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

These all hang in the living room over the couch.

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP WRITING "KNIGHT-RIDDER"? LEARN TO SPELL FFS

My grandparents had "The Bullfighter" on black velvet over theirs.

As someone with an objectively fat ass, yes it sounds crappy when you use that physical feature to be synonymous with boorish rude behavior.

Sorry. If it makes it any better it was a general comment, tho prompted by a specific instance this morning. I didn't even note the size of the person, guess I meant it due to them obscuring something, like if someone said "get your big head out of the way of the tv" or whatever. Tho less baggage there. I'm explaining this too deeply!

we can't all be hank hill

fake mcgee you mean why the hyphen? my understanding is they used to have it until sometime in the 90s so maybe just people never got the memo?

Maybe he thinks it's supposed to be a ref to TV show Knight Rider

yes, i blew that by not including

and now i'm irrationally sheepish

Ok ppl spelling that as the agency is hilarious.

Only non-family portraits I've seen are of Jesus.

Well, I used to have one of Kim Deal, but that was just me.

I've got this framed on my wall, because why wouldn't you?

'_____ is one of our finest ______s'

fuck you, just say _____ is a really good _____

I hate the dudes that are so impatient when you're making a right turn that they overdramatically and passive aggressively change lanes.

o so sorry I had to make a turn bro reach into my soul and take an IOU for my penance

although I will say people who take too long to make a right turn are also savages (yeah I know wrong thread etc)

Stop asking me if I want to close all tabs even though I check the damn box telling you to always close all tabs every time. ALWAYS CLOSE ALL TABS, DAMN YOU. ALWAYS CLOSE ALL TAAAAAAABSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssss..............

when people write non-acronyms in all caps like they are acronyms

People who every year, end the year by saying "Good riddance <whatever year it is>! Looking forward to <whatever year it will be>". Of course it's one thing if you have a legitimately bad year, but I know people who have basically said every year has been shit for like the past 7 years and I'm kinda like....you're bumming me out, yo.

tbh the past 7 years have been pretty shit...

Every year has been more awesome than the last for me.

Every year has been more awesome than the next for me.

Nyack, New York. The name drives me fucking bonkers.

It is a suburb of New York City, situated north of South Nyack, east of Central Nyack, south of Upper Nyack, and west of the Hudson River.

Fuck you, Nyack.

I guess it's the "Nya" and the "Ack" but it's impossible to say "Nyack" without sounding contemptuous.

yeah nyack is like a word that was made up solely to sound ridiculous in a new york accent

carl if you're using Firefox do you know you can set it to close all tabs without asking?

It's IE (work laptop) and there's a checkbox that says "always close all tabs" that I check every time but it doesn't remember that I checked it.

bummer - just checking. work computers are the suck.

IE is made by savages

I appreciate the suggestion!

There's something funky about our set up where IE doesn't always remember things. Jeff explained it once but I blacked out. Rumor has it the firm is switching to Chrome so there is hope, I suppose

I would bet they have some network policy that enforces their web proxy that overwrites all settings

I could use Chrome. I have it installed. But there are some firm apps that get weirded out with Chrome so I usually just segregate work use to IE (it's work so why not make it as annoying as possible) and personal use to Chrome.

xp that sounds right? Or something about logging into different servers? And half the time I'm accessing my work computer through Citrix?

yeah, our network means there's very little you can do to override the crappy settings all our computers have

i couldn't even install the Shockwave plug-in for Firefox the other day.

actually, the IT at work is one thing that does make me IA some days

I don't know. Back before I went to law school I was actually on top of my game w/r/t computers and programming and the internet, having previously been a tech writer for a software company and a freelancer who did some light web stuff in additional to writing/editing, but at about the time school started, Web 2.0 showed up and it wasn't just HTML and CSS and a little javascript anymore but all of this complicated crap like Ruby and Python and god knows what else. Then I got a Mac and let it tell me what to do instead of customizing my own set up and stopped paying attention to WTF was going on in subsequent iterations of Windows and now I'm basically one of those asshole lawyers who can't figure out how to print a document without calling my secretary.

;__;

Jesse, can you explain why my internet is out when the electricity is still working????

oh is Nyack one syllable? I sorta liked a band called Nyack once and have been mentally mispronouncing their name all these years

this thread is educational!

No it's Nye-ack

no I believe it is pronounced "Nigh Yak"

xp

or what silby said

Nay augh

you know another ny town name I hate? Roslyn. I don't know why, but I hate that name.

Do you pronounce it kind of like a strangulated 'New York', is that part of the annoyance? Niiyahk?

No it's Nye-ack

those are basically the same and correct ime

Yeah, I read that, I suppose I can just imagine a weird accent pronouncing those like some bastardised New York too, hence why I still asked my question.

Always reminded me of "Nyuck" (per the Three Stooges).

the train stations at newark and new york (which are sequential on the amtrak ne line) are both called 'penn station', just to fuck with non-english-speaking tourists, apparently

I feel bad about it, because Nyack is apparently from the Algonquin.
