Thanks, it's been at least 15 minutes and I was really missing it

That commercial jingle was based on this 70s one-hit-wonder by Pilot.



'Cause I thought you'd want to know.

There ought to be a law against assaulting my eyes at the Y.
Where do I begin? OK, I’m talking to the old dudes with the wrinkly ballsacks and hairy boobs who think it’s ok to just walk around the locker room like it’s the garden of Eden and want to hold a conversation with me about how great their workout was but now their arse-bone hurts. No sir - I’ve got problems of my own.

I think people stopping in an acceleration lane is grounds for use of a hood-mounted bazooka

And I really enjoy those that slow to a stop in the left lane to make a turn when there is a middle lane specifically for that purpose.

Im watching hurricane coverage and someone just called Milton a ‘once in a thousand years’ weather event.. can we please stop saying that, when 1) the climate volatility is only going to make places more unlivable in the next few years, so we can expect much more of this and 2) an event not drastically dissimilar (Helene) happened in the same place two weeks ago !

There ought to be a law against people who take vertical videos with their phone cameras. I can't imagine how mentally numb someone has to be to record a video of any event in a portrait (vertical) format. Every time I see a phone-recorded video that has been submitted to some news agency or other web-based platform and they have to add blurred sides to the media in order for it to fit a standard landscape screen, it makes me wonder how these wannabe camera operators have their TVs and computer monitors setup at their homes. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I can honestly say that I have never recorded a video vertically with my phone. I want the playback of my videos to fit properly on the devices that I (and most every normal person) use to watch such media.

Obviously I am not talking about still photos. There are times when it is appropriate to put the subject of a photo in a vertical format. But PLEASE people, please learn to rotate your phone camera 90 degrees before taking a video. In the long run you will be glad that you did and you will be doing your part to help keep me from blowing a gasket every time I see the evidence of someone who does not understand the best way to format a video. Thank you for your cooperation!

Sure that’s bad
But the criminal video action are those who take videos while clearly in a Meth high whilst simultaneously having a seizure
Keep your dang hands still, keep your character in frame and pan like you’re balancing water not like you’re trying to seat a fly
Also cut out the superfluous 45 seconds BEFORE anything interesting happens/ that’s worse than online recipes
Similarly, let the clip play 5-10 more seconds so we can see the fallout/reactions
All in all just do better

We obviously went to the same school.

Kind of like "highest paid QB in NFL history".

A restaurant that mixes mayo and catsup, call it a "secret sauce" GROSS!

Those folks watched too many episodes of The Jetsons.
They once had a tough character in that cartoon series that went by the name Knuckles Nucular (pronounced noo'-cue-ler)

I understand that George W. Bush watched that cartoon regularly.

People asking me if they can ask me a question. Once you’ve asked me if you can ask me a question, you’ve already done so.
Even if not at my daily limit of questions I’m willing to field, I find it rather rude and borderline criminal.

Now I think we understand the 'grumpy' part of your moniker.
