Oh yea, I've got a real chip on my shoulder. Most people find the fixation of some adults on the subjects mentioned above to be strange. If you want to spend your time playing G-rated video games or dressing up as comic book characters, that's fine, that's your business but at the same time, if I want to say you look like a fucking loser in your Power Ranger costume, I can.

Geez grandpa, live a little.

Geez grandpa, live a little.

I think we're interpreting the meaning of the word 'live' differently.

Re: Open Threads

People live their lives differently, and hopefully participate in activities that bring them a certain amount of joy. Short of harming another person, let people be people. If you're so confident that your way of life is better than theirs, then please smugly enjoy yourself in your own head.

32-foot city bus? That's really small. WTF?

 

[kz1000ps]

Ya, everyone knows you go 40 feet or go home.

It's not the length but the girth

Fool, transit busses only come in 8 foot widths. EVERYONE knows that.

 

[datadyne007]

Well... this conversation got weird.

Not if these buses come into fruition!

Besides, there's also height!

LOL I'm just playing, although I am an ex-bus nerd and so I do know for sure that 40' x 8' is the standard size for most types of busses...school, city, coach.

It's hard to convey sarcasm in plain text. I was just joking. =P

 

[kz1000ps]

Ahhh of course. Double sarcasm fail!

How ever do the English do dry humour on the interwebs?

The Eiffel Tower served as a billboard for Citroën from 1925 to 1934.

Need help figuring out where to live this September? No worries, just ask yourself whether you're wearing a polo shirt or not (and of course you are).

I wear polos. Hate when people know who I am (and publically acknowledge it) at places I go to often. Think tourists (and suburbanites) suck and I hate parades.... I'm a man without a neighborhood apparently.... Or just a New Englander.

Shockingly the Dropkick Murphys will be playing opening day. Does anyone else think Boston is due for a new house band, and if so, who?

[datadyne007]

I really don't like the Dropkick Murphys. I find their music obnoxious. I was sick of them years ago.

 

[393b40]

Not a fan of Dropkick Murphy's either. I really hate the song Tessie.
