Odd roll reversal for a Newfoundlander, but God damn does it ever kill me to hear heavy Ontarian accents. Are you guys secretly filming a teletubbies episode or something? TALK FASTER!

Backstory for foreigners, the old (dying somewhat) Newfoundland accent is a much ridiculed Irish/English/north American hybrid that goes a mile a minute and is largely incomprehensible to other Canadians. The more rural you go in Newfoundland these days the older the speech becomes. I live in the city, so most people my own age speak 'proper' Canadian, but are able to turn on the Newfiespeak when it suits them.

Edit: I had forgotten that my username is no longer 'Newf'. Odd.

-People who get hyped up over children being exposed to minor violence or "bad" language at their parents' disgression. (Talking about movies of course.)

you hate people who are modest?

are you saying you would rather have people say "fuck yea! im so much better than everyone because i just hit that shit and you cant"

not trying to flame, just asking your opinion

HG · Post by HG » 17 Jul 2007 17:24

when you obviously hit something good and pretend you aren't happy about it, it annoys me.

what is there to explain? you can be modest, but you can also be a fucking emo douche

how is a bad rootbeer float possible... you take one good thing *ice cream* and add it with one okay thing *rootbeer* and you've got one hell of a good drink/desert

I hate fast food restaurants and people who go to them. They are ok to go to a couple times a year, but beyond that isn't smart health - wise. Oh, I may be fat, but I hate fat people who think that if they eat a 24 cut pizza, then they drink a diet soda, or eat a salad, the calories magically disappear....douches.

I eat Wendy's every day, sometimes twice a day. Not because I like it, because really, I don't, but because it's free. And I'm in perfect health. A cavity or two, but that's not abnormal, seeing as I haven't been to a dentist in a few years. But other than that, I'm a perfectly healthy 19 year old male, 5'9'' weighing in at 145lbs. I RARELY eat anything BUT fast food. Who loves high metabolisms? I do!

I hate fast food restaurants, but not for the same reason. I hate them because they're utter dog shit jobs. They don't have to pay minimum wage, because they're restaurants, and seeing as tips can be factored in, they can pay you under minimum wage, even if they don't ALLOW you to receive tips. (Besides, who's gonna tip someone at a fast food joint?) Not to mention the absolute bullshit people in fast food places have to go through. Our itty bitty town lives off of fast food. 3 McDonald's, 4 Dairy Queens, 2 Burger Kings, Wendy's, 2 Taco John's, had 2 Taco Bells, only one now, Hardy's, 3 Subways (They're not as healthy as the commercials say folks...), Quiznoes Subs, Pizza Hut Express, Taco Hut (Run down fast food taco place, locally owned.) KFC, A&W... And Taco King, soon to have a Sonic. There's more... but that's all I can think of at the moment. That's only a population of just under 20,000 too... For fuck's sake.

Being skinny does not equal being healthy.

..You suck.... I'm 5'8-5'9ish and 160lbs lbs......

I agree with andrew though.... There are a lot of fat people who eat NOTHING but fastfood. And they think that getting a diet soda or a salad with their meal... makes...it....good.... I usually bust out laughing when I'm in a line and see this... Mainly because it's really hard for me to find the reasoning behind it.....I'm an asshole too.

- The vast majority of the Metal-core genre...
- Speaking of fat people.... overly large people who wear things they shouldn't...same thing with pregnant ladies. No-one wants to see how many fatrolls you have.....

Fuck fast food. I want good food faster, not crappy food slower

On another note, last night I was laying down to go to sleep, and I felt something brushing up against me..obviously my cat or my roommates little asshole cat, right??
OMG WAS I EVER WRONG!!!!
As soon as I trew on da lights dere, I saw that my cat was accross the room, and then when I lifted the covers, I FOUND A SPIDER THE SIZE OF A LOONIE

Little bastard was crawling all over me. I live in a basement apt. and I sleep on a lumpy futon mattress on the floor. Or at least I did until last night, now I sleep in the corner standing up with a bottle of Raid at the ready

Don't spiders usually live in corners?

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 18 Jul 2007 16:49

thats where they live, but not where they crawl.

My worst experience is when I was half way asleep and I opened my eyes because my spidey sense was tingling, and there in front of my eyes was a spider the size of a dime spinning down on its web towards my face.

Then I smashed the fuck out of it and laughed.

CautionFragile · Post by **CautionFragile** » 18 Jul 2007 19:10

Go being insanely bigger than bugs eh

Just imagine if that spider was big enough to crush you like that
