What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[Leo656]

Eh, I make awesome burgers anyway. Way better than HERS! I just don't like being told I *have* to. I want the ILLUSION of choice just like every other American citizen!

[BubblyShell22]

I hear you there, Leo. And I agree that it's just a TV show and it goes on all week, so it's not like she'll miss anything. I've had that damn song from the ads in my head all weekend and it's driving me nuts. Gah!

[Candy Kappa]

I most likely got sunstroke from the wedding I was at on Saturday, which ended with me not getting any sleep last night due to continual bathroom emergencies, and today I had to go to work since no one else could cover for me. It was pretty rough.

[BubblyShell22]

Sorry to hear that, Kappa. That has to be rough.

What grinds my gears: That Dad wanted to do hamburgers instead of us getting something elsewhere like we always do when we go grocery shopping and we found out that Firehouse Subs is now open. I wanted to get one, but Mom said that Dad wanted to do burgers. So Mom and I just went to Steak N' Shake and got four Shooters and two chocolate Cokes because we didn't want to wait on him because he was mowing the damn lawn.

People sitting right next to me chewing gum with their f*cking mouths open. F*CK SAKE.

[Leo656]

I didn't know they had Valley Girls in Australia. Please tell me she was blonde, had a ponytail, and spoke in a lot of "Like, y'knoooow, whatever." I've been dying for that sh*t to come back.

I think lot of folks have that bad habit when it comes to chewing gum. I just blow bubbles instead.

[pennydreadful]

No, it's a dude - there's literally no entertainment to be had in this whatsoever. Just a slobby dude loudly munching on his cud like some sort of baseball-capped bovine retard. Ugh.

[Leo656]

What? Straight guys don't chew gum. And gay guys usually have better manners. What kind of mythical beast is this?

Unless it's Big League Chew. Is it Big League Chew? Ask him for me. That sh*t is the exception. You NEED to stick the whole pouch in your mouth and be really obnoxious about it or it just ruins the whole thing.

Now I want some. Damn it.

I'm sure Bubbles is thrilled.

You are really easily influenced lately, Leo.

Nah. I'd would rather destroy Townsville instead.

I'm afraid I don't follow. It's late, sorry.

Oh wait, I get it now. HAH! You're right. Good call Garth.

Somebody imply a Naked Crisco Twister tournament so I can Like the hell outta THAT idea.

Remind me to educate you sometime in the habits of one of our most irritating forms of wildlife: The Great Australian Bogan.

The subspecies differ in plumage, habitat, and both mating and social behavior depending on which state you're in. My primary field of study has been that of the Boganus Queenslandicus. I'd definitely bow to Proactive's knowledge of the Great Western Bogan, as I've never had the opportunity to view the GWB in its native habitat - but I can attest to the gum chewing of the heterosexual male Boganus Queenslandicus (something of an oxymoron really; the male BQ is never a "pooftah" and any suggestion to the contrary will result in the immediate launch of a full threat display).

[BubblyShell22]

My gear grinder: That my sis just called and said that the first disc in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD case isn't there. That's weird because we ALWAYS put the discs back and we haven't watched these movies in years because they're always on ABC Family and we just watch them then. So I have no idea where the f*ck it could be. So we just said we'll get a new one and they can watch it whenever along with the fourth movie.

I have a feeling they also like to 'deposit' their masticated goo under tables and drop it on walkways. For some reason over here they always pick the red/pink stuff, I'm guessing cinnamon is their go-to flavor.

[pennydreadful]

Bingo. The BQ is notorious for leaving trash, body odor and various other effluvium (see Appendix D, subsection iii: Hawking Globs of Spit; aka Marking Behavior & Casual Public Excretions, aka F*cking Gross) in its wake.

The BQ's flavor of choice is spearmint.

[Leo656]

I'm still laughing at "pooftah".

Is that like the Australian analog to the Americanized variation, the "Homo-Skillet"?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Probably the weirdest gear-grinder of the night, but- well, I just feel so guilty now. I have somehow, unwittingly, decapitated Mikey. Yup, I was relaxing in a hot bath earlier, and while I was sudsing up with my loofah, (it is one of the ones with the Nick TMNT plush heads attached) when the head popped right off, and ended up floating in the tub looking up at me with that adorable smile. The worst part is, I think it was my "assets" that caused it to pop off! Oops.... Now what do I do with the head?

[Leo656]

You So do not want my honest answer to that.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Okay, color me intrigued. But in the interest of keeping this place PG, PM it to me....
