Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

LOL, it was obvious I was going to translate that into dinerese because what decent 'Mexican' place serves french fries? Also, mostly I go to places which are like 'grab your chosen can out of the tall fridge over there'.

There are a few Mexican places that sell burger and fries, usually on the kids menu for picky eaters.

But Coke and Pepsi happening at the same place? That'll be the day.

A lot of taquerias/burrito places around here serve french fries. There was a place in my old building that had a burrito and french fry combo special.

yeah I was gonna say lots of mexican-for-mexicans places serve french fries

Not particularly decent but Potato Olés® seems to be a big part Taco John's schtick:

Also last part of that url is hilarious to me

Assuming AA is in the UK

ia times a billion, but moving on

terrorism stories relating to the US are going to play big there because of various links over the last decade between terrorism in the US and UK, even if this particular incident happens to be lone wolves. Also, took place at an international event, and was a somewhat more captivating and unusual story than an earthquake. If sheer body count were the basis for reporting, there would be an above-the-fold front page headline every day about cancer.

i see your point and i don't disagree with it, but this is a thing that happens all the time, and it's not just here. the press of the entire world places a far greater emphasis on events in america than it does in china (in this example, but it applies far more broadly). everything you said could happen in an english-common country that's not regarded as elite for some reason, and we would not hear a thing about it.

anyway sorry ia stuff

You're close, mate. Here's a hint, count how many Canadian restaurants there are in most U.S. cities, and then run a tally of those restaurants who serve punch to paranoid people who think the waitstaff is talking about them.

Though I wish there was a place where I could try this exotic poutine.

i don't know what that means but it sounds hot

captcha box and its illegibility drives me nuts

what ho, Marmite Maiden and Fall Yearbook my good compatriots

loool marmite maiden HAIL FELLOW WELL MET

I'll mail out Poutine in this year's Christmas swap, no worries

:D :D :D

Is there a Canadian band called the Poo-Teens? If not, there should be.

Wait. No there shouldn't.

'your terrible ideas'

brb forming band

Thanks to someone else on my FB commeting on a false flag nutter website link someoen'd posted, Ive now managed to accidentally see *way more graphic* footage of the bombings than anything that made the media. Fully explicit limbs off bones out gore.

Tanks also to FB for suggesting I "friend" the 2 women the guy I'm hung up on has been seeing recently. SUPER.

ooh is that the one about how a bunch of actors were snuck into the crowd and they all put on these amazingly lifelike "prosthesis" blown-off limb thingies in mere seconds (even though similar movie makeup takes HOURS), and "I'm an EMT and I know that you would see more blood in this picture" etc.? That's the one I saw, anyway.

My other favorite conspiracy theme so far is "Isn't it odd that police were announcing a bomb drill right before this happened?" Like, (1) bullshit (2) no that wouldn't be that odd, it would be one of those coincidences (3) what are the implications of this "oddness" -- I don't even understand. Police announced a bomb drill so they could fake a bombing?
