, but very actively involved in churchwork. So if I hated my whole family for their superstition, that would put me in an awkward spot.

    I just accept it as part of human nature. Not everyone is comfortable challenging and rejecting the basic worldview they were taught as children - it’s a pretty traumatic process.

    My new rant…

    People who give you Karma (especially smites), but don’t post the fact or why.

    I just like clicking stuff.  You were posting in the wrong place at the wrong time, brotha.

    (actually, I haven’t smitten/smited/smote anyone here)


  • I admit, I have given you several.  But based on your total, I am a VERY small portion of your smites.

    I am just waiting to crack 100… no idea who my Secret Admirers are…  :-D

  • 2007 AAR League

    Switch I would’ve just smited you but its GD … if you are in another one of my unread threads i will :wink:


  • Thanks!  I just hit triple digits!

    I am so popular!

    :-D
