Things That Annoy You

[Veras]

It is time for the NFL Draft to be over.  I'm a huge football fan, and I always look forward to the Draft, but its two weeks later this year, and I'm over it.  This is especially true because my team doesn't even have a first round pick this year--they traded it for a running back who can't advance out of a hotel elevator before the doors close.

Veras, you know that's satire right?

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

The superiority evident in these posts must be somewhat blunted by the fact that Canadians use batshit pronounciations for everything.

I'll stick to "Kwuh Beck", the way God intended. At least "Tor-on-toe" is phonetic; I feel bad for the kid in the spelling bee that has to spell "Chrono".

Anglophones are only superior about gay marriage and health care. Francophones are probably holding a referendum over "Kwuh Beck", though.

Yes, very good satire.

Quebec was also by far the last province to do things like grant women the right to vote in provincial elections.

I was going to shit talk about that, but then I remembered that I live in Alberta, and... well, you know.

Alberta: It's like if the US were always run by the Republicans, except every half a century or so we boot them out and replace them with the Tea Party. The Democratic Party occasionally picks up enough seats to get to say one sentence in the legislature each year.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Toned down Republicans, but yeah, that's pretty much it.

Funny thing is, Albertans vote the way they do mostly because of the abject terror they experience when faced with the possibility of change, regardless of which political direction it leans toward. Even the chance of the Wild Rose party gaining power had a higher than normal turnout of conservatives, liberals and centrists alike rushing out to vote PC just to keep things the way they are. The oil dudes, a good chunk of Calgary SW & a few pilgrims from Montana were excited about Wild Rose, but everyone else saw it as the end of the world.

When change actually happens, Alberta whines and stomps its feet for a few months until it becomes obvious that nothing bad is going to happen, and promptly goes back to being apolitical until the next whiff of change comes around to start the whole thing all over again.

Okay, now I understand even more your very effusive compliment to me for a post I made last year, about conservatives who admire and claim genetic kinship to Neanderthals.

I'm getting sick of all these 90s kids insisting it was the best decade to be alive?  Yeah, remember Waco?  The Oklahoma City Bombing?  The Yugoslav Wars?  The Rwandan Genocide?  Columbine?  Somali refugees?  Jeffery Dahmer?  The LA riots?

[RavynousHunter]

Yeah, but we also had the best music.  80's hair metal can go straight to hell.

[Ultimate Paragon]

The decade also had some unbearably shitty music.  You probably just don't remember it.

90s was great for alternative rock, but popular music in general was pretty awful.

Exhibit A: "New Kids on the Block had a lot of hits, Chinese food makes me sick, and I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer..."

Also, Liquid Dreams. 'nuff said.
