People Just Being Stupid

[Fathom Zero]

Since I seem to make too many of these, I'd much rather keep them all contained to a single thread.

Basically, people don't want to see underwear. Because it's offensive or something. And they're calling the authorities. Now, people that use clotheslines are stepping up and fighting back.

[Colonel Flagg]

Never let it be said that we as Americans didn't stand up and fight for what we believe in.

The right to hang our undies from a clothesline is the right to be free.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I like the idea of the Stupid people thread. People who oppose dry hanging clothes should get something better to do with their time.

:rolleyes

[Fathom Zero]

I used to do stuff like that in middle school, thinkin' I was being all subversive and stuff. It was cute.

[Dimnos]

What? Rap your fast food order? Or hang your unmentionables?

[Tadao]

Being black while in Utah.

[Fathom Zero]

Meep.

[Dr. Boogie]

I predict an increase in anti-roadrunner legislation.

[Geggy]

I predict an increase in anti-roadrunner legislation.

It will fall flat on its face if they ever try to get it enacted.

[executioneer]

and then its acme rocket boots will cause it to shoot off of a cliff

http://consumerist.com/5408629/college-students-arrested-for-refusing-to-pay-tip

Gratuity fees are such an oxymoron, I can't even see straight sometimes. The key's to pay in cash so that they don't get your name, then slip out undetected and never go back to the shitty restaurant.

[Tadao]

What a gay state.

[executioneer]

fuck philly to hell

[Dimnos]

I think I would have done the ole' dine and dash. $73 for salad and wings?! For $10 you can buy everything you need to make a great salad and eat like 4-6 time depending on how big of a salad you want. Wings? Wingstop. That is all that needs to be said about that.

[Fathom Zero]

I think I'm the only person I know that thinks Buffalo Wild Wings has the shittiest food. Wingstop RULES.

[Dimnos]

What? Wingstop Cajun boys? Hell yeah! :yum

[Tadao]

Must have been a huge party of people. There is a law, might be nation wide, that automatically inserts a tip when the table has a certain amount of people.

[Dr. Boogie]

Yeah, I've been to a lot of restaurants that say they'll automatically add gratuity to large parties. They probably should've just called the manager aside and explained that the service was shit.

[Tadao]

I did that once. I took the family out for Japanese. 150 dollar bill and the tip was added, but the waitress only checked our table once and we all needed more water. Not only that, she got our order wrong. The manager reduced the bill so that basically, the restaurant paid her tip.

First thing the bitch said was that she was great with large groups at a table.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think I'm the only person I know that thinks Buffalo Wild Wings has the shittiest food. Wingstop RULES.

Buffalo Wild Wings is bad. I've never heard of Wingstop though. Everyone should come here for good wings. I'll show you at least a hundred different places with great wings.

If I must go to a franchise Quaker Steak and Lube actually has good wings.

[Colonel Flagg]

What a gay state.

fuck philly to hell

Hey! I live here, you know. >:

The fact that you're both right is beside the point.

[Tadao]

I really hope that manager who called the police got his ass fired. There is such a thing as bad publicity.

[executioneer]

Hey! I live here, you know. >:

present company excluded, then ;(

[Kitsa]

I've never been in a buffalo wild wings, but I walked past one in a mall once. This chick was walking out in a tight pair of terrycloth pants, and the two guys walking in were so busy staring at her ass that they walked right into the door with a loud THUNK. Left faceprints on the glass, it was awesome.

[Fathom Zero]

I know the large-party gratuity thing, and I respect that. It's for eight or more people or something like that. I dunno. From what I read, it didn't look like they had a lot of people. It just looks like there were a few people that bought shitty expensive wings or something and left.

[Tadao]

I bet I'm right.

[executioneer]

it said there were two people who got arrested and six others so yeah it was 8 total

[Fathom Zero]

it said there were two people who got arrested and six others so yeah it was 8 total

OH OKAY.

Still. I doubt it would've been a good story if it turns out that they broke the law by not paying that stupid mandatory thing. Or maybe that is all there is to it, and the people are just spoiled douchebags.

[executioneer]

why don't they just increase their stupid prices 18% if it's so important to them

[Tadao]

Or they are people being stupid

Hahaha. I don't believe this is stupid at all, really.

[Geggy]

Police brutality with modern technology.

[El Blanco]

Or rather shitty parenting mixed with a dumb ass cop in the Ozarks.

Secret Jesus Bible Codes? Riiiiiiiight.... :rolleyes

[Dimnos]

http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/19/jesus-guns.jpg

[Grislygus]

God, I love that story


I wouldn't if Trijicon were pussing out and pretending that they had noooo idea, but they're being shamelessy, brazenly awesome about the whole thing

"YEAH, WE BIN AHMIN AH GUNS WIDDA POWER UH JEBUS SINCE WORLD WAH TWO. YOU GOTTA FUCKIN PROBLEM WIDDAT, FAGGOT?"

[Fathom Zero]

I watched the story and it was good, but the header made me laugh my ass off. It's like they threw all sorts of abrasive words together. They should've thrown "killer" in there, too.

[Colonel Flagg]

I get 2 Corinthians 4:6, but what is N8:12? Numbers? That reads a little wierd in and of itself:

Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD to make atonement for the Levites.

or perhaps Nehemiah:

And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.

Funny thing, both quotations refer to the Levites.

So which is it? Sethomas? Anyone care?

EDIT: More likely JN refers to John 8:12 - this quotation is far more well-known.

[Fathom Zero]

All I know is that it's a secret Jesus bible code.

