Shit of the Miscellaneous Variety

Now that I'm thinking about it, where did the word "miscellaneous" come from? It's kind of a cool word, rolls off the tongue, nifty! as my parents used to (ok still do) say. I didn't care enough to look it up.

What in the holy hell is wrong with people? Why do people insist on having big conversations in stores on their cell phones? Not only do they have these conversations, but they are kind enough to talk soooooooo loudly that the whole fuckin store can also hear the conversation? And it's not like a quick call home to ask if they can get brand Y because they're out of brand X, no sirree. It's intense, personal conversations where there seems to be a rule about screaming, i.e. do it often and as loud as you can!!!

I was at Home Depot last night, looking at a lamp, and there was this ..... I don't know the correct origin, but it was Asian, let's just say. He was with his son, I assume it's his son, and was wandering around the entire store, talking on his cell phone in some Asian-like language, so loudly that no matter where I went in Home Depot I could hear the guy. That ain't no small store, folks!! I swear I was this (just picture me holding two fingers about 1 millimeter apart) close to grabbing his cell phone out of his hand and throwing it against the wall.

I mean, is it really necessary? Can't you have these conversations in a private place? Do you want the entire store to hear your personal conversation? Or do you not care? Anyway fuckos (hahahaha Charlie stole your word!), knock it the fuck off!

Fantasy Football: Don't forget, the draft is scheduled for Friday, August 26th at 1:00 p.m. Pacific (for those of you not math people, such as myself, that's (I think) 4:00 p.m. EST). If you can't be there for the draft, make sure to pre-rank your players if you want to before the draft date/time. If you don't know how to do that, let me know or just go to the site, it's pretty self-explanatory (if I can figure it out, trust me it's not that hard). If you can make the draft, to get there on draft day/time you just log onto Yahoo, go to Fantasy Football (the free one), and our league (if you joined) should be there on the page, click on the league name and there will be a "join live draft" link, I suggest showing up 5-10 minutes early, there is a chat thing where we can chat before it starts. Any questions, let me know. I can't believe football's about to start already!!!
