So, got an ass-grabber kicked out of the mall today.
We have neighbors with an aggressive dog. Their yard is fenced. Our yard is not. They keep the gate closed but there are times when the yardwork people come over when it doesn't always get secured. We keep a 2ft, 3lb branch up on the porch in case the dog gets it into his fool head to get out and chase after our 2yr-old. So far, the rod of Righteous Wrath has yet to descend upon his doggy noggin, but should it ever come to pass, I will 100% blame the neighbors for whatever happens.

Oh geez, that would be so obnoxious. Keep the rod close.
This is my life all summer long, except I live with people who won't let me turn the air down past 75. It probably wouldn't be so bad if I didn't need to close my door for privacy when I game, turning my room into a hotbox of misery and discord.

I said call centers will exist because they are cheap. You took it to mean if cheapness was all that mattered then they wouldn't have existed in the first place which is still a big wtf. We are talking about call centers and how they do exist and why.
That's like having a conversation about hybrids being good for the environment and then saying that if being good for the environment mattered cars wouldnt have existed in the first place.
The main issue may be cheapness but it isn't the only issue.
The people who call into redbox fuck up REDBOX. They are never going to make it through an online forum type thing.
And don't get me started on my other neighbours. Not just their dogs, but my next-door neighbour is one of the most obnoxious jerks EVER!He has this RC boat that he plays with on the lake that just makes THE MOST ANNOYING SOUND IN THE WORLD! And they have THREE dogs, even worse than my other neighbours. And-they-bark-all-the-TIME! And sure the other dog was aggressive but they just got her, my next door neighbours have had these damn dogs for 5 years! It's not hard to believe them being so aggro, since the owners NEVER seem to play with their animals. I may not be a dog owner, but I do know that dogs need the proper atention or else they get vicious.

Ever had a movie idea and then see one with EXACTLY the plot you had in mind? I just saw Insidious (which I'll review in the latest movie thread), and it was EXACTLY the same as a story my brother and I plotted out a few years ago. Even down to the voice on the baby monitor, which is actually where the story started. We were looking at my daughter's monitor while she was napping, and I said, wow it'd be creepy if you heard a voice on that monitor right now.

Just like Yoshis.
The character or me? If both, than yes I agree.Just like Yoshis.
Yes. What's more annoying is when I see million-dollar inventions go that way. Sometimes they're even things I thought up when I was still a pre-teen.

I'm sorry you bit your tongue, but the typo makes it funny. "...and but my tongue...".
An artist friend of mine has had me twice now share her paintings on Facebook to try to help her sell them. I hate using my feed as an advertising ground, particularly if it's something I have nothing to do with, but I couldn't find the courage to just say "No." I've tried encouraging her to spread her work more on her own. I've even tried showing her Halforums hoping she'd set up shop in the art forums. She wants to be taken as a serious professional, but doesn't want to sell to or advertise to complete strangers on the internet yet, because she's "old fashioned." What the f***ity hell does that even mean?
All I can think is that she's acting more like an "Arteest" than she has either the experience or skill to back up any right to.

How is selling things to strangers "Old fashioned"? Selling things to complete strangers is the corner-stone of any capitalistic venture.
Tell her to grow the fuck up.
After the show is done I have to sell stuff in order to recoup my costs.
If she isn't trying to get in galleries, be seen and advertise herself she needs to whore out on etsy. Otherwise it is just a hobby.
I didn't press for clarification because I honestly stopped giving her any serious consideration by that point, but my guess is she views the internet itself as a newfangled thingy used by amateurs, the way the newspaper industry did for years. No REAL arteest would be caught dead using the internet as their primary mode of business.

Not that I don't appreciate the compliment.
Found out why I've been feeling like shit for the past week-and-a-half. I can't believe it's been butter.
Going in for surgery on my shoulder on wednesday, I won't be able to jump for 3-6 months....*le sigh*. On the bright side, after getting back from the bridge, I came home and linked up with some of my friends and jumped my first antenna...280 ft.

Also, that sucks Doc. I know how much jumping means to you.
Wait, didn't we say base jumping was a suicidal hobby or something before? I see no pics with a look of pure terror.
