A Few Good Rants
High Quality (and quatity) Bitching
On Turn Signals..
nothing annoys me more than people who just don't use their turn signals.
it's not like it's some out of the way thing to just click it on before
you decide to slam on brakes and whip around the corner. people like
that make me wanna carry a tire iron and beat windows in.
On Caffeine (the natural stimulant!)..
drink and be merry!
On Blonde English Girls with Ghetto Names..
i love that shit! (thanks Mr. BT) ..and the seven thunders uttered...Cherise-ah!
On Anime..
ok, first off.. they're not cartoons, for goodness sake.. they're
totally awesome movies/ Tv series or whatever.. so many people look
down on something that's animated, but i think Evangelion is one
of the most stimulating features i've seen in a while.. it hits
on all kinds of levels..show some respect :P i suggest Evangelion,
Fushigi Yuugi, Perfect Blue, Record of Lodoss War, Parallel Dual!,
Ruruoni Kenshin, and Samurai X for starters.. and of course, Ninja
Scroll.
On witch hunts..
ok people, let's think about this.. get your info straight before
you go telling whomever you 'allegedly heard' such and such or whatever..
heck, maybe even ASK the person you're accusing.. chances are there's
been some sort of rumor or mixup. taking that extra time to find
out what's REALLY going on can save you alot of trouble later. anything
that starts with "rumor has it.." or "it's been said.."
is usually not true. if you're going on rumors like that and use
them to accuse innocent people.. might as well off yourself with
a sharp piece of glass, because you're not doing the world any good.
On mp3 format..
what genius! a wonderful way to transport media in a small and easily
to handle form.. the sound quality ain't that bad either.. people
can get their tunes out over the internet and get a larger following..
because if it's good.. someone's gonna like it. especially people
who do pre-releases over the net.. what an awesome idea.. get the
music to the people.. and the people will get you back. support
these artists.. they're doing great things for the music field.
On napster..
well what can i say? it's a wonderful method to get some new and
exciting music out to the masses.. granted, there are those who
will 'take the money and run' so to speak, but if you're not, and
you like what you hear.. support the artist! it's not like they've
got some other source of income.. give them some compensation for
their work...
On dungeons and dragons and Satan..
no, it's not the work of the devil.. if you're going out and getting
into character outside the game and thinkin you need to wax so-and-so
because the DM told you so.. well you've got problems.. it has nothing
to do with the game-- you probably need to check into the pyscho
ward.
On gaming in general..
awesome pasttime..seems to get the brunt of crap from the non-gaming
general public.. i guess they just don't understand.. role playing
and gaming is a good exercise of the creative mind and logic as
well..and you meet many interesting people as well. the important
thing is having good players as well as a good GM..the interaction
is what makes it happen.
On merging into traffic..
ok, people, it's really easy.. leave a car-length of space in front
you.. wow.. look at that.. merging is easy! no traffic jams and
stupid people cutting you off at the last moment.. i think if people
realized the one car space rule, there'd be less slow down on the
stinkin freeway..
On roomies..
if you're going to be a roomie, pull your own damn weight. i'm lucky
enough to have one right now that knows what the heck is going on.
clean your shit, i'll clean mine. use my stuff, put it back. refrain
from brining skanky people home at 2 am. ask nicely before you eat
my last ho-ho.. don't leave your damn dishes in the sink and always
remember to pay your share.. being late on bills irks me to no end.
it always helps that we're both up til all hours of the morning
anyways.. and can usually talk about whatever comes up..
On ramen..
everyone should experience this wonder of mankind at sometime during
their life.. the plethora of flavors.. just right when you add a
little tony chacere's.. you can make the water right in your own
coffee maker! how amazing is that? ready in 3-5 minutes.. those
noodles.. the flavor.. so cheap its classic!
On puppets..
You have your hand in a sock. You're making it talk. Therefore,
you have your hand up it's fictional ass. Whatever floats your boat.
I don't hate puppeteers. i hate dollmakers. I hate those fucking
porcelain faced little dolls that don't make any facial expressions
even when they're trying to saw through your tendons with a chunk
of glass and then pour maggots out of their skull when you crush
it with a brick. puppets at least have the benefit of being cute
and expressive. Plus they're usually polyester and respond to flame
better.
On guns..
The Geneva convention is for the Swiss. I think we should use dum
dum rounds on everything. I think everybody's sidearm weapon should
be a light-as-shit titanium submachine gun with double helical clips
of caseless hollowpoint, so as to better express our displeasure.
Or punish the useless.
On breeding..
