  1. nothings more goddamned annoying than people who use gmail smugly talk about how much better it is. reminds me of that South Park episode when all the hybrid drivers got really smug about it. but a gmail enthusiast would most likely respond, "I wouldn't know - I don't watch T.V." to which they can go selfrighteously fuck themselves.

     

    "nothings more annoying than those smug Toyota drivers who pass me as I sit in my broken Ford on the side of the highway"

  2. I'm the object of so much derision around here because a) I post so much stupid shit b) I lack a sense of humor (both in the delivery and receivals department) c) I'm the most repetitive poster on the board and d) I'm consistently an asshole to just about everyone. I'm a pretty standard, cookie cutter prick - nothing special - and I get treated as such.

     

     

    I hate TTK because he took my job :cry:

  3. Maybe the others do talk too much about things that aren't necessary to decide the case, just to be sure everyone else hears how smart they are? Maybe not?

     

    I agree - watching the Supreme Court on CSpan has completely changed everything.

    I'll take a few sharp stabs to each eye instead, please

     

    Didn't get the joke, did you?

  5. Anybody know if Patagonia's still making clothes for the military? That's fine by me, and I mean no disrespect to my family members or anyone else in the service. But it does seem inconsistent with their marketing. Integral Designs stands behind their choice to make military gear, and I respect that a lot more than if they carried on a continuous litany about being good for the planet but participated in an economic sector that's all around very bad for it. (Although the petroleum and metal basis for almost all our gear depends on resource extraction that destroys the landscapes used to market the final product.) I complained to Rock and Ice a while back about a Honda ad they ran, in response to their bragging about turning down a free Hummer because it wouldn't have been ecologically responsible. It's not the actual choices here that bug me, it's the hypocrisy that distracts us from recognizing some of the things in this industry that we *can* have an affect on.

     

    By that logic the entire industry is hypocritical and we should all just shoot ourselves.

  6. It was the flagship store, and as I mentioned, my joking with the clerk about it didn't go over well at all, she gave me the "stink eye" pulled back the rental price list, as you may be aware REI doesnt require a $$ deposit for it's members.( another clerk laughed it off though)

    She did say it would be spring time that their rental gear would be up for sale.

     

    Wonder what they'd do? Ban you? :grlaf:
