Wait for the GOV to collapse and rebuilt a new one with new policies in place.

Other than that maybe write congress.

Here's something I don't get: I saw a 14-16 year old girl at walmart at 9pm wearing a string bikini top and some of those "Pink" shorts that might have well of been nothing but super tight under ware. Ya, obviously no under ware underneath.

Who the hell let's their teen go out wearing that? I have a 16 year old, and I would kill her if she even tried to wear that in the house much less going out with friends.

Why after everyone in the world has seen or heard the "here's your sign" jokes, do people still ask retarded questions? = We went out mountain biking on marys loop today and the wife and I had just got done getting the bikes down and ready and the couple in the car next to us asks "hey, nice bikes, you guys going biking?" I should have said "nope, we're going to put them on our backs and have them ride us on the trail for once." Here's your sign...

I always figured why just sit and watch the TV when you can interact with it. It isn't a lazy thing or a have nothing better to do thing. You get up, make money, exercise, play with the kids, make your wife happy, and then you play if you want to.

While I don't play many video games myself, I can understand the appeal. The easiest way to explain it to other generations is throug the games they play. Video games are nothing more than the modern worlds version of crossword puzzles. Some better puzzles than others.

And then others, you can beat hookers...[ROFL1]

I don't understand the draw of "Reality TV". Is your life so pathetic you have no reality of your own?
I don't understand why our .gov doesn't understand the most basic of economics. You can't spend what you don't have.
I don't understand how 54% of the population thought "Hope" and "Change" are viable concepts to run a country on.
I don't understand the Liberal mindset.
I don't understand how some people can be so stupid yet remain breathing (typically through the mouth).

1) I have to agree on the faux hawk thing. It's borderline retarded.
2) People that have no sense of where they are in relation to you. Get the fawk out of the way in the middle of the damn aisle.
3) Do the flippin' speed limit.
4) Girls wearing bandanna's as a t-shirt. Decency is lost on my generation.
5) I'm sure I'll think of this one later...

I don't understand why anyone over ten years of age would play video games.

now thats an easy one. i hate single player games, but multiplayer games are huge for me being away from everyone ive ever grown up with. on the weekends i can play an hour or two of video games with my brother, best friends, cousins, and a plethora of other friends that i would otherwise never be able to hang out with. its literally like hanging out and watching tv with them. pretty nice when you are 1000 miles away. in fact, when my buddy was in the army, it was super nice. i could play games and chat with him while he was in afghanistan.

single palyer games i agree are a waste of time.

You wanna teach those of us who don't know how?

No one in my family owns a manual transmission, and the last few strangers whom I've approached in the parking lot weren't too friendly...

HA!

5 Things I don't understand:

1. Girls who honestly think a guy who wants you to ride on his motorcycle "just wants to be friends" and has "no other motives." Took me almost a year to get my wife to understand that one while we were dating.

2. The homeless person who had the balls to ask me for 2 dollars while I was clearly on the phone with my insurance company trying to get roadside assistance for my wife's car that had just broken down. I'm not anti-homeless people, but come on, man, the slightest amount of observational awareness would have SCREAMED "this is a bad time!"

3. The near ENDLESS amount of accusatory questions that are thrown my way when people find out I don't drink alcohol. And how timid people can be about drinking around me, even though I don't make an issue out of it, and even BUY people drinks on occasion. Look, I don't give a crap if you drink. It's your right, whatever, as long as it doesn't interfere with my life or the lives of my family members. I like food, you like beer, leave it alone.

4. Impatient people at fast food establishments and other retail outlets. It's nobodies fault but your own that you are in a hurry. And I don't care if it's McDonalds, and it takes 5-10 minutes instead of the company mandated 60-90 seconds. It's FOOD, FAST, and you can get it 24 hours a day. Be frickin' grateful, and shut the hell up! The world doesn't owe you JACK CRAP, and most of those people have to deal with the WORST CUSTOMERS on the face of the planet. I was a cashier at Home Depot for a summer, and that nonsense still gets on my nerves.

