SHOUTING THREAD!! →[More:]

THE FUN HELPFUL AND COMPETENT IT CHICK I ADORED LEFT THE COMPANY LAST MONTH AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BY AN ARROGANT SURLY SEMI-COMPETENT BOY. PLEASE GO AWAY, SURLY BOY, THIS BOX JUST GOT REFRESHED AND I DON'T WANT YOUR SO-CALLED UPDATES. LAST TIME YOU TOUCHED MY BOSS' PC IT WENT TITS UP FOR SIX HOURS AND WHILE IT WAS HIGHLY AMUSING TO WATCH YOU FLAIL THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE AND NOT HAVING INTERTUBES MAKES BOSS GUY CRANKY.

I GOT ATTACKED BY INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH MOSQUITOES LAST NIGHT AND I NOW HAVE LARGE ANGRY ITCH-INFESTED WELTS ON THE BACKS OF MY KNEES AND THEY'RE DRIVING ME CRAAAAAAZZZZYYY!!! THEY'RE SO ITCHY I MAY ACTUALLY GO ON A REAL LIVE NINJA FREAK0UT ITCHY RACING SPREE LIKE THE CAT DOES. AND I CAN'T TAKE BENADRYL, IT MAKES ME HURL!

SICK TO DEATH OF POLITICS SHIT AND EVERYONE FROM EVERY CAMP WHO FEELS EVERY LAST FOIBLE AND BELCH MUST BE OF SUCH EARTH-SHATTERING SIGNIFICANCE THAT IT MUST BE DISCUSSED AD NAUSEAM TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL ELSE! NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN GALVESTON? I HAVE FRIENDS THERE WHOM I CANNOT REACH. AND WHILE EVERYONE ELSE BLATHERS ON ABOUT SOME DUMBASS GETTING ROLLED BY A PROSTITUTE, IT APPEARS THAT A MEDIUM-SIZED CITY HAS DROWNED!

MY WIFE JUST FORWARDED AN IRS PHISHING EMAIL TO ME ASKING ME TO HELP HER GET THE $620.50 THAT THEY OWE HER. WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE I DO THE TAXES BUT SHE WAS SURE THAT I HAD NEGLECTED TO DO SOMETHING OR MADE A MISTAKE. WITH SOME CARE (GOOGLED THE URL PROVIDED AND IT TURNED UP ON ANY NUMBER OF PHISHING-WARNING SITES), I DETERMINED THAT THE "OFFICIAL" IRS FORM PROVIDED ASKED A CREDIT CARD #, PIN #, and THE SECURITY CODE # ON THE BACK, ALONG WITH HER SSN.

A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT PHISHING ENSUED. SHE STILL HALF-BELIEVES THAT I BLEW IT ON THE TAXES AND THERE IS MONEY THEY OWE US.

THE DOWNSTAIRS PHOTOSTUDIO HAS A SUPER LOUD, ELECTRONIC DING-DONG DOOR ALARM THAT EVERY KID FEELS THE NEED TO SET OFF CONSTANTLY. I WOULD LIKE TO BREAK IT. RIGHT NOW. BREAK! BREAK! SMASH!

OTHERWISE I AM FEELING VERY CONTENT BECAUSE I ATE 2 BITES OF A CHEESEBOARD DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE WITH MILK (eating any sugary thing is an Occasion.)

WELL IKE DIDN'T TOUCH US BUT WE MANAGED TO GET A 100 YEAR RAIN ANYWAY. I LIVE ON A HILL SO I DIDN'T GET FLOODED, BUT I THINK SOMETHING DIED UNDER MY DAMN HOUSE SO NOW I HAVE TO GET SOMEONE DOWN THERE TO GET IT OUT. GOD IT STINKS SO BAAAAD!

AND OLDER BOY IS TERRORIZING HIS AFTERSCHOOL CARE SO HE HAS TO GO TO A PROGRAM FOR KIDS WITH 'BEHAVIOR ISSUES'. IT SOUNDS GREAT BUT BUSING MAY NOT START TIL NEXT WEEK. HE STARTS THIS THURSDAY. SO I'VE GOT TO TAKE HIM OR PAY FOR SOMETHING I'M NOT USING FOR A WEEK. IF I HAD TIME TO DO THAT HE WOULDN'T NEED THE FRIGGING AFTER SCHOOL CARE.

AND OMG THE PEOPLE AT WORK ARE PISSING ME OFF WITH THEIR GAMES. TOO MANY TO LIST.

JAN WE EXPERIENCED AN ATTACK OF HUNDREDS OF TINY, WHITE, MAGGOTTY-LOOKING PARATROOPING INCHWORMS AT THE SAME PICNIC YESTERDAY WHERE I WAS NEARLY EATEN ALIVE BY MOSQUITO STEALTH FORCES. THESE MAY, IN FACT, BE THE SAME CREATURES THAT INFESTED YOUR HAIR! THEY STORMED OUR SANDWICHES FROM THE ADJACENT COTTONWOOD TREES ON A ZILLION TINY SILKEN ZIPLINES AND THE IMMEDIATE EFFECT WAS MILD PANIC, SHRIEKING NOISES AND A PROFOUND LOSS OF APPETITE!

IT HAD BEEN SUCH A MOST EXCELLENT PICNIC, TOO. SADLY THE AGGRESSIVE DEPLOYMENT OF HOSTILE SESQUIPEDALIAN AIRSTRIKES FORCED A RETREAT IN DISARRAY!

"SESQUIPEDALIAN"

ok that is a really fine word and not one that you see too often. I admire anyone who can use such a word in a sentence.

OMG, I GET TO SEE THE END OF PRAUS? OSSEM.
JAN HAS GIVEN ME A FLASHBACK TO WALKING DOWN A SUBURBAN CORRIDOR OF TREE LINED STREETS DURING INCH WORM SEASON.
I AM CONTEMPLATING SENDING THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO SOMEONE:
ONCE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A GOOD PERSON INSIDE YOU, BUT NOW I REALIZE THAT COULD ONLY BE POSSIBLE IF YOU ATE HIM, IN WHICH CASE NOW YOU ARE MERELY FULL OF POO.

HEY SCHOOL BOARD AND TEACHER'S UNION, CAN YOU AT LEAST PRETEND YOU'RE TRYING TO HAMMER OUT AN AGREEMENT? MEETING FOR AN HOUR THEN SLINGING DIRT AT ONE ANOTHER IS NOT SOLVING A DAMN THING. THERE IS AMPLE MIDDLE GROUND. START MOVING TOWARD IT.
