Ghahhahah! I saw a car the other day that had a Bush/Cheney sticker on one side and a 'I do what the voices in my head tell me' sticker on the other. I laughed so hard I almost slammed into them.

No wonder Zen, the sticker does make it look kind of fun.
It looks more like wheeee!!!! Than Aaaaaah!!
Maybe the sticker means: don't look like you are having so much fun when you do this?

Today my new stupids are people with "baby on board" stickers on their cars who drive recklessly.

I'm not over-fond of "baby on board" - like a reckless driver gives a toot. But women (exclusively in my experience) who are so consumed by the mundane school run that they endanger their children, themselves, pedestrians and other road users just beggar belief.

This morning a woman stuck in traffic on the opposite side of the road saw a chance as an HGV powered up to pull forward in traffic. No signal, no reasonable assumption she would be pulling over, just screeech into the school entrance. And she blasted her horn at me - ME! the most traffic aware pedestrian in the WORLD since I was hit! - because I was crossing the entrance at the time.

I wanted to go and knock on her wondow and have a word. I settled for raised eyebrows and walking at my previous pace rather than scuttling like a frightened rabbit. I had right of way, which I doubt she knew - I was crossing BEFORE she signalled (which she never did). She's lucky I'm not still there :p

You should have 'had a word' with her Sundae. People like that are just too stupid to breath.

Anyone who buys the "I left them for you" line.
Even if the person saying it believes it (which they don't) the basis of your entire relationship is that you are with a hobag who trades-up...

Terrence Howard.

Though, maybe "mentally ill" is more appropriate.

Quote:

He continued to love himself by buying scissors, wire, magnets and vast numbers of sheets of plastic. He had a theory. It might seem crazy, it may even be crazy, but a long time ago he'd gotten hold of this notion that one times one doesn't equal one, but two. He began writing down his logic, in a language of his own devising that he calls Terryology. He wrote forward and backward, with both his right and left hands, sometimes using symbols he made up that look foreign, if not alien, to keep his ideas secret until they could be patented. In 2013, he got married again, to an L.A. restaurateur named Mira Pak, and the two would spend up to 17 hours a day cutting shapes out of the plastic and joining them together into various objects meant to demonstrate not only his one-times-one theory but many others as well.

I don't know wtf this video is actually about, but, it seems to involve how to make fire. Starting at 4 minutes in, the gentleman has just filled a 'forever match'-type lighter with fuel and is about to strike it rich stupid.

The gas pump thing was stupid, but it was just one instance of stupidity. Momentarily not thinking.

The guy playing with fire starter at his computer just makes one stupid decision after another. It's painful to watch. The sheer stupidity.

My local bus company must employ the dumbest fuck's in the whole of Scotland, and the scary thing is I have to use the service, and put my life into their drivers hands.
Conversation with driver after enquiring about a missing bus.
Me "what happened to the 17.19 bus that was due before you?
Him "Oh did it not come then?
Me "well would we have been having this conversation if it had"?
Him "Well you might have missed it
Me "That's why I'm asking what happened to it?

I them went to my seat completely confused :eyebrow:

glatt 10-10-2015 07:13 AM

So you missed a bus, either because it was early, or it never came, or maybe even because you were late. And the next bus was on time so you got on and wanted to complain to that driver about something he can't possibly have any knowledge or control over, but he wouldn't engage in your conversation to your liking. So he's stupid.

I don't see it.

DanaC 10-10-2015 07:25 AM

I've had that exact conversation. Out of sheer fucking frustration as yet another bus vanishes from the schedule. You stand there at the bus stop watching the electronic updates - and it says '508 Leeds 7 mins' - then '508 Leeds 3 minutes' - '508 Leeds Due' - ........................... '508 Leeds 29 mins'


Fuuuuuuuuuck!!!!

Sundae 10-10-2015 10:10 AM

Perhaps public transport issues are a particularly British issue.
Because we rely on them to such an extent, it doesn't take much to make us mad as hell.

When my bus was running late this week I completely freaked out. Not to the driver, but I had trouble holding things together. Okay, extenuating circumstances - money issues, a connecting coach to catch, non-refundable coach ticket, mother going into hospital and relying on me to be there when I said I would, being a complete nutter.