I'm not doing it. And I'm in the top 15% of the gene pool. I got
looks, smarts, reflexes and I'm shockingly free of psychological
problems (Outside of that urge to kill and eat.) I enjoy the prospect
of creating a hostage of fate that will cost me time, money and
possible sanity like I enjoy the idea of removing my molars with
a band saw. And I consider myself a reponsible adult. Therefore,
the rest of you are like roaches and should be sterilized immediately.
If you've already procreated, you should snuff yourself now.
On cars..
I want a badass car with a dimensional portal to the mass grave
in my backyard where everyone is slowly turning into fossil fuels
so I don't have to stop and fill up as often. It should be bright
red and have a license plate that says COPKLLR. It should have an
inertial supercharger and a stage four turbine, with nitrous injectors.
I want this car to be so deadly that even getting out of first at
the stoplight means I've irrevocably damaged vertebrae in my neck
and I also have to put it in reverse to get out of the storefront.
It should have a aerodynamically shaped bumper with a teflon coated
edge so when I hit Bambi it just ripples across my windshield like
a red shadow instead of crumpling the hood. It should be designed
to explode and fragment when sideswiped. It should also leak plutonium
everywhere, and pour out a noxious cloud of fallout anytime i exceed
88.8 mph. It will come equipped with ELF speakers so as to cause
anyone else in traffic with you to experience irrational terror,
vertigo, nausea, and, with proper soundtrack supporting, even organ
failure. This car should be a harbinger of death. And have fuzzy
dice.
On food..
I hate okra. I can eat anything. but I fucking hate okra. It's like
eating breaded, fried eyes. They don't even taste good. I can't
name a single thing in nature that eats okra. And I bet that even
if I found something that ate okra, I still wouldn't want anything
to do with that food chain. If an evil plague was visited unto okra
by the Bitter Veggie God, my only regret would be that it wouldn't
kill every lunch lady who ever slopped that shit on my plate when
what I wanted was Mac and Cheese.
On sex..
If you're breeding you're wrong! Otherwise, I don't give a shit!
I thank my lucky stars everyday that incest, homosexuality, beastiality,
and autoerotica exist! Hell, for every guy asspounding another or
raping squirrels or diluting his gene pool so badly it'll never
make it, there's at least three girls looking for me. And if I'm
lucky, they're lesbian triplets.
On the internet..
Ah, it's like bringing the phone book up on my TV. informative and
boring as shit, simultaneously. I can only hope that subliminal
messages will soon become standard programming, and people learn
enough household chemistry from it to nerve gas the hell out of
themselves. Or their neighbors. I'd start with the damned yappy
dog downstairs. Cthulhu would appreciate an early snack.
On professional sports..
You know, the day I pay a some asshole several million dollars to
play with a little ball is the same day I commit seppeku with a
halogen lamp.
On tattoos..
Depends on what you look like and where you work. If you're 6'4",
bald, and have a tat that says "I endured the hellish agony
and the dubious honor of a old blind man stabbing me with a inklaced
bamboo needle so I can have a picture of a dragon trying to score
with a mermaid" across your chest and face, you probably shouldn't
be working for IBM. On the other hand, if you have a tattoo of a
happy face or says Jesus loves you, you're either prison sweetmeat
or a homicidal maniac who can afford to be frivolous.
On piercings..
You want piercings? I recommend an eyesocket piercing, complete
with blade and hilt quivering in the left orbit. Let's think about
this shall we? I want to pay somebody money to punch a hole somewhere
in my body so I can stick in shiny things that are only good for
being ripped off painfully or setting off metal detectors. And before
any of you sleazy fucks try to tell me how cool it is to nibble
on a belly button ring, I'd like to inform you I've made this far
in life with perfect teeth, and I'm not fucking them up so I can
send my dentist's kid to Yale.
Soda or pop, boxer or briefs, potato or potatoe?
WTF? Chug your fucking beer, remember that you don't wear underwear
because you're all into "commando style", and turn the
fucking tubers into French fries so you can get on with your pathetic
life! Jeez. Kill yourself.
Music..
Techno. Mostly cause it's not whiny, tends to have really long songs,
and meshs with Disney cartoons better than Floyd did with the Wizard
of Oz. Most other music is alright, although some people still need
to kill themselves before they boost certain record sales.
On religion..
Yea. Once again I find myself NOT giving money to Jesus, because
if he wants it he can come and get it himself. And I'll say "No."
And shut the door and go back to my vodka. I can't respect anyone
who gets nailed to a tree as part of the master plan. Except for
the Vampiric Jesus, who did give his blood to you but now wants
it back.
On correctional facilities..
