I’ll go with the aimless wandering people in the mall, Walmart, or where ever. But add the ones who block the aisle or junction of aisles while they stop to talk or peruse the merchandise. I’m always tempted to show then how, if they positiioned their shoppiing cart slightly differently, stood to one side a little further, or ate more so their butt would be bigger, that they could completelyl block access three or four aisleways at one time. I’m convinced that three or four people like this could shut down an entire Super Walmart.

[...] SayUncle gets another blog meme going.It�s the end of the year, holiday time. A time for reflection. A time for a look back. A time to be thankful that the baby Jesus was born, died and resurrected as a fat guy, who delivers presents, chants Kujichagulia through a menorah during his month long fasting because he�s trying to lose all that weight. Or something, I tend to get my holidays confused. I think it may also involve fireworks. It�s also Festivus, which completely unlike the aforementioned holiday montage, is actually made up. As part of Festivus, we are to air our grievances. Tommy wants someone to start so I�ll start with a list of shit I hate:I can get into that. I’ll start of by seconding one of Uncle’s:People who can�t walk with either a distinct sense of purpose or in a straight line. Walk through the mall and there will eventually be a dumbass in front of you who you�ll try to get around. They will zig to the left and zag to the right getting in your way both times without a clue they�re doing it. Those are the morons I mean. If you�ve never seen these people, you are these people. Walk like you have a sense of purpose or, at least, like you know where you�re going.These people seem to have an uncanny sixth sense about which direction it is you’re moving to try to walk around them, because they invariably swerve in that direction. A very close second to this are the people who, using their cart and shopping partner(s), manage to block the entire aisle, so there’s no path around them on either side. To paraphrase the B-52s, they’re shopping in their own private grocery store. On to the list [...]

knoxville doesn’t have traffic…. try spending one week in San Jose, California (I won’t suggest anyone spend a week in LA, as the air causes lung cancer!)

If that’s too far try Chicago traffic – but wait for warmer weather!

A few. We’re well over half blogified. In fact the shop itself has a blog… coalcreekarmory.blogspot

For decent instant, try Nestle’s with chicory. It’s hard to find sometimes though. It’s decent because it doesn’t pretend to taste like coffee, it’s something else entirely

Sorry about the MP5K malf’ing last night, it’s getting some age on it…

When faced with those roving idjits in the mall or wherever they cannot walk straight I do my damnest to get in front of them and fart. Small and petty I know, but I am a small and petty man.

God the whole turn signal thing … I once saw the best bumper sticker …

Forget about World Peace, visualize using your turn signal.

Pure genius.

And in the words of Gene Autry (on his immortal album Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer),

Happy Holidays folks, where ever you may be!

And it’s not the fonts in the e-mails that get me, it’s the people who use those annoying background “wallpapers”. As if what they’re writing isn’t uninteresting enough on its own merits, now I have to wait for this crappy scenic autumn leaves background crap to load before I can read whatever crap it is they’ve sent me.

“Coffee stir sticks/straws. Seriously, these things are so thin they cannot adequately stir coffee (which SayUncle happens to take with a little sugar and he likes it strong). I always wind up using three of them to get an adequate level of stirriness*. Why not just make the damn things three times thicker?”

Exactly! Like using the wrong end of a canoe paddle.
