• Fruit Pet Peeves

  
  Fear and Loathing In Georgetown — Authority: 530
  The other day FLG was pissed about Asian and Bosc pear confusion. Today, he is mildly perturbed by this: Now there’s certainly a longstanding Christian mythic tradition of imagining the wood of the Cross on which Jesus was executed as being from (or the same as) the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in The ...

• At the risk of stating the obvious: well, duh

  
  Author! Author! — Authority: 122
  Is everybody enjoying our ongoing self-editing series? Or, if enjoy doesn’t precisely capture the emotion current swelling your breast at the prospect of another installment of it, may I at least assume that everyone’s been learning a little something each time? As I mentioned in passing last time, the art of ...

• Winter Pet Peeves

  
  On the Fringe — Authority: 123
  Now that winter has more or less arrived, I am starting to remember all the little pet peeves I have with respect to winters in Linyi. I share these with you as an insight into the cultural differences between semi-rural Chinese and a somewhat-spoiled girl from the US. 1. The Need for “Fresh Air” Fresh air and ...

  PetSugar — Authority: 599
  This post comes to us from the Pet Peeves group from member Smacks83 . Ok, so in a few months Im going to be moving with my boyfriend to our own apartment (right now, we both live at home). I know right off the bat there is this one Pit Bull at a rescue that I am planning to try to adopt (2 or 3-year-old fixed ...

• Getting out of your protagonist’s head and into the — text?

  
  Author! Author! — Authority: 122
  Sorry about the sporadic posts of late, campers — the Grumpy Relative’s health woes continue, and I’ve been trying to spend as much time with GR as humanly possible of late. Turns out that keyboards are surprisingly noisy when someone is trying to sleep. Tonight, though, I may bang on the keys as much as I ...

• Please deposit nine quarters...

  
  The Jannaverse — Authority: 127
  hSince my dryer broke, Ive had to spend time at the laundromat. Please feel free to weep for me and send me pity. (Or cookies. Your choice.) Maybe I should just consider it to be a delightful challenge. After all, if I cant pass myself off as normal THERE, theres really no hope for me. Assorted thoughts from ...

• Out Out, damned (blind) spot

  
  Jim Kenzie's The Driver's Seat — Authority: 123
  I almost got creamed on the 401 eastbound near McCowan Road on Friday, by a gold-coloured Pontiac Montana minivan whose driver clearly didnt have his/her mirrors adjusted properly (all I could tell was that the driver was very short; gender was indeterminable). How could I tell the mirrors were wrong? Because as I ...

• Glaciers Growing in France, Switzerland, and Washington: Will Media Care? (June 2007)

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  One of the pet peeves of anthropogenic global warming skeptics is how the media and climate change alarmists like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore only address events supporting that which they conflate and abuse data to prove. A perfect example is the discussion concerning receding glaciers, as these folks will either ignore ...

• Need a Back Rub? Wait Until Monday, Please.

  
  Just Humor Me — Authority: 119
  I have one more pet peeve to vent about. It’s not a super important one, because it doesn’t come up much anymore, but it used to and when it did, boy, was I annoyed. When we lived in Lexington, I noticed a marked increase in the people I saw who rubbed each others’ backs in public places. Most often in church. ...

• And the air smells so much fresher now

  
  The Jannaverse — Authority: 127
  Ive been getting increasingly annoyed with Entrecard these past few months, so today I deleted it from the Jannaverse and Jantics. Sorry if this inconveniences any of you out there who were ultra-dedicated droppers. Its still over on Jantrails , for the time being. .

• Kendra Wilkinson Shows Off The Baby Nursery

  
  Knocked Up Celebs — Authority: 566
  Kendra Wilkinson is headed for the home stretch with her pregnancy. And by the looks of it Kendra and Hank Baskett are uber prepared. I found these scans from the December 7th issue of US Magazine and had to share them. Besides showing off her nursery she also talks about her pet peeves and how much weight ...

• Taser Facebook Pages: Well-Scrubbed Parallel Reality

  
  All About Race — Authority: 492
  If you only got your information about Taser from it’s several Facebook pages or blog , you would think that there was universal enthusiasm for this 50,000 volt forced compliance weapon. The glowing praise expressed in chatty accolades would be appropriate to discussions of the latest iphone iteration or Droid ...

• Golf Pet Peeve #10: Pre-Shot Routine Guy

  
  Game Under Repair by Robert Bruce — Authority: 113
  The frustrations of playing with Pre-Shot Routine Guy can be summarized in one sentence: Will you just hit the freaking shot? It’s not that Pre-Shot Routine Guy has a pre-shot routine. Most decent golfers have one. The problem with Pre-Shot Routine Guy is that he worships the pre-shot routine—so much so ...

  Author! Author! — Authority: 122
  Before I launch into today’s musings, here’s a heads-up for Washington writers: applications are due December 7 for the 2010 EDGE Program for Writers , sponsored by the Artist Trust . Designed to help working writers at all levels of their careers expand their professional acumen, the EDGE program provides six ...

• Chafing at Charity

  
  Average Buyer — Authority: 104
  This time of year I find myself thinking a lot about needs versus wants. Two things set me on this train of thought. The first, was the FHA loan limit for the Sac Metro area, and the second, a wish list item for a needy family. Let me make a couple observations before I get back to this. In theory there are very few ...

• Five of My Pet Peeves

  
  Authspot — Authority: 560
  These are just few of the pet peeves that I have. 1) People who smoke. I really don’t like people who smoke, especially when they are smoking at a smoking free zone! It’s a smoking-free zone for a reason! I hate the smell like I can’t stand it and I will show that I don’t like the smell of it to the person ...

• the Christmas police

  
  The Short Years — Authority: 417
  I am firm about Christmas and its rightful place in the seasonal calendar. Christmas decorations, recipes , music , movies, and all other general forms of holiday merriment can (and should) be enjoyed to the utmost during the month of December. However, breaking them out before Thanksgiving not only undermines ...

• Lowering The Bar

  
  Debsweb — Authority: 122
  What kind of creep do you have to be to break in to a familys home three days after they were killed in a car crash?  Its bad enough that the parents and two kids were broadsided by a drunk driver who ran a red light at seventy miles an hour as they were returning from a family vacation in Hawaii, but it takes a ...

• Thats It, Ive Had It. Enough With the Neverending 2012 Speculating. Its 2009 For Fuxake!

  
  Library Grape — Authority: 478
  I dont know why it just dawned on me but I am really freaking irritated that so much of the chattering classes time is being spent endlessly nibbling at the speculation apple over which Republican douchebiscuit is jockeying most effectively for a 2012 nomination. Its 2009 for fucks sake! Do I seriously have to ...

• Black Newspaper Publishes Racist Cartoon of Black Legislator

  
  All About Race — Authority: 492
  We have Nina Turner, a black politician, being caricatured as Aunt Jemima in a black newspaper, the Call & Post. Why? Because she disagreed with them on some legislation. Unacceptable in my opinion and the good news is, I think, most black folks are fed up with this kind of silencing tactic as well. Read ...