Especially that stupid ho at Einstein's who was obviously an administrative assistant or something similar who kept saying "I have a meeting in 10 minutes, so either give me my food now, or give me a refund!" and then turned to me and said "Is their job EVEN that hard?" I looked at the lady behind the counter and said "do her order before mine, she's obviously in SUCH a hurry." Then spent the next 5 minutes talking trash about her WITH the employees after she left. Is their job even that hard? You probably answer a phone all day and flirt with your boss. Shut your mouth. And why would you stop for a bagel and coffee if you have a meeting in 10 minutes? EFF!!!!!

Okay, peaceful place...

5. Parents who get into physical altercations at their child's sporting event. Seriously?

blackford76
07-31-2011, 10:34
1. The people who think their little (Honda-Toyota-Hyundai-whatever) SUV is a perfectly fine tow vehicle for hauling the camper in the mountains.
2. The fellow yesterday who ran down the turn lane on 470, then TRIED to intimidate his way in front of me, with his Toyota Pious with the coexist-I love obama bumper stickers.
3. politicians...aren't we AMERICAN's first? I thought we were all on the same side.

I don't understand why anyone over ten years of age would play video games.

I'm in my 30's and I still (occasionally) play video games. Do you understand why people watch TV or a Movie or read a book? It's a way to switch off parts of your brain, you get your mind into a "zone" where all your stress from work just goes away.

I have game consoles, but those are mainly for playing games with the girlfriend. Those are usually two player or cooperative games that are essentially a replacement for watching a movie.

Primarily I enjoy PC games on a high end rig, extremely competitive gaming against other human players. They fight back, they adapt, they try things you haven't seen done before.

Also I'll play 5 minute long "puzzle" games... often ones I've played before, where they time how long it takes to solve a given challenge. I play them in the middle of the day, as replacements for the smoke breaks I use to take. Often I find a few minutes focused on another task allows me some mental clarity when I go back to programming.

Also, if you haven't played any videogames since you were ten, you might not have seen how far it's come:

blackford, I saw the same type of thing yesterday. A Jeep Cherokee pulling a camper trailer and a jet-ski trailer.

#1 I get annoyed at people that buy a mattress and think one or two little pieces of twine is gonna hold it to the roof of their vehicle while driving 65 MPH.

#2 People who drive their "smart" car on I-25

#3 People who think it is OK to park on private property because they are too lazy to walk few hundred more feet. I get this all the time when Windsor decides to have some sort of event at Boardwalk park. I am constantly telling them they can't park there because it's private property. Most of them are OK about it and move, some are not OK and tell me to deal with it. Is it OK if I drag a vehicle off of my property with my truck?

#4 Daylight savings time. It's not needed, get rid of it.

#5 I can't think of a 5th, but I will and I'll post it when it comes to me.

I would have told them to make sure to make my order first, and I'd need it well done.

I have only a couple
#1 Scooters- take your toy off the road. Its for kids and vacation towns, not to ride in rush hour like an asshole.
#2 These dipshits that drive thier diesels around and make it a point to blow out black smoke everywhere. I drive a lifted diesel, doesnt smoke that much, dont want to look like a prick. I live by ATS Diesel. Talk about some true jack-offs.

jmg8550
07-31-2011, 13:24
Diesel trucks that smoke like a coal train are very annoying. A properly tuned diesel should only smoke on initial acceleration. Other than that, it is just wasting fuel. And if you have a newer diesel with a particulate filter, it clogs them up.

Scooters are just plain annoying. Some of those people think that bicycle rules apply to them also. Move over for the real drivers.

Irving
07-31-2011, 13:36
Some of those people think that bicycle rules apply to them also.

That's because they do.

I see a lot of scooters in the Highlands area. I think a scooter would be fun, but I can't really see a situation where it would be beneficial. I could see myself delivering pizza on a scooter, but my area is kind of large, and I'd really need a scooter large enough to be classified as a motorcycle.

