Come to think of it 90% of my pet peeves are driving related. I think if I could telecommute it'd be all puppies and lollipops.

First of all, the American people fought and died so we wouldn't have to be governed by that group of inbred semi-retards. Second of all, they're not even really English, they're #$&! Germans.

It's probably a good time to re-read Eikonoklastes.

That's what I'll be doing soon.

And I get similarly pissed off whenever I think about the Royals still being permitted to exist even. Why are they wasting all that goddamn money on those inbred German ingrates?

And whenever I express these thoughts, my wife gets mad at me, which I find even more aggravating.

As opposed to "from here on out"?

Or is it the double-preposition sentence-ending action of which you are not fond?

"From here on out" bothers me less, probably because I've been hearing it as long as I can remember. But there's really no need for either "out" or "in".

I hate all the "new business concepts" that these clowns come up with. Maximizing your synergies with best practices and the new paradigm and all that nonsense. I've become pretty convinced that the folks that come up with that stuff couldn't manager a meat market.

Managing a meat market is probably harder than you think. For starters, you've got to manage an inventory that has a limited shelf life.

Famous Sal Bando quote about Alvin Dark (with whom he did not have a good relationship).

After manager Dick Williams resigned in 1973, the team didn’t take to new manager Alvin Dark with the same respect. In June 1974, after a disappointing loss, Bando commented to the press saying Dark “couldn't manage a meat market."

I remember it as "manager" a meat market.

Anyways:

You can't manage what you can't measure. I'm just saying-- I know how to measure some meat

The category "science fiction and fantasy". I like spaceships and aliens, but wizards and dragons can go fuck themselves.

People who take their dogs into public places with them. And I like dogs.

Since moving into the city and giving up my car (by way of having it stolen, to be specific), and now traveling mostly by walking and biking, there are so many people walking and using their smartphones and not looking where they're going. Crossing streets, cutting in front of bikes, cars. As someone paying attention, its become my job to dodge all these folks. I consider it hedgemony against me and it's time to start slamming into people.
