Sports Shortz -- The Ryan Leaf Edition
We all knew what a friggin' idiot Leaf was. So it shouldn't surprise people when he continues to do stupid things.— November 11, 2008 6:28 p.m.
Bad Information From Critics (this means you, Roger Ebert)
I don't really agree with you on your take on this, Josh. If your experienced is ruined, after starting a certain way, it's okay to walk out. You don't need to go through the rest of it.— November 11, 2008 6:24 p.m.
Samuel Jackson on Jury Duty
Josh, you would fit right in in Nazi Germany. First you sound like a racist the way you describe the two attorneys. And secondly, part of what makes this the greatest country on Earth is citizens are innocent until proven guilty. It is only in facist states like Nazi Germany, where it's up to you to prove you're innocent any time someone decides to accuse you of anything. Innocent until proven guilty, is one of the basic protections we have as American citizens.— November 11, 2008 6:22 p.m.
Jack in ze Box...Schnell!!
You still expect to see a pimply-faced teenager when you go into a fast-food place? I go in hoping somebody speaks english.— October 26, 2008 2:28 a.m.
Barbie vs. Bratz
But following your logic, any doll idea you come up with while talking about it on the Reader blog will belong to the Reader, so why bother?— August 31, 2008 12:59 p.m.
Dear Ardith
There's nothing wrong with Ethan. And Emilio is fine if the family is Hispanic. It doesn't sound right if his last name is Smith. The names you should have an issue with are 1) made up names that aren't really names and nobody knows how to say, unless they do because somebody named their kid Window or something, or 2) people who don't know how to spell the name they give their kid, or worse, spell it different to be creative. If you want to name your kid Lancelot (you're an idiot) but you spell it Lan'xlott I'm going to call your kid Lanks-lott, and if he doesn't like it tough. He can blame you.— August 14, 2008 4:41 p.m.
San Diego Is Chargers' Problem
I always wondered why the Chargers say they need a new stadium to remain competitive, when there is a salary cap in the NFL. As long as they bring in enough to afford the salary cap (which they do) why do they need more? Could it be as simple as greed? I say let them move to Industry. Who cares. They'll still be on TV here, and we won't have to worry about blackouts if they don't sell out. But if Roski builds the stadium himself, will they become the Roski Chargers?— August 7, 2008 1:56 a.m.
Friends Don't Let Friends....Do Stupid Things
I thought of some more that bug the crap out of me. People who, when they arm their car alarm, the horn loudly honks. Is that really necessary? You can set it so the lights blink, and arm your alarm without disturbing everybody within 500 feet. And the people who anounce their arrival by laying on the horn. Unless you're announcing it to the whole neighborhood, knock it off. If I'm too lazy to get out of my car, I burn a minute on the cell, and spare the neighbors. People who let their dog run up to other people are rude, too. And I like dogs. But what about the people who don't? It's rude to let your dog go running up to people like everybody knows and loves your dog. And speaking of dogs - people who leave their dogs outside to bark at clouds, or whatever the hell they bark at, until I want to go all hellboy on them (a good movie, I don't care what you say). If you see yourself here, and you're going "man, this guy's got a problem" please kill yourself.— August 4, 2008 11:08 p.m.
Friends Don't Let Friends....Do Stupid Things
I think Fred should go back to making bad beer commercials. (Less filing! Tastes great!)— August 4, 2008 10:54 p.m.
Friends Don't Let Friends....Do Stupid Things
What it comes down to is people need to be considerate. Most people give no thought to how what they're doing affects others. They just do what they want to do. If it impacts your quality of life they might say sorry when it's pointed out, but they're not really. What they really think is "Geez, what an a**hole". In this society we unfortunately live at the mercy of the lowest common denominator: the person who drives too slow in the left lane and won't move over, the person who brings the cranky kid to the restaurant, the person who wants to talk in the theater, or my new pet peeve, people who have their brightly lit phones open in the theater to text (f***ing distracting). Come on people. Can't we all give a little consideration to the unknown others we interact with in public? Think how much more pleasant are days would be.— August 4, 2008 4:32 a.m.