I think that instead of wasting my money so felons can have air
conditioning and cable TV, and generally being useless while waiting
to die or get ass pounded by their cell mates, anyone who gets sent
to jail and awaits the death penalty should be volunteered for medical
testing. I betcha crime drops like a rock, 'cause I garauntee that
no one wants to knock off a liquor store if it means some psycho
doctor shoots you up with glowing blue stuff "just to see what
it does..."
On serial killers..
Someone once told me that the difference between a hobby and an
interest were that hobbies cost money. Serial killers have a really
expensive hobby. Plus, they always have some sort of hangup about
what they're doing. "I'm pounding nails into your head because
Mommy burned my teddy bear!" "I'm taping you up and pretending
you're a boy because this one time, at band camp,..." Fools!
If you're going to kill people, start somewhere good. Like DC.
On drugs..
Good God, yes!! Over the counter, under the counter, synthesized
stoleninhaledpoppedsnorted rocked, and best of all, free! Not that
i use drugs. I'm sufficiently wired just being me. I think that
certain people need to expirience them, though. At a good, high,
dosage. And nothing friendly either. you should get the full angel
dust psilocylbin methamphetamine cocktail your first time out. It'll
look great on Cops later, footage of some asshole trying to fight
a water tower Don Quixotes style. And then you won't even have to
kill yourself, someone else will do it for you.
On books..
If you can't read, you suck. Even if you can read, and insist on
reading crap, you still suck. If you can't walk into a used bookstore
and look at a random shelf and see a book you've read or an author
you've read, you suck. If, on the other hand, you have memorized
the admittedly complex evolution of affairs and doublecrosses on
poplular teen dramas, you not only suck, but suck so bad that heavy
objects will defy inertia to leap off of shelves and roofs and crush
you.
On Computer games..
If you're going to vegetate, it should be with something that will
cause you to dream obsessively. Any game with truckloads of weaponry
and dark scary places is good. I recommend System Shock and it's
sequel. Yes, I'm a geek. But I also have a real life so fuck you
very much. Altogether now, "Kill...Yourself..."
On arson..
People think lighting gasoline on fire is easy. It's not. Shit like
that only happens when you don't want it to. If you're going to
burn something to the ground, you can't do a halfassed job. Have
some fucking pride! Any fool can walk into a store and buy the neccesary
components to make compounds that burn white hot! And you got to
get all the entrances and windows in such a fashion as to block
them or make them useless for anything but oxygen conduits to feed
the fire. Watch Backdraft for neccesary tips on blowing yourself
up.
On art..
I think the penultimate of self expression and suicidal tendencies
would be to stick both barrels of a 12 gauge shotgun in your mouth
and pull the trigger with the Mona Lisa maybe six steps behind you.
Smile at that, bitch!
On drinking..
I was raised on the cheap shit and therefore don't feel slighted
when I have to drink swill. I'm a cheap drunk and a seventy dollar
bottle of cognac is wasted on me, because I think it tastes like
ass. alcohol's best use seems to getting stupid rednecks to lose
any common sense they might have had and do irrational suicidal
shit. Unfortunately, it also makes them horny and prone to breeding,
so any gain from a loss of life is canceled out by a new litter
of
toothless squalling brats.
On work..
Develop that aura of indifference. Remove the flourescent lights
from around your work area. Leave really cryptic post it notes all
over your desk. Bring reading material from home. Make all your
passwords and logins variations on the word "murder".
Write random essays on the usefulness of deranged cultists, or do
comparison/contrast papers on various exotic and mostly illegal
ammuntion. Save it to your harddrive. Laugh whenever you hear about
postal workers.
On handicapped people..
Man, you think because they're stuck in a wheelchair and have to
take that longass ramp up that they're not dangerous. You got to
get them from the side and knock their punkass over, but sometimes
they have sharp objects hidden in the seat. The worst are the ones
with dogs; dogs can sense intent. I hate being made before I complete
my quest. Course, dogs suffer from allergy: bricks. And blind people
can't dodge. Handicapped people are exempt from killing themselves
because they've already proved they're too hardy or lucky to die.
Plus they tie up other peoples resources so people pay less attention
to what I'm doing....
On Names..
Having leafed through a baby book of names and seeing the table
of "This generation's most popular names for children"
within it, and seeing the monikers you people heap on a defenseless
fetus, it brings me back to my original theory that most of you
need to be killing yourselves or removing yourself from the gene
pool. They're not as bad as Dweezil or Elmer or Thelma, but these
are the people who grow up and bring their Uzi to work. Not that
there's anything wrong with that, but if some poor bastard tries
to machine gun me for a lameass reason like that, his torment will
never end. And when I get tired of the ants and the Yoko Ono remixes
and the bamboo shoots, I'll just find somebody to shit in their
lungs.
