That happened to me once, it's a really nasty problem to get around.

He wouldn't renounce the Dalai Lama?

My perception (and it might be wrong) is that DanQ doesn't really care about the Off Topic side of the site at all,

Your perception is incorrect, but I both recognize and understand how that view (likely) came to be. Over the past couple of years or so I've been making greater efforts to check in on new/hot topics in the OT myself and -- even more directly -- in participating in some discussions. Hopefully your perception will change over time (one which I highly suspect is shared by many), but if not I won't begrudge it.

Some may wish I'd stay more passive now having learned of this, but can't please everyone...

Ah hell, Dan. You're aces. No worries.

[Lancer]

DQ, could you please look into the banning of Drake Tungsten?

So this morning I had a string of idiots on the road to the metro stop. As some of you know, I get up pretty damn early so at this juncture bus/bike isn't really an option for me to get to the train station. I probably live less than 2mi from the stop though, but I'm unwilling to get up earlier than I do now.

Anywho, string of idiots who couldn't figure out stuff like "protected left turn" on the traffic light, and were flabbergasted at the "smarttrip" kiosk at the entrance to the parking lot. Note: They'll only charge you on the way out, not on the way in.

So it's still fairly early in the morning(0530ish) and normally I can park right up as close to the train station as possible. Instead the parking lot is full.

And quite a few of the spaces are taken up by those shuttles made from large trucks where their bed is turned into a passenger area.

A lot of them(I'd go so far as to say "all") are too big for the parking spaces and overlap the white lines. Then there is an empty space. Then another of these shuttles.


You guessed it: Every Catholic church in the damn state picked people up for an early mass with the Vicar of Christ on Earth. I had to park clear on the otherside of the ****ing moon, I got down, you had a lines of *******s who clearly have never ridden the train before in their lives blocking the "smarttrip only express" turnstyle, flabbergasted that the one day pass they bought doesn't work dispite the massive signs hanging over the turnstyles saying SMARTTRIP ONLY.

Then you had the *******s who leaned up against the doors of the train, with idiotic expressions on their face as the doors opened and closed while the intercomm is yelling "DON'T LEAN ON THE DOORS. WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL YOU GET OFF THE DOORS!"

I should have called in sick.

So today some ****ing brain surgeon stuck anti-catholic jack chick tracts on all the windshields at the metro stop I use.

Of course, the Pope left DC yesterday, but I guess we can't be bothered to read the ****ing news.

Wait, so Asher was banned again?

You're quick-witted, aren't you?

Shoot, I thought this was a general purpose venting thread.

Yes, but not for what Lonestar was referring to..or at least I dont think so.....

I am sure there is a rhyme or reason, I mean, not like anyone has a hard on or just banning for no reason

It is, but there's references out the ass about Asher being banned. Of course, one has to actually read the thread.

WTF is a reference?

WTF about the Thread?

This thread?

Or am I missing something about Asher being banned?

These meds got me all confuzed

Sometimes people here make me feel like I'm in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Why should I be banned? I don't break the rules (at least not very often). The fact that you don't like what I post is irrelevant.

You ****ing piece of work!

You're so ****ing deluded and wrapped up in whatever mind**** aggie-world stands for that you seriously believe any of us are going to take that seriously...

You just slandered the **** out of Asher, you ****brick.

Every single time Asher gets banned you jump around for all you're worth insulting the crap out of him like the cowardly jizz-soaked piece of human excrement we all know you are, knowing full well he can't defend himself and make you cry like he always does...

Basically you just called him, 1) an anti-semite; 2) that he's got a serious psychological illness; 3) that he's racist...

But don't worry, your diseased tongue is so far up the Poly owners' cracks that you get preferential treatment and not only are you not banned, but your post is incredibly NOT EVEN DELETED!!!

How do you manage that!!?

Nightly spit-roast sessions a la Ming and Rah...?

It must be something like that to allow some whiny little putrescence of a ****stain like you get away with the unutterable double standards bollocks you infest this forum with all your pathetic little childish excuses for posts...

God, I like this gripe thread...
