Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

I'm in a real dilemma. The nearest all-around gym is .7 miles away, but there's a crossfit place only .2 miles away. Considering I have to get to the gym by foot, I may have to become a crossfitter, which is a distinction I've been pretty keen to avoid. If I get the gym membership at the normal place, I just know I'll end up not using it as much as I need to because I'll be too lazy to make the trek. But again, the place near me is for CROSSFIT, which seems to be the preferred exercise routine of people who high five each other without irony. On the bright side, I'll likely get in ******* awesome shape. On the not so bright side again, I'm gonna be pissed if good health and muscle mass causes a suit to no longer fit.


Wut.
To.
Du.

There does not exist a scenario here where you do not get pissed off, as getting pissed off, is simply what you do.

There are only a few things worse than being a styleforumer. One of them is being a crossfitter


Would this be a case where a double negative could equal a positive?

Where the **** do you live that people talk like this? It's a recurring theme of yours... seems you reside somewhere the locals do not consistently speak English.

The people who took my order at Smashburger were not native English speakers.

As regards "panties" (word I dislike so I try to neutralize it by putting it between quotation marks), there is significant variation, both by region and by generation, in the pronunciation of the letter a. I try to capture those differences by writing letters into the comment box (no audio component of SF). If your pronunciation of the letter is different than mine, then you probably won't make sense of my alternate spellings. (I say the letter a in something like the way a native Wisconsinite who hasn't lived there for fifteen years would say it.) When I write "ah" I mean something like the a in "father." When I write "uh" I mean an ugly sound made by young people whose parents are academics or artists of some sort.

my wife and i made the mistake of buying halloween candy early, and also buying stuff we like.

watching the extremely stressful/entertaining world series game the bag of hershey's chocolates with almonds was open within the 2nd inning and half the bag was gone before the 7th inning stretch.


Made that mistake last year :happy: We're going to wait until like 4pm on Halloween this year, I have no self control around candy. I just don't buy the stuff, it's impossible to resist.

So, you're getting your panties in a bunch over panties?

Here's another thing just occurred to me: today on the airplane, there were some women a row behind me talking about panties. I hate the goddamn word "panties." Some people pronounce it as "pahnties," and others pronounce it more like "puhnties." But ain't matter how anyone pronounces it, I hate the word and don't want to hear people saying it.


I prefer to call them "gift wrappers." Been saying that for awhile now.

People in the office who talk about nothing but football. Literally, NOTHING. I like football. In fact, I love football, but please shut the...

I could not find cocktail glasses at a Walmart the other day; however, they did have machetes so I bought 3 of them. I thought I was able to cut down trees with them but I found out I only cut down weeds.

Frances Ha, I didn't go to the trouble of illegally downloading you so that you could display a media player error on me.
