rant

In the blogosphere a rant refers to highly derogatory or critical comments regarding a specific issue or subject. A rant is usually quite subjective in nature, and can be about just about anything — from a rant against big government to TV coverage of the Olympics. You can find sports related rants at Bleacher Report or movie related rants at Cinematical.

You will find commentary on another rant at Gawker and may find a rant or two in the comments on just about any blog posting. A tirade against rants would be a rant itself.

• Flanders’ rants

  
  — Authority:
  Disclaimer: This page on my blog is intended to act as a repository for rants. I’ll be the first to admit that these rants (by their very nature) are *not* well thought out and intended more as a place for me to vent about what frustrates me. The point in posting these rants is that at some stage (once I am a bit ...

• INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US: Batgirl Brings It in New Trailer

  
  — Authority:
  Youd think all the hullabaloo (yep) would be about how damn cool Batgirl (Babs for short) appears to play. Instead, what weve gotten is a ton of negativity and frankly whining about the DLC character selection and how Batman has taken over the game.  Lets address those.  Batman Sells Batman is the best selling ...

• Mashed post.

  
  — Authority:
  Note:  Make sure you read yesterday’s post, too.  It’s chock full of fun. Scroll on down to where it says “amiable old man showing a Star Trek tractor beam in action”.  Now, “tractor beam” is total BS and has nothing to do with localized magnetic domains on a macro-scale.  Just enjoy the video.  Super ...

  TALK TO THE HUMP — Authority: 125
  Let me paraphrase Shakespeare to explain my lovely creation above: Methinks the government doth profess too much. I have to say that I have been extremely annoyed with the sales pitch at feverish levels for quite some time. Endless TV ads, the giant signs that go up (and stay up for a long time) at sites where ...

• Today’s Thoughts

  
  — Authority:
  Some days are worse than others. Often I feel a need to create. To create anything, a sketch, a poem, a note. What it is does not matter. Simply the need. It is always there with me. Sometimes just a gentle scratch on the roof of my mouth, but I’m not always so fortunate, it is not always so subtle. Like a frozen ...

  Gather around my fellow ectomorphs. I have something to say about weight training. My belief is that our goals got mixed up when we starting following the bad advice of genetically gifted mesomorphic fitness trainers. We forgot why we started lifting weights. I’m going to speak for myself, but I pretty sure I’m ...

  I just heard about a 105-year-old woman in Texas who says her secret is that she eats bacon every day .  I don’t know if that will stand up to medical scrutiny, but it’s worth something. The article reveals her bacon “secret”, which should be enough for the whole article.  But then it talks about her ...