30mph is TOO slow for any street. Those bicycle scooters should be able to do at least 45 mph. The other night, I saw some asshole kids riding a scooter. They were assholes because the scooter had some super loud after market muffler and the driver was driving VERY slow, revving the hell out of it. Until I actually saw it, I was thinking, "What kind of assclown is running a chainsaw at 11:00pm?" Know why he was driving so slow and revving it so much? Because there were 4 people on it. The driver and four girls. I was hoping they tipped over sideways. He was going so slow that they really could have just walked.

Irving

I believe that anything with an engine or motor needs to follow motor vehicle laws.

Looks like you'll have to take that up with the state then. That's why those scooters are so slow, because under a certain engine size, they get to be classified as a bicycle. No driver's license/motorcycle license required, no registration, no insurance, and can park at bike racks.

jmg8550
07-31-2011, 15:07
I'm not gonna start my own little crusade on that issue. Not worth my time. It is just my belief. Also, some municipalities don't allow scooters under a certain size to be used as transportation on public roads. For example, 49cc or smaller. Which also happens to be the limit for licensing.

LoneStar

Yeah, that's the limit I'm talking about, but I thought they could be used on roads, just not highways. Like I was saying, I think those scooters are too slow to be safe. I see people riding those tiny things and blocking up traffic. I wouldn't do that for my own safety. They need to be able to do at least 45 mph. But then it'd be too hard to give them bicycle rules. I think I'd just buy a motorcycle.

1. I dont understand why all the country road pedal pushers feel the need to relieve them selves of all internal matter on my private property. would it be o.k. if I relieved the pressure on my weapon thier way.
2.I dont undertand why the same group that craps on my property gets pissed when they ride 4-5 wide in the road and I get closer than they like when I have to pass them. I have nothing against bikers, but give me the same respect you would like to get.
3. I dont understand people like Gore who get Nobel Peace prize or similar awards for Green House emission studies, but then will jump into his corporate Lear jet (lots of ozone killing gasses to haul one guy around) to run off and talk to a group about how good he is, when he could have flown like the rest of us or hitched a ride on a bus.
4. I dont understand Obama, what a embarrasement to this country.

Also Tattoos--I don't understand why people get them--but--to each their own.

Just combine the two- Squids... I don't understand them! Guess not everyone wants to live.
Mine would be:
-Bicyclists in the city who disregard traffic lights and turning vehicles (waiting for a big splat)
-Bicyclists in the mountains who TAKE UP THE ENTIRE LANE, share the road goes both ways, and I was always taught the rules of the sea: Yield to the bigger boat.
-Motorcycle d-bags who have pipes so loud you can't have a conversation 1/2mi away, assholes. You're not cool bruno, tone it down.
-Guys who wear MMA clothing (like TapOut and UFC) that probably have no idea how to fight and would curl up in a little ball and cry if actually hit.
-All the homeless downtown that beg for money... I work hard for mine, I hate how my taxes go to those on welfare, and I only donate to WWP and PHA (that's Wounded Warrior Project and Purple Heart Assoc., respectively), do you really think I want to give you money so you can continue to sit and do nothing?
-Had to add one more, because this reds my ass: Parents who let their 14 year old daughters wear clothing that wasn't even allowed when I was in high school... I'm not saying they're going to turn into little sluts (Lindsey Lohan style!) but they are wearing the uniform, if not, then the practice uniform.

A couple of years ago, Iwas driving one of my old company trucks (a 91 Dodge diesel with 200,000 miles plus on it) out of a customers driveway.
The end of the driveway turned onto a county rd. I stopped and waited for two bicycilists to pass by. They were so close I couldn't pull out in front of them safely. After turning onto the rd. I had to follow them up a short hill.
They were all nicely dressed in their spandex, cycle shoes and those space helmets. They must have thought I was following too close (which I wasn't) ... did I mention they were riding side by side ? Anyway just before they crested the hill one of them FLIPPED ME OFF! .....After I topped the hill I floored the old Dodge, it did my old heart good to see those sooty faces staring at my tail pipe.[ROFL1][ROFL2][ROFL3]

Gotta disagree on that one. It gets annoying in residential areas, but around town and on the highway I felt better knowing that even if some idiot not paying attention doesn't see me, he can damn sure hear me.
The rest though, completely agree. I took my 13yo sister to breakfast this morning, she had shorts that could pass as underwear and makeup that made her look like a freakin raccoon. Needless to say she won't be doing that anymore, at least not around me.

