I hate car culture. Especially deep-throated, sound-enhancing mufflers used as mating calls. Please evolve.

There is no monolithic car culture. And they're not mating calls, they're more like the antlers on a buck -- a passive challenge to everyone around them. Or they just get a kick from the sound.

People who use the word "logic" interchangeably with the words "reasonable", "considerate" and "likely". Also, people who use the word "logic" in arguments and/or reasonings as some sort of validation for their own stance aswell as invalidation of the opposing side's.


Amen to that, though I don't encounter it much in "the real world."

My list:

I hate selfishness.
I hate dishonesty.
I hate arrogance.
I hate people who lack empathy.
I hate when people won't answer simple questions (bad for a politics junkie like me).
I hate when people don't pay attention to what they're doing.
I hate when people won't talk about the elephant in the room.
I hate how rarely people have the means to do what they want with life.
I hate how disrespectful humans are of nature.
I hate how disrespectful people are to each other.
I hate how often we find ourselves feeling all alone, when there are six billion people out there.
I hate when people act certain about things that they couldn't possibly be certain of.

Oh, and I hate parmesan cheese. That shit smells like puke.

My favorite part will always be when he suggests they use Stapples to attach antlers to the mice!
... or was that another Scrooge movie???

the hooves hurt much more than the antlers.

Lucky he didn't get gored with those antlers.

Look, moose-hunting is basically an execution. The hunter (usually with a professional guide) basically walks up to the poor, dumb beast - who has been patiently waiting - and blows it away. The hardest parts are the long slog thru the marsh to get there and longer slog back (assuming hunter collects some stew meat in addition to the antlers). Sarah Palin, moose-blaster, is no more impressive than Sarah Palin, Gov of AK or Sarah Palin, prayer-meister summoning up God's support of a $30B gas pipeline project. Does an image of an assault rifle-carrying woman scare me? Absolutely not, but as V.P. she scares the Hell outta me. I'm a middle-aged white male who IS NOT voting for the guy who most resembles me. OBAMA IS DA MAN!!

You were right to downvote my comment, KP. and I'm glad you did. That was not a civil tone. I've been talking to Choggie since then, and have great hopes for peace. He really does like you. He said a lot of nice things. He considers you worthy of bashing antlers, and that means something. I'm sorry I said you and he suck. It was an emotional response and usually I can get those in check. This whole thing is frankly a little upsetting.

Again, my apologies.

From Wikipedia; "The series began with the pilot Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Production began in February 1958 with the hiring of voice actors June Foray, Paul Frees, Bill Scott, and William Conrad. Eight months later, General Mills signed a deal to sponsor the cartoon, under the condition that the show be run in a late-afternoon time slot, where it could be targeted towards children. Subsequently, Ward hired most of the rest of the production staff, including writers and designers. However, no animators were hired, since Ward was able to convince friends of his at Dancer, Fitzgerald, & Sample — an advertising firm that had General Mills as a client — to buy an animation studio in Mexico called Gamma Productions S.A. de C.V. (formerly known as Val-Mar Animation.) This outsourcing of the animation for the series was considered financially attractive by General Mills, but caused numerous problems. Bill Scott, when interviewed by animation historian Jim Korkis in 1982, described some of the problems that arose in the production of the series:
We found out very quickly that we could not depend on the Mexico studio to produce anything of quality. They were turning out the work very quickly and there were all kinds of mistakes and flaws and boo-boos. They would never check. Mustaches popped on and off Boris, Bullwinkle's antlers would change, colors would change, costumes would disappear. By the time we finally saw it, it was on the air."[citation needed]

I'm amazed he didn't get gored by that sharp rack of antlers.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I always thought that's what the antlers were for.
