Since this is supposed to be the rants section, I'm gonna try and start a little vitriol flowin' by stating, resolutely and for the record, that I totally hate Joe. He smells funny.

Modest Mouse is coming but are playing the worst venue in town--an entertainment club with a bowling alley and games area that has the cash to outbid other venues.  It's unfortunate they also have a great booking agent.

Sounds like the best venue ever.

I hate people that are down on bowling. Stereotyping us, prejudging us, ridiculing us, cackling behind our backs. We can hear it ya know (sob sob). Just because we like to drink beer and smoke cigarettes during our athletics everyone thinks we're losers. So what if we wear sleeveless t-shirts and nacho-stained wife-beaters? We are people just like everyone else dammit! When will all the hatred end I ask you???

This would be a bowling venue that is catered towards minors, therefore smoking is not allowed.  There is loud butt thumping music pressed through the speakers.  There is enough teen steam in the building to power a locomotive.  Oh yah... did I mention that it's also in West Edmonton Mall?  Don't defy me my gripe.  Do so again and I'll use Sonja as a condom and fuck wickedy wack up the ass.

I really, really, really hate the forum bug that causes you to get an error message when posting, so people who don't realize your message HAS IN FACT been posted re-post their message 2-7 times by mistake. Bah.

Come on...I was finally able to put that nasty little event out of my mind. As a sidenote, those who know me well, know that I love every type of people....but for some reason (even when I do not know beforehand) Canadians have a tendency to piss me off and irritate me. Point in hand. Ha.

Thanks for sticking up for me, Matt. Kinda.

 :twisted:

Hey MattB,
I shit smarter than you.
Sonja,
Apologies... I got over-enthusiastic.  My lyrical intentions were misinterpreted.  I would be a fool of a man to do anything but try to endear myself to a sex columnist.
Wicketywack,
you're god-damned poo enthusiast

All right, I give up. You nailed it, Mojangles. I shit stupid.

Yesterday I got in the car with my girlfriend to travel halfway across town and have dinner with some of our friends. She asked me why I looked so depressed and I told her, "I'm bummed. Some fucking Canadian just whipped out a devastating online beatdown on me n' Hal."

"Don't talk like that about Canadians, babe." she replied, "You're always telling me how much fun you used to have in Vancouver and how Margaret Trudeau was criminally misunderstood in her day. This kind of blatant nationalism is beneath you. What did he say about Hal that's upsetting you so much?"

"He called him a..." I had to hesitate. I really didn't want to offend such a beautiful and cultured woman. "A... a 'poo enthusiast.'" I clenched my eyes shut, ready for her to burst into outraged tears.

"Huh?" She seemed puzzled, but not very upset. "What's wrong with liking Tigger and Heffalumps? I don't see how accusing someone of enjoying A.A. Milne can be considered an insult."

"Not a 'Pooh enthusiast', sweetheart! He meant a fuckin' turd burglar!"

"Whaaaaaaaaaat!?! That lousy puck-suckin', Labatts-drinkin', metric-lovin' half-French Canuck cocksucker! You go back there and tear his ass up!"

"But it's a thread about 'Stuff I Hate' that Ashworth started! I can't hijack it just to get into a juvenile online argument with a guy named Momjumper... I'll look like a total ass! What if Ian MacKaye stopped by and read our posts? He'll think Nada Mucho sucks and he'll never sign The Glasses onto Dischord!"

Of course, you can't argue with a woman, so here I am. Back off of Hal, my friend. Back up before shit gets ugly.
