I don't think I'd want to use an Automatic Teller Moron.

I like songs like that. Especially angry ones that sound happy. Ben Folds anyone? Well, I guess you can nix the sickenly part.

yeah, upbeat songs that are really downers can be amusing. "Tonight's the night I fell asleep at the wheel" from BNL is a good one.

I have thought of another major pet peeve:

Duplicating work.

Not doing work again because you want to see if the results are the same - that's legitimate. And I don't mean, "install this on twenty machines" or "make five bologna sandwiches."

I mean, reading off the serial number of a server the fifth time to the fifth person who wants to put it in some kind of spreadsheet. Or worse, having the seventh person ask me to verify data because a database entry is wrong, and I've reported it wrong each of the previous six times.

Or having to drive back to the store because I forgot the milk. Or losing count of something and having to start counting all over. Or cleaning the carpet only to have someone spill something on it the very next moment, requiring a re-cleaning. Or when PSP crashes and wipes a Reasoned Cognition strip before I can save it and I have to redo it.

I haaaaaaate doing the same work twice (or three, four, five, ten, twenty times...). I'd rather run headfirst into a closed door.

Yah! TMBG has a ton of sad-songs-that-sound-happy as well as happy-songs-that-sound-sad, and I'll be gosh-durned if I'll let someone say something bad about TMBG without some good old fashioned fist-shakin'!

*shakes fist*

I like songs that sound normal but are actually twisted and wrong.

Like Saturday Night by the Misfits. At first listen it sound like a love/heartbreak type song. But it's not! ahahahaha!

Yeah, those kind of songs are fun. Too bad I usually can't follow lyrics to save my life. Also, for some reason I don't particularly enjoy Ben Folds even though part of me thinks I should.

Edit: I still want to be a drunk slut.

NakedElf · Post by **NakedElf** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:17 pm

My apple juice came accidentally-fermented in the bottle today, I suppose that almost makes me a drunken slut. Only I didn't actually drink any of it.

It's fun to make drunken sluts take thier tops off and watch them get caught up in their shirt and eventually fall down.

idiot teachers who expect you to write down every word they say as if it was from on high, even though you not only already know the material they are talking about, but it's frickin' basic stuff.

Sometimes your sense of humor loses me.

NakedElf · Post by **NakedElf** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 7:15 am

*sigh* well now I'm feeling all nostalgic.

Of course, our drunken sluts were more likely to run around randomly spanking/otherwise assaulting people than fall over while trying to undress... The shoes, now, the shoes did cause some accidents...

Idiots.

Ignorance.

People who think I'm Satan because I'm fond of profanity, and extremists of most, if not all kinds.

Parasites. (I'm referring to people who cannot or will not provide for themselves).

Hey, they're already drunk and apparently slutty. I'm just making the most humor from the situation. I also like watching moronic guys jump over bonfires and dislocate their shoulders. (Actually knew a guy who did that. Frickin moron.)