Gotta disagree on that one. It gets annoying in residential areas, but around town and on the highway I felt better knowing that even if some idiot not paying attention doesn't see me, he can damn sure hear me.

I think this came up in a thread earlier so I won't bother with repeating what has been already stated. However, in regards to this- I understand loud to a degree. I'm talking more about the one that are so fawking loud that when the rider gets above 3,000rpm it sounds like the gates of hell are opening up. For instance, a couple weeks ago I was in Downtown Evergreen (those familiar will know exactly which bar that has gone downhill I speak of) when walking toward a cafe on mainstreet some Sons of Anarchy wannabe starts up his bike, and to me, for the sole reason of showboating (like the d-bag he is) starts to rev the engine on his hardley keying in at near-impossibly deafening decibels. I was a mere 30 yards away and couldn't even hear myself think (and I'm a loud thinker). He didn't pull out for another couple minutes, and it just made me want to go over to his bike when he wasn't on it and pour gelatin into his tank... and as a rider I would never mess with a man's bike, but that crosses more than one line.

Agreed Ronin. I ride a Harley and have non-stock pipes that help me get noticed but I wouldn't call them loud and certainly not nearly as loud as the ones you mentioned. And I don't have them for the sole purpose of being loud.

I had the same thing happen to me not too long ago. Walking into an eating establishment with my sleeping daughter on my shoulder. Greasy dude comes out, clearly sees me and my daughter, gets on his bike and revs it up as loud as he possibly could just feet from us. Might as well not had any pipes at all. My ears were ringing for hours. Can't imagine what my 14 month old's ears felt like...

There is no need to rev up loud pipes while sitting still. Dude's with little peckers do that...

I don't understand $500+ Glocks?
Why women think that me being quiet, thinks that's grounds for an argument?
Things do work the way they are designed to and I have to re engineer them?
Poor grammar.
Spanish only signs.

Spanish being used in America period!
Oh and I have to add- people who come to America, live and work here, and yet they fly a foreign flag! See Mexico flags on cars all the time too, but CO plates? I understand national pride and all, but you're in my country, if you want to be a citizen fly our colors.

Everytime I see one of the Harleys that is obnoxiously loud, I think of this episode of South Park.

Note: If you drive a Harley that's louder than it should be, you will likely be offended.

Is that a dig at Spanish speakers or English, because it goes both ways?

Spent the day on the front range. [Wink] Here are my five for the day.


Why must slow people subject others to their slowness? If you are going to have a rectal cranial inversion please move to the side and let others by.
People who have to knock on a door/window when the sign says closed and the lights are off.
Why people act dumb when they are told they are trespassing on a private road. Can you not read the big signs that say "NO TRESPASSING"?
Why the newest employee, in the big box store, has the hardest time getting an manager off their fat ass to help customers.
People who think the C. Everett Koop beards are fashionable.
Oh wait, I'm only allowed 5.

Some people can pull off a beard like that. He's an old man, I bet he could care less about fashion.

Maybe he burned his face with a cigarette and can't grow a mustache because of it. Would explain his dislike for smokes.

I get the middle finger on a nearly regular basis when driving between Evergreen and Kittridge... speed limit is 35, but some people want to go 25, and it's only 1 lane per direction with solid double yellow, so I give them the flashy headlights and they get mad at me. Another reason I couldn't be a cop, I would go freaking batty if I had to be stuck behind slow drivers all the time.

I'm not even talking about drivers, old people or those with some other disorder. People on the sidewalk, grocery aisle, pretty much anywhere. You know the type that have to walk down the center, blocking both sides, and stop for what ever reason.

I about knocked over a heard of them yesterday. Walking into a store behind three people. All three take two steps into the store and stop blocking the entrance. Trying to be polite, I wait a couple of seconds. But no, the RCI has consumed them. I have to put my one of their shoulders and almost push my way through. Not the only time it happened either.
