Speaking of Sarah, she ignores criticism about as well as Jeff Schools does.

Walking up to a urinal, and seeing a guy there with his hands on his hips pulling the "look ma, no hands!" trick. Thanks buddy, I really wanted to see that.

Quote: Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, told the newspaper that the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna. "Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," Ovadia said. Yeah, because Lindsay is such a distinctive name compared to such commonplace names like Oprah and Madonna. There's never been a famous Lindsay ever. Except maybe Lindsay Wagner....or Lindsay Buckingham (Lindsay, man, I made you a promise and I broke it...AGAIN. You gotta forgive me).

You my best friend, Lindsay! Man, that whole show was a freaking riot. The monologue was hilarious, and the skits were very very funny. I especially liked the one where Zach Ganifolxkandefdwecwec showed up on various sets of NBC tv shows, etc.

Low life scumbags. My sister's house was robbed last night and I hope whoever did it rots in hell.

That sucks, Jalbs. We were broken into at the old house, back in 2005 or so. Some drug addict looking for stuff to sell. That's no fun to come home to.

It happened to me back in 1996. The intruder not only took stuff from my wife and I but vandalized things as well.
That's the 3rd break-in in my sister's neigborhood. He or they did quite a bit of damage trying to get in to my sister's house. I'd love to catch him or them...

We had a busted door that had to be replaced, but there was no damage other than that. Luckily, most of my wife's jewelry was recovered more than a year later. Laptop never came back, though.

Sounds like a druggie looking for stuff to steal then sell. Just a smash and grab, no real thought behind it. It's sad when even this state is no longer safe from this kind of stuff (it seems not a day goes by that we don't hear about a robbery either in someone's home or at a business). Shaw's Northgate had an attempted robbery at their pharmacy Monday afternoon, at 2:30 pm. 2:30 PM!!!

Between the Law School and USM there's been, reportedly, about 30 laptops grabbed this year--the most recen one was with other people around and the owner 10 feet away. Seriously not even about the laptop, it's about the semester's worth of work on it that will result in me hunting you down beating you to death in front of you own children if you take it. I honestly take it into the bathroom with me when working on campus just because I am hoping to avoid serving 25 to life.

I have a feeling this was already mentioned somewhere in this thread (maybe even by me), but I hate people who drive at dusk or in the rain/snow and don't have their headlights on. In the rain, it's against state law to use your wipers and not have your headlights on. I wish police would start ticketing people for this offense. I saw nearly a dozen cars with no headlights on just on my 5 mile drive to work today. It might help fill the city's coffers a little, too. Douchebags.

Professors who don't understand the importance of dates of sporting events. Sorry, the implied warranty of merchantability of goods (which I still don't get) is NOT more important than the Sox. Graduate degree my ass.

The War on Drugs. We've got as many people in jail as they do in Russia, we're turning Mexico into a failed narco/terror state, and we haven't put a dent in drug use.
I just got back from Amsterdam, I saw some interesting things, but no one was jumping off of bridges or even playing hackey-sack in public.

Legalize weed and outlaw every type of weapon whose primary function isn't hunting game. I went to the Anne Frank House, and read her book for the first time while I was over there. And I still have a haunting sense of guilt about my simply flying out of Amsterdam compared to her fate after her family was discovered. So I'll add Nazis to the list of things we hate. "Inglorious Basterds" wasn't violent enough, but it is an awesome movie.

It's like the sports gods are collecting on a debt that we owe them or something. In the last year, the Lakers, the Yankees and Duke have all won championships. What's next, Montreal wins the Stanley Cup?

Ah, good ol' Amsterdam. Home of the Heineken Brewery and the Sex Museum. My fondest memory was see a guy on the corner with a sheet saying "Boo" as in, "Will scare you for money". ...and the Anne Frank House. That was pretty memorable as well. Seeing the actual bookcase. It's a very interesting and historic place and a shame it is known worldwide as "Pot City" when there's so much more going on.

People who don't pay the [bleep] attention when they're [bleep] driving. I was almost rear ended yesterday afternoon WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT! I wasn't even moving. How could you not see me? This is the 2nd time in six months I've almost been rear ended by someone who wasn't paying attention.

Linc reminded me of this, but to his credit, he did it the right way. I hate when websites (I'm looking at you, CNN) spoil episodes of tv shows (like 24 in this case) by describing a big development in the headline. The whole article is supposed to be a recap, but in this day and age, many people DVR things and watch them a day or two later. Yet, you go to CNN and right there in the headlines are details of the ep they are reviewing. Why not just have a generic headline like "Recap: Last night's 24" or something? I've got 24 DVR'd, but based on the headline, I already know the big twist in the episode. SCREW YOU CNN!

Time Warner Cable. Those idiots work on one brain cell. My modem crapped the bed yesterday so they came out and replaced it. They left and within minutes I had no phone and no internet. They wouldn't come back out and told me they would have to come back out today. After I erupted like a volcano and got no where I hung up. Today I try to access my email remotely and it tells me my account is deactivated. I call those geniuses back and the rep tells me that the new modem serial number was never entered into the system so that is why nothing was working. 5 minutes later I have everything back. Not one of those morons I dealt with yesterday thought of checking that!!!!! Oh I hate them.

I also hate this trend of combining words into one word. Like "frenemy" or "gaydar" or one I heard the other day called "guycon" (guy icon). To me, it smacks of laziness. The earliest one I can think of is "sportscaster" (sports broadcaster), although I think "Bennifer" is what really kicked off the trend. I won't be disappointed when this fad goes away.