But after I stopped crying I did secretly send death rays into the heads of everyone who got on and questioned the driver as to why the bus was late.
I wanted to scream at them for holding us up even further!

This is neither against or in support of Be-Bop or Glatt.
I suppose I'm just saying that buses are hell-wagons laden with grief, but also that it's easy to slightly exaggerate.

What, you think that guy was just hired to drive the bus?
Nay nay, he is the company rep, the public's face of the whole transportation system, the sales force, the PR contact, the information booth, and the complaint department. He represents THE QUEEN, goddamnit. http://cellar.org/2014/willy_nilly.gif

be-bop 10-10-2015 02:19 PM

I'm very rarely late for buses because there are only 2 buses per hour . the drivers are in constant radio contact you can hear the control room chatter on all the busses when you're on them
I was only asking what had happened like a breakdown some reason as to why yet again there was no bus service.
I thought the driver might have known. More fool me to ask, public transport in the UK is a joke time tables are changed on a whim, services cancelled for spurious reasons,so much for private bus company's, even the local council who gives out the tenders are reported to be unhappy at this company.
We can't afford two cars otherwise I'd never be on a bus but my wife needs our car for her work

That would work real good.

sexobon 10-11-2015 08:11 AM

Something like that was my second vehicle for awhile. Rode it year-round. Wasn't easy finding snow tires for it though.

xoxoxoBruce 10-11-2015 09:27 AM

You only needed snow tires because it was "something like that", which is not that Vincent.

Griff 10-12-2015 07:17 AM

I thought Del McCoury wrote that, but Thompson did. There are some great covers out there.


xoxoxoBruce 10-12-2015 10:03 AM

Everyone covered Thompson's songs, as he is England's 'slow hand'. ;)

lumberjim 10-12-2015 12:24 PM

this song just (18 minutes ago) came up in my Discover Weekly playlist on spotify (a weekly 30 ish song playlist that they think you'll like based on what you've listened to) I had not listened to this song on Spotify. I wonder if they share info with youtube... or is this just a coincidence? The version is by Richard Thompson from the Rumor and Sigh album.

xoxoxoBruce 10-12-2015 01:12 PM

I first was attracted the Thompson when I heard a song called "Shoot Out The Lights", about the time my divorce was turning nasty. Turns out it was from an album of the same name and the last album he and Linda made together. She was beautiful, talented, sang like an angel, but suffered crippling stage fright, even after several hit albums/tours.

Like Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", it was produced during the turmoil of the breakup, and the tension comes through.
The songs and their order on the album are a clue.
1."Don't Renege on Our Love"
2."Walking on a Wire"
3."Man in Need"
4."Just the Motion"
5."Shoot Out the Lights"
6."Back Street Slide"
7."Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?"
8."Wall of Death

That album spurred me to buy over a dozen of his albums.
Bookmark this post as an good example of thread drift. :haha:

DanaC 10-12-2015 03:02 PM

I love Thompson. 'Gypsy Love Songs' and 'Waltzing's for Dreamers' are two of my favourites of his songs.That whole album really got under my skin though I didn't get into it when it was released. I think it was around 1995 when I discovered it. I'd heard of Thompson before that but didn't know his work particularly.

Man tries to put out garbage fire by driving over it in a van loaded with ammunition
A Clay County sheriff’s deputy retreated to a safe distance from a van burning in a field Tuesday afternoon after he heard the sound of live ammunition going off inside it. The deputy found the van burning near Old State Highway 210 and Bluff Road, south of Liberty, about 2:30 p.m., said Jon Bazzano, a spokesman for the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy had been in the middle of a traffic stop when he saw black smoke on the horizon and headed that way to investigate.

Eventually, the deputy found the owner of the vehicle watching the fire from a distance. The deputy learned that the owner had been burning garbage in the field and accidentally let the fire get out of control. In an attempt to put the fire out, he drove his van back and forth over the flames.

This made matters worse, as the tires of the van caught fire. Realizing that the van was loaded with firearms ammunition and a full tank of gas, the driver evacuated the area for safety.
