I don't think she's bugged by the explitives, it probably more the personal info. Like when you mentioned the exact times you go potty every day. I for one cannot help but imagine you getting up from your desk at 1:30 PST, and then start expecting some humorous newspaper link about 20-25 minutes later.

Of course, thanks to Less, we all became just a bit more graphic in our workplace descriptions.

Thankfully, it's been awhile since I felt the need to say "the judge just skullfucked me".

Funniest thing I've read this week is an op-ed piece in the Onion, written by CEO of Gillette, called "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades." http://www.theonion.com/opinion.php?i=1&o=1

"All we have to do is put her out there with a little jingle. It's as easy as, "Hey, shaving with anything less than five blades is like scraping your beard off with a dull hatchet." Or "You'll be so smooth, I could snort lines off of your chin." Try "Your neck is going to be so friggin' soft, someone's gonna walk up and tie a goddamn Cub Scout kerchief under it.""

Thank you for linking to the only thing that has been able (albeit briefly) lift the cloud of crushing depression I have been under all week.

My personal favorite passage? The following:

"I'm telling them to stick two more blades in there. I don't care how. Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!

You're taking the "safety" part of "safety razor" too literally, grandma."

This board doesn't have nearly enough hate on it lately (the celebrity death pool is morbid, but not hate-y enough) so I'm going to share some of my hatred with all of you because I'm benelovent like that.

I hate hate hate vanity plates and the people who own them. They are stupid (the people and the plates). I don't know a single person with a vanity plate that isn't 1) an asshole 2) insecure or 3) annoying as shit.

My friend got upset when I told her how much I hate people who have vanity plates and started explaing to me that they are not really bad b/c she had one when she was a teenager and it had her pets' names on it! awwwww. That didn't make me hate vanity plate owners any less, but I lost almost all respect for my friend. Seriously, what the hell does a person need to communicate on license plate? What is so godawful important that you are willing to pay money to tell every random driver on the street about? If you're advertising your business, whatever, it's still stupid but at least there's kind of a point. But why does someone who drives a "68 Volkswagon need a license plate that says "MY 68 BUG"?. Jesus Christ.

So, how many people on this board did I just call stupid?

I had vanity plates from 1987-1993.

The first set had my nickname from college.

The second set referred specifically to what I did for a living at the time (and I was living in LA at the time, where almost everyone has vanity tags).

But it is true that during that six year period, I was 1) an asshoel, 2) insecure and 3) annoying as shit.

So I agree that I think that most people will say that you are mainly correct in your hating of vanity tags.

Yes, they are stupid. Why would you want a plate that some random stranger can remember easily? If I were to get a vanity plate, it would have the letter "O" and the number zero interleaved in a haphazard fashion.

Edited for grammar.

NO NO NO!

This answer is all wrong.

The correct answer, since you had vanity plates is:

"Shut up, you stupid bitch"

In Illinois, they're only something like $5 extra if the plate includes a number, so MANY people have them...I don't and never will.

Come to think of it, you just called my mom stupid.

That answer does not relegate you to the status of 1) not an asshole 2) not insecure and 3) not annoying as shit.

In fact, I hope you're kidding b/c there is no way you seriously just answered my post about how annoying people with vanity plates are with an explanation of why you needed them b/c you had a Porsche. You are as stupid as Coltrane's mother and B&B circa 1987-1993.

Please do not ever lump you and I into the same sentence again. I consider it an affront to my Tanginess and Zestiness.

And we had exactly the opposite idea. I admited that I was an asshole, insecure and annoying as hell when I had those plates. You tried to claim that you were not an asshole, insecure or annoying as hell by talking about your porsche, which just goes further to proving that you are an asshole, insecure and still annoying as hell.

Agree. I note I had a pretty big rant on Joe from Real World Miami last night, but I'll go along with your rant.

Funny vanity plate story - I've always hated them (my dad hated them [along with bumper stickers] during a crucial formative period for me I guess). My ex-husband went and bought vanity plates that said "LV [NCS]". I hated them. Might have even been the first nail in the coffin for the marriage. Turns out to be a dealkiller. Even if the message is nice to me.

He was not an asshole or annoying as hell, but was pretty insecure.

A few things -

1. I have a healthy respect for your hatred and I join with you in it.

2. I was a contestant on "Bumper Stumpers" with my friend in the late '80's. For those of you not acquainted with this game show, it's a show where two teams try to figure out vanity plates. There is a super stumper and you win money. It was filmed in Toronto, so you all are probably not familiar with it. Anyway, we lost miserably. My teammate was stoned.

3. During one miserable period in my life, I slept with this guy and forgot almost everything about him the next day. He called me up and wanted to go out the next weekend. I said ok. The weekend arrived and he showed up in a car with vanity plates that said "Whatzup" (I think that was the spelling used, but not sure). I was mortified. When he rang the bell of my apartment I hid in the closet and pretended I wasn't home. Mean, I know, but my god.
