Pat Moment of the Day - Search Boxes
« on: April 05, 2006, 04:22:26 pm »
Hi.

Current thing that pisses me off: a search box at the top of a web site that initiates a search of the INTERNET, not a search within the site I am currently visiting.

If I wanted to search the internet, I would just go to Google.com.  I don't need to do that from YOUR site, asshole.

Current thing that pisses me off - People who think they can do ANYTHING with their automobiles as long as they put their blinkers on.  Blocking rush hour traffic? Causing a backup for several blocks behind me? It's OK, I've got my blinkers on.  NO IT ISN'T, ASSHOLE.

What's currently pissing me off is partially-fermented maple syrup. The fuckers!

I say we all sign up for snubster.

Currently I am annoyed by people who turn right from the travel lane when a perfectly good right-turn lane is available. Also, that for some reason every single fuck*ng person stradles the turn lane at Washington Blvd and 10th St blocking me from going straight. I can't see any reason why ever car drives smack dab over the line instead of moving completely into the lane. I've turned right there many times myself. The turn lane isn't haunted or anything. What the hell people?

Can I give a general shout-out here to "food that tastes funny in a way that makes you expect fermentation, even if that's unlikely?" Eww!

I'm not really gripped by any Pat-like anger at the moment (except at myself), but I will nominate as an all-time favorite my white-knuckling rage at people who don't know how to get through a cafeteria line, who treat it like a magical mystery that must be navigated extremely slowly and carefully, in a ritualistic manner, lest the Food Gods revoke their bounty. And inevitably whatever I want is at the end of the line, too. Fuckers, indeed!

Isn't there a drink called a Lumberjack or something that is Jagermeister and Maple Syrup?  I'm sure I can google this, but I prefer to sometimes mis-remember things that amuse me.

OK, to go with Ash -

Who puts the air intake of a low vehicle (minivan) near the BOTTOM of the engine compartment? Thing sucked water right into the cylinders. DESIGN WITH FUNCTIONALITY IN MIND. MAYBE SOME DAY THERE WILL BE SOME WATER ON THE ROAD.

I spent Friday on a flooded rural detour (the main, paved road was flooded so of course we all went down the flooded back road) with three overflowing streams to ford at 3 - 3.5 feet of moviing muddy water. The rest of the road was OK, 75% of that was 2 feet deep or so. The main concern was that the water was moving and I didn't want to go with it. There was no choice in the matter, I had to take the Jeep 4x4 to rescue the wife from the flooded minivan and get my kid and another kid to the other side of the main flooded road. GOD MAKE IT STOP RAINING. FRIDAY WAS CONSECUTIVE DAY 42 OF RAIN ON OAHU.

I can still picture the frantic woman in the BMW rolling down her window as we were going by slowly in the deepest part of one of the overflowing streams - as she cried out "my car died!" in the 3 feet or so of water, our slow moving vehicle pushed a little wave into her open window. Couldn't stop, though, I was afraid if I didn't keep the gas on the water could get too far into the tailpipe and stop the jeep. Hopefully she got some help but she definitely screwed up the traffic in a really bad spot. MAKE BETTER DRIVING CHOICES, PEOPLE.

So everyone lived and the minivan lived too. It's actually quite funny to take the plugs out, hit the starter, and watch fountains of water dancing out of your engine. And my mobile mechanic and good buddy Jamie let me keep my $72.50 for his hour of time.

now I know why I can't write good rock songs.
I seem to be missing out on so much basic human rage at the world.

Is it really terribly wrong to find this funny? My moral compass points to yes, but damn. 'A little wave'.

Screech (Newfoundland rum) ends up tasting like this. It's fairly dark, so it's got the caramel flavours, and it seems to be oak barrel aged, giving it a woody flavour. There's also 'The Canuck', a cocktail made with rye whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup, and bitters. Maybe it's unpatriotic, but I haven't had the guts to try that one yet.

Pat Moment:  Don't fuck*ng resize my browser window...  I use Firefox with Tabs going hog wild and when you do that it fucks up my browsing regimen.  I have an obsessive browsing addict schedule to keep you Web Designing fucks.


Oh also, screw people that use the faux word "irregardless".  I don't care if Webster's added it from common usage, it still is a needless word.  We already have a word that means what you're looking for.. it's "regardless".  Why the hell would you add Ir to it?  To sound more erudite?  Fuck that and fuck you.  You can't be without without regard, that means you have regard for it.  You fucks. 





whew.. I'm done now.

It was in a little different of a place but I found it (Web Features -> Advanced for anyone taking notes), thank you!

You know, it never occurred to me to even look, I am getting slow and decrepit in my advanced age like Elvis or Jesus.
