Things That Annoy You

[wr250]

you are eating a succulant chinese meal at the buffet. you want crab legs, so when they bring out a new batch, some jackass takes all the good ones , piling his plate high. so you wait, eating other things slowly. they bring out another tray, and the jackass does it again.
all thats left is the puny ones and a few scraggly looking claws.

I know, right. I think they train the bastards before they release them to the public.

     Garrulous drunks. Who are drunk after two gin and tonics.

Whenever I drop my pencil, it somehow lands directly under my chair.

I hate that! What's worse, is when you drop a small object, like a coin or bolt. A reasonable person expects it to have landed within a few feet. Nope.  Somehow it ends up  15' away, or it disappears completely. A portal? A week later you run it over with the vacuum cleaner in a completely different room.

Bless me, Father, for I have been annoyed.

1) Anderson Cooper.

Words fail me. Saw him on Sixty Minutes tonight, assisting with the capture of Nile Crocodiles.

Like Billy Jack seeing a poor Indian child covered in flour, it just makes me go berserrrrrrrrrrrk.

2) Similar to the word failure experienced when typing "Bob Costas." 

Though at this late date I am finally able to refer to Bob as an emaciated version of Ian Punnett ... before I regurgitate in OLED splendor.

3) OH, and here's an OLD grudge...  HBO canceling CARNIVALE after I invested a "Twin Peaks like" focus on the son of a bitch. It's been nine years and I still wake up in a cold sweat wondering exactly what all that curtain play in the Holy of Holies was really about.

You shortsighted bastards.

Speaking of HBO's Carnivale, I would be highly remiss if I didn't mention that it starred Clea DuVall, and that Clea more recently appeared in Argo, and guess who else appeared in Argo?

That's right.  The Great Michael Parks as comic artist Jack Kirby.

I have officially won a private bet about mentioning Parks on the forum.

Thank you.  Thank you.  And good night.

I'm outta here.

Have you seen his performance in Red State? Parks should have been nominated for an award. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself there but he is a fine actor.

Here is the trailer to Kevin Smith's new film featuring Parks.

I have not seen his performance in Red State, but I will certainly follow your endorsement and watch it.

And thanks for that trailer, Jaz.  I had posted a comment about the upcoming TUSK on the "I'm Watching" thread, but had not seen the trailer, having only read the background story of how the project came to be.

Parks keeps coming up in conversations and events in my personal life, and it's enjoyable to notice so many coincidences (events I will not bore others with here.)  I'm all but convinced that had HBO's Carnivale been allowed a more natural death of 5 to 6 seasons, that Parks would have made an appearance on the show. It would only make sense, as other actors from Twin Parks er Peaks had parts on Carnivale and he would have added even more "legitimacy of the strange" for lack of a better phrase.

An aside: I believe the third 8-track tape I sent to a contact on this forum was Fleetwood Mac's album "Tusk." I'm hoping the filmmaker(s) slipped that song into the project. As many know, Art Bell sometimes used that song as a bumper to great effect back in the day.

The next moment down the river of time I post, I will have viewed Red State.

Quagmire. Now that I've heard so much about Carnivale, I really want to see it, but it's been canceled, so is it worth it to begin a series knowing it's going to end abruptly? There were two Brit series I liked: The Fades and Apparitions. I got into both of them, and they weren't renewed. So, is Carnivale worth my tears of frustration at the conclusion?

Random annoyance:  two words that should never be used together are low carb and pasta.

When I get the southern primal urge to bake a corn bread and I go to the store to acquire some buttermilk and all I can find is no fat buttermilk I wonder how can that be. For my purpose I would call such a thing sour skim milk at worst and oxymoron at best.

I wonder what the non-dairy buttermilk is like

Yes, it's worth it.  A very strange series. 
But I liked it.  What are a few tears of frustration anyway?? 
Keeps "boring" at bay.

Yeah, you're right. What the hey, I'll start watching. I'll just lie to myself and say it's on hiatus, like Fire *sob* fly

I tried to get into that series a few weeks back.  I only got through the first episode and have not returned.   It didn't hook me like some of the other HBO series have. It seems like one of those shows where you have to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate.

I was trying to recollect Steve Martin movies today and I had forgotten about that one.  But it's not something that annoys me.

        George Thorogood marathon on the radio.

        It's only one song, but it seems like a marathon.

I was surprised to learn recently that he has played and recorded more than one song.  He sure fooled me.

A friend of mine played at the same blues fest as GT this summer, and said he was pretty much an all around dickish diva.  He was generally unpleasant, and demanded to use his own stage lights, so the audience had to wait for over an hour while they were installed.

Here he is doing his standard wank routine while Duke Tumatoe patiently indulges him before taking him to school for an advanced class in guitar virtuosity.
