Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

ugh PP that would drive me insane

parking at the Coliseum for Raiders games tailgates has been a nightmare for the last few years -- not only has the parking cost gone up every year, and the actual space you have to tailgate shrinks by like a fucking foot every year, the parking lot attendants get progressively dumber and less able to understand that most of us come here ALL THE FUCKING TIME and know how to park. I don't mind if it's just a couple of dudes pointing the general way they want you to enter the lot, but when you have a cluster of like 5 attendants standing together each waving you in a different direction and NONE of them are paying even the slightest attention to where anyone else is parking, it's just like, why the fuck are you here.

Legitimate complaints, I wholly support you in your opinion.

But the day that an Oakland Raiders tailgate is nice and orderly with nary a detail that doesn't lift the blood pressure a little, that's the day the Raiders become as exciting as a Golden State Warriors tailgate.

good point

we stopped tailgating in the mainlot anyway -- BART parking lot way less full, lots more space, and everyone's way more chill. And it's like half the price to park.

I just always assumed parking was horrible and those people weren't really in costume.

acronyms that don't stand for the thing they're supposed to stand for, e.g. england and wales cricket board (ecb)

it's dickish and lazy and it needs to stop

The worst one, for all sorts of reasons, is one whose office we drive past a lot - SPELD: the Specific Learning Difficulties Association

I am guilty lol-ing so hard right now.

Hurting are you happy to have your name on here? Maybe it's nbd but I just noticed you included it in the Twin Peaks page reply and couldn't recall you ever posting your irl name.

Totally just sent a friend request based on that info. Yippee-IA Motherf***ers.

totally just discovered where hurting works based on that info #crepenotcrepe

if they had put a letter in there so that it made a word, they could at least say they had made a word

but it doesn't make a word, and there's no 'e' in specific

oh fuck, there's an 'e' in specific

i need sleep

Dude was it ver therm like four in the morning this Saturday?

Weirdest auto-correction, tbh, but you get where I'm coming from.

i really don't

but i can't spell words so

HOW HOT IS AUGUST that's what I'm asking.

having just come back to the office in four layers and a doctor who scarf I CAN'T RELIABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION

the Priest doing the pre-game prayer

The fucking WHAT!? You have religious people PRAYING at sporting events? I knew america was god-crazy but thats mental. If you did that here you'd be beer-bottled out of the staduim in short order.

yep. There's been an 'invocation' before each live NFL game I've ever been to. I make sure to text lord belial during it.

'dear father, please let there be some awesome, violent hits and also please let Desean Jackson do something hella-fucking stupid, as is your will.'

argh, no, thx for heads up

i have tried to live responsibly and make good choices but i hate hate HATE that i have arrived at a point, and more specifically a place, in my life where i have to pronounce the name Anthony with a soft 'th'

^^^

Where were you before that you pronounced it otherwise?

the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland

I have heard people on the east coast of These United States pronounce it like Ant-knee but I can't remember where exactly.

Also maybe I made that up. I don't know.

what does a hard "th" sound like?

want to be clear i am not insisting on a rightness/wrongness, which is why i chose this partic forum to get it off my chest

ANN ton knee

actually, there is a specific wrongness which is really only tangentially related which is saying roman fellow mark antony's name with a 'th', this is a thing i have actually heard, entirely rational anger there tho

hey if that's the way he wants it pronounced, who are you to argue with a guy playing a jack daniels bass.

In the 17th century, the letter "h" was inserted into the spelling on the mistaken belief that the name derived from the Greek word ανθος (anthos), meaning "flower".[4]

I have heard people on the east coast of These United States pronounce it like Ant-knee but I can't remember where exactly.

I've heard this on TV, and I think I recall Tony Soprano's wife calling him either "Ant-knee" or "An-to-knee."

nb: the k in knee is silent

want to be clear i am not insisting on a rightness/wrongness, which is why i chose this partic forum to get it off my chest

you chose wrong pal

i don't understand but i am ok with that

NO YOU'RE NOT

my late brooklyn landlady's son is named ant-ny. he lives in it-ly

his favorite white stripes song is 'the hardest buh-un to buh-un'

My wife's maiden name is Marr 'enn, like the comedian.

Oh RS I thought you meant you preferred saying "anfonee".

ime there are the following types of ant(h)onys:

- anthonys who are regularly pronounced wrong and spelled wrong, and spend far too much time time trying to correct everyone

- anthonys who claim to not care ('really it's fine') and are visibly fatigued by anyone who spends more than five seconds discussing it

- antonys who are mispronounced and/or misspelled by the ~1/3 of people who don't pay attention

- tonys who got sick of all that shit a long time ago

^^^manager material

My computer keeps rejecting hard drives. Not sure why, maybe i need more memory but it's doing my head in. I transfer material over to a hard drive and then a while later the computer just pops up a ballon saying taht the drive is no longer usable.
Something fucked up going on here and I think it has possibly just lost me all he photos I've taken over the last year on a different drive. NOt sure if permanently or if reinstalling Windows would be the answer. If I did need to do that I would need to be able to transfer material off the central drive, but the computer keeps rejecting hard drives after I've set them up and got them running.
