Deer are like this too. I dunno what it is about their biology that causes it, but geese and deer are like pressurized bags of poo poo that go off at the slightest provocation. Kick one, hit one with your car, poke one with a stick, KABOOM and you're cleaning poo poo out of every little crack and corner in a fifty-foot radius.

Never mind the apostrophe, the word should be "passers-by", not "passersbys". The grocer in question probably didn't believe that "passers-by" was already plural.

quote:

NEW YORK–Stopping for lunch at a Manhattan Burger King, New York Times 'On Language' columnist William Safire ordered two "Whoppers Junior" Monday. "A majority of Burger King patrons operate under the fallacious assumption that the plural is 'Whopper Juniors,'" Safire told a woman standing in line behind him. "This, of course, is a grievous grammatical blunder, akin to saying 'passerbys' or, worse yet, the dreaded 'attorney generals.'" Last week, Safire patronized a midtown Taco Bell, ordering "two Big Beef Burritos Supreme."

Ugh, I went out to dinner a couple of weeks ago and the entire family beside our table was just like that. Looked like mom, dad, aunt, uncle, five kids between them, and grandpa; everyone except grandpa spent the entire time staring into their laps and screwing with their iPhone/android/iPad/PSP between poorly aimed bites of food. Grandpa looked dejected for a while then started reading a newspaper with a grouchy expression on his face. :smith:

I bought a Steven Seagal energy drink years ago at an airport because I was exhausted and thought it was hilarious. It stopped being funny when I drank it, most disgusting thing I've ever had.

Doesn't the Asian eXperience one have some kind of caterpillar in it? Or maybe it was a fungus that infects caterpillars. I know there was something to do with caterpillars in Steven Seagal's energy drink.

Incidentally, Seagal is now the official face of the Russian arms industry.



No, I'm not kidding.

My dad loves Steven Seagal, and keeps renting his new movies (they come out every couple of years direct-to-video like clockwork) even though they're invariably terrible. I have been saying for years that he must be deeply in debt to the mob, or something, and they're forcing him to make the movies to pay them back, because there's no possible other explanation for why they keep happening.

This pretty much just confirms it. It wasn't the Italian mob, it was the Russian black-market arms dealers all along.

(He snaps a lot of necks and breaks a lot of bones in his movies for a Buddhist, too)

It was, actually. One of the initiators of the separation was a debate about whether a state had the right to strip incoming immigrants of their personal possessions, if said possessions were legally acquired in another state. Guess what possessions the south was concerned about.

Northeastern Ohio is a little out of the way for that sort of thing, but "man in a suit wearing a cowboy hat" is a totally accepted everyday sight in other parts of the country. In this case it's basically just regional costume. Don't make fun of other people's cultures.

Racist white people just don't want to admit that on the whole white people actually are better off than black people. So they invent things like this to feel hard-done-by. Notice that their solution to inequality isn't to help those on the bottom, it's to invent something that shows that they don't have to help at all cause it's actually already equal didn't you know.

Countdown to someone saying "well, if you don't admit that 'cracker' is as offensive as n-, that's reverse racism :bahgawd: "

It dates back to at least Elizabethan England, when it referred to a braggadocio who talks too much. From King John (Shakespeare): "What cracker is this ... that deafes our ears / With this abundance of superfluous breath?"

The poor Irish and Scottish immigrants down the eastern coast of the USA in the 18th century were called crackers because apparently they bragged about themselves or something.

I thought the joke is that the sign is worded poorly so it seems like they're saying someone who WILL have diarrhea within 14 days of using the pool should not use the pool.

Yeah, that's what I got from the wording too.

Though I also think that "is having active diarrhea" also conjures up the image of someone trying to get into the pool while they're making GBS threads uncontrollably all over the deck.

A friend of mine from college was booted once for parking in the faculty lot (to be fair it was his 5th or 6th such offense) but campus security did such a piss-poor job that he managed to take off the wheel, replaced it with his spare, and just drove off. Kept the booted wheel as a trophy.

The original thread is down, but here's a repost of a legendary VWVortex thread. A guy had a nazi HOA that hired an external security company to give parking tickets, and they booted the guy's own car in front of his house. So, as a gearhead who was planning to do a bunch of engine work on the car anyway, he raised the car up onto rolling dollies, pushed it into his garage, and left it there with the boot still undamaged and attached. Lots of fun ensues when the company starts calling the police on him for "stealing their property", to which he says "come and take it, I don't want it anyway" but they refuse, and the cops respond that since he's not holding the boot against the parking company's will he hasn't done anything wrong. :allears:

Yes, it's confusing when you use two different (mutually exclusive, I might add) pronouns to refer to the same person in one paragraph. It's the same as switching tenses mid sentence.
