I'm peeved that apparently the NY Times will let 19 year old fratboys write articles for them but they won't hire me.

Did you read the article? Or even look at the name of the author?

Youtube soundtrack uploads that start with a 10 second unrelated clip.

Go to write a paper.

IMMEDIATELY GET SICK.

I've been sick for the last week or so. I'm pretty much over it by now, though, except for the mucus.

There is so much green stuff coming out of my head right now you have no idea. When I woke up this morning I sounded like James Earl Jones I had so much gunk in my throat.

Now I'm picturing a bleary-eyed DN putting on his bathrobe and shuffling into the bathroom, rubbing his eyes, a box of kleenex tucked under his arm. He stares at the bedraggled figure in the mirror, his nose red with irritation, and says

"This is CNN."

oh god the guy downstairs is playing his banjo again

Mongrel · « **Reply #1428 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:26:29 PM »

Banjos!?!

EDIT: I am reminded of the time I drove some annoying stoners crazy by blasting Bill Monroe and Osborne Brothers' songs at maximum volume.

Büge · « **Reply #1429 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:37:58 PM »

You don't understand.

All this guy knows how to play is the opening notes of "Dueling Banjos" and the chorus from "Old Macdonald." I have heard them at least once a day for the past year.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1430 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:48:17 PM »

Okay, that's pretty bad.

Scratch that, that's terrible.

You need to shoot him, not yourself. Invoke Old Yeller.

The guy upstairs from us strummed chords on his guitar at 11pm. You can do that when you're a student but not when the folks downstairs have work in the morning.

Products that try to hide the fact that they're pumped full of synthetic sweetener, especially sugar alcohol. I'm pretty violently allergic to that shit.

this is not a good reason to give somebody free reign to never be amusing ever

It's "free rein".

People that say cocky when they mean arrogant.

Detonator · « **Reply #1435 on:** May 30, 2010, 10:18:50 AM »

you mean there's a difference? dictionary.com puts "arrogant" as the definition.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #1436 on:** May 30, 2010, 12:14:07 PM »

Maybe I'm wrong and they're the same thing, but I've always learned to use arrogance more as insolence, while cockiness is just overly self-confident.

Classic · « **Reply #1437 on:** May 30, 2010, 12:50:51 PM »

I prefer to use them that way too.

Either one makes perfect sense.

Related: It's "just deserts", unless you're making a stupid ice cream pun.

dessert (dez-URT): what you eat after a meal
desert (DEZ-urt): a place where rain barely ever falls
desert (dez-URT): to leave something behind
desert (dez-URT): a suitable reward or punishment

Also, forte is supposed to be pronounced "fort" but "fort-AY" sounds neat so I say it anyway.
