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

I have this cool-looking coffee mug that I hadn't used in years, and I decided to put it back in rotation

I just remembered why I stopped using it. The handle is curved like a large arch that's a little bit too arched to get all your fingers around the handle, and it's also kind of thin and weirdly sized. but the worst flaw that you don't realize until you're walking back from the urn with a mug of hot coffee is that the actual mug itself is so heavy, and the handle is so weird and difficult to grip that the whole thing literally starts to slowly slide and tilt downwards in your hand as you're carrying it!
wtf

it's SO stupidly designed I want to punch whoever made it.

like I have to put my other hand underneath it to stop it falling because my hand just wants to let go of it

Destroy that mug! Wear safety goggles and smash it with a hammer. You will feel like a benefactor of humanity as you do so.

Alternatively, wash it well, wrap it beautifully and make a gift of it to someone you hate, while professing to offer it as a token of your esteem.

I'm going to put old pens in it because it is actually nice to look at

It is an evil mug, it will dry up all your ink.

The screams are coming from inside the mug.

relatedly, bass players who do brief little noodly things right after a song finishes, like a little string slide or a quick thump.

pen is mug hard to hold

What about a high-hat like at the beginning of Back in Black.

Thank god somebody else commented about "old pens in" b/c I felt like it was just me being a perv

I'm always looking for a place to put my old pens

OTM x1000. Fuck this fucking practice.

I hear you guys on the drum clicks, but you're just inviting cutsey little Uno Does Flügen Frägen intros.

Dos. I do know how to spell in Spanish.

colorful vegetable pasta noodles.

i want to kick them in teeth.

i love those!

me too give them to me

why cant they just be pasta? shit!

tastes exactly the same to me

they're kinda tacky but they taste ok

pp are you thinking of bono's inexplicable UNO DOS TRES CATORCE

I just misspelled Dos, but I was thinking of Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs.

Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs are awesome though

Yeah, but replace every time you hear a drum click with that and SEE WHAT I MEAN?

It would make Fugazi songs a bit more interesting, I give you that.

The first time I ever heard this was Devo and Jocko Homo.

A year or so later I was at a holiday camp, and the evening entertainment was provided by a permanent pop/soft rock band doing the Yellow River type of song you know right? They started every song by clicking drumsticks and I so wanted them to launch into the Devo song. Every. Damn. Time.

If you're approaching this from a standpoint of "taste" then you just don't understand why I'm so irrationally PISSED.

Not sure what the problem is, the green ones have spinach in and the red ones have tomato in, why is this so bad?

I am beside a phoneshouter on the tram and the urge to assault is rising

Shh! It was hard enough getting the kids to eat the green ones, they'd always eat the orange and yellow ones...

xpost obv.

It's the colors! They should all be beige. Thats just how it should be. Its nice that they have chlorophyll in them or whatever, but they should be chemically recolored beige.

Side note: I gave a relative who only ate white foods until they were 7 years old.

Have

Erik Satie??

Drumstick clicks should be replaced by muted electric guitar strums tbf

That 51% stat on the gawker butt wipe thing made me think about polling ilx for the wet/dry wipe ratio but then I thought

- I do not care how anyone else wipes his or her butt
- I do not want to be the butt wipe poll guy

It's probably already been done on ILTMI but I do not go to that place.

omg, I missed the butt wipe thing. Jesus, enjoy a clean anus for christ's sake.

slam dunk to thread

oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

I finally got through to the doctor's billing office only to find out that they don't handle billing for that office anymore and I would have to call the actual office. "Why is your number on the bill?" "I don't know. We don't handle their billing." SIGH. FINE.

So I call the doc's office with a heavy heart because the office staff there is really uniformly terrible and first they put me on hold for eight minutes (thank you, timer on my phone!) and then cannot get my name right. Some of you know my last name and it's not the most common name in North America but it's British as hell and so generally recognizable by English speakers and spelled phonetically and only two syllables but still I had to spell it for them SIX times.

And THEN they put me on hold again and came back and said that their billing system wasn't working and I had to call back on Monday. Then I blacked out.

What about a high-hat like at the beginning of Back in Black.

yeah but the hi-hat is a musical instrument that is designed to sound good on a record. Sticks are designed for playing things like the hi-hat and the drums, not each other. It's such an awful sound. Maybe about one time in one hundred it works on an aggro song, but even there it's such a cliched signifier of aggro-ness that it grates on a whole other level.

this is pretty silly

seems like you're trying to come up with rational explanations for your irrational anger