[Dimnos]

I get 2 Corinthians 4:6, but what is N8:12? Numbers? That reads a little wierd in and of itself:



JN8:12 for John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Edit: Missed your edit and jumped right in explaining it. :(

[Fathom Zero]

I wouldn't know any of that; I'm Catholic and we don't read the Bible.

[Dimnos]

I used to think that was what was wrong with Catholics. These days I think its what makes them the better Christians. :\

[Colonel Flagg]

JN8:12 for John 8:12

Edit: Missed your edit and jumped right in explaining it. :(

'sok.

I'm not Catholic, so as my Mom keeps telling me I'm not going to Heaven. :(

[executioneer]

nobody else is going to heaven either, dude

don't sweat it

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

CHARLIE, ITCHY AND EVEN CARFACE ARE GOIN TO HEAVEN

[Dimnos]

Thats dog heaaven. It dont count. :rolleyes

http://consumerist.com/2010/01/passenger-and-steward-fight-over-ice.html

[Tadao]

Is there more to that story?

[Fathom Zero]

I dunno. Just thought it was amusing.

People have been thrown off of planes for asking for ice or juice, so I was surprised when something rational happened.

[Tadao]

IDK, I don't think they get thrown off for asking or glass shaking or being snotty. I think they get thrown off for yelling and screaming. Maybe people have calmed down now that they know that if they cause a big commotion, they will be anal probed when they land.

[Fathom Zero]

Tell that to the guy that might face federal charges for asking for a glass of orange juice. (http://consumerist.com/2009/12/american-airlines-responds-to-psychotic-oj-incident.html)

[Tadao]

His story (what little there is of it) sounds like bullshit. He's acting all ALL I DID WAS ASK FOR ORANGE JUICE. He was told no and why and then he wouldn't just let it go. HEY DUMBFUCK THE PLANE HAS TO TAKE OFF SIT THE FUCK DOWN SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LET ME GET THIS PLANE IN THE AIR THEN I CAN PAMPER YOU 1ST CLASS FAGGOT ASS WITH ORANGEJUICE.

[Pentegarn]

Except he has 6 witnesses that verify his story was how it went down

[Tadao]

six christian women from some christian group of good doing or some shit.

[Pentegarn]

6 witnesses are 6 witnesses though. And in federal court (if it gets that far) their 'good doing' will add to their power as witnesses when his lawyer questions them on the stand. Honestly though I doubt it will get that far. I think this "Helen" person's days working for AA are numbered. Especially if they lose a dozen customers to Delta's offer of instant gold status to those who were witnesses of her attitude.

[Tadao]

yes i fly 1st class all the time, i still don't understand why i can't have a glass of OJ from you before we take off, this is highly unusual. HEY I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU ARE TALKING TO ME YOU RUDE BITCH.

[Tadao]

Oh I agree, her job is done. There are tons of people who are waiting for stewert jobs after the big layoffs. It's so easy to hate on airlines today that whether this guys story is completely true or not, the airline will accept blame.

[Pentegarn]

Thing is, if she was serving the food (which she was) this was not pre flight. It was actually 45 minutes into the flight (http://consumerist.com/2009/12/asking-for-orange-juice-on-aa-may-violate-federal-law.html). So, by itself, that was not an unreasonable request. Maybe she didn't have drinks on the tray, if that was the case, a simple "the drinks are on another serving tray" would have been more than enough response.

[Tadao]

Oh, I guess I have to watch FOX and friends for the story. :(

[Pentegarn]

Not sure if he mentioned it there, I was going by the witness account on an earlier entry linked in the original article.

[Tadao]

:lol she's a total cunt

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The real terrorists can be found flying first class, drinking orange juice.


:lol

[Dimnos]

OJ is a serious issue. Its a key component in bomb making. They cant just go handing it out to anyone in first class. >:

One record dating to 1983 from an Alabama textbook committee said the book was "a real downer" and called for its rejection from schools.

I don't know that humanity really deserves to go on sometimes. It's really hard for me to wrap my head around the way people think.

Man, I didnt get that copy of the book when I was a kid. Probably would have held my attention better if it did. :(

[Fathom Zero]

Yeah, I didn't either. Makes me wanna read it more now. :lol

[Dimnos]

What was the similar book about the Russian chick that was WAY more bad ass?

[Fathom Zero]

:eek I have not heard of that.

Alicia Appleman-Jurman. Polish girl. My bad.

"Two adults and three teenagers were arrested in Waterville, Maine, in March and charged with arson, with all the evidence needed consisting of a video the five made, describing their crime, crafted with theme music and cast-and-crew credits. [Morning Sentinel (Waterville), 4-1-09]"

[Dimnos]

He has been married for four years, yet remains childless. Nobody knows why he is unable to conceive (although most speculators suspect infertility), but what we do know for certain is that this inability to procreate so angered him that he cut off his tongue as a sacrifice to Hindu God Lord Shiva.

Marvel Comics' depiction of anti-tax protesters inspires anger, apology

[executioneer]

wasn't there a bit on the daily show that basically said the same thing, only definitely on purpose

[Fathom Zero]

Probably, but they're on a comedy network and comic books are supposed to be irrelevant and non-topical.

SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

[Pentegarn]

I think it is stupid to get mad at comic books for how they portray anything. I want to tell them, "You do know that's a comic book you're complaining about, right?"

[The Leader]

You don't read very many comics, do you? :(

[Colonel Flagg]

The serious tea-baggers get their news of current events straight from the comic books.

I laughed. then I thought, "somewhere out there is a guy with that much anger looking for weapons that don't look like weapons." So then I cried. Then I looked at the tissue paper/M3 12 gauge and I laughed again.
