Campbells prediction of the week:

BallHawk will have his own headset within 5 years, though it will be 2 or 3 more before he embarrasses himself at the grocery store with it.

I can't stand the damn "chirp" of the Nextel phones. I was at the store once and this guy was having a conversation on it. As I'm sure you all know, when using the walkie-talkie feature, you can hear the whole conversation. well, this went on for like 5 minutes, he was just pacing up and down the isles talking. Finally I said "sir, do we ALL need to hear your conversation?" This one lady goes "Amen, sista" hehe.

I have a friend who worked at the service counter at a dept store. It was after Xmas, so the lines were of course very long. This lady was next in line and she had the nerve to tell my friend to "hold on a minute". So my friend says "can I help the next in line please"....well, I guess this lady threw a fit because basically she lost her place in line. the manager had to be called and well, this lady got pushed to the end of the line.

Ok, cell phone rant #3..... my boss was interviewing someone and their cell phone went off. She told my boss to "hold on" while she proceeded to answer her phone and told her friend that she was in an interview and they would have to talk later. Think that girl got the job? Negative, Ghostrider!

I don't think it's so much that we're annoyed with cell phones, I think it's the whole etiquette factor, er, lack of that most people posess.

Rant number 2- Kids that think their superior to others because they spend more money on clothes. Now I like the preppy clothes, Hollister, A&E, etc. But I don't put all my money on it. I put it towards useful things. There's a store called Aeropostale which sells the same style of clothing, just at a much cheaper price. Of course, the spoiled brats regard this as "wanna be preps." They think that they have to spend more money for it to be cool; even though the shirts are made in the same sweatshop in Nicaguara, with the same material and just have different names stiched on it. The youth of today...

ballhawk, are you sure you didn't have a dislexic moment when you said you were 14....and meant to say 41?

You ought to be commended for being a very good kid! John Collins & all!

BallHawk. You kill me.

May I hang with YOU?

[FavreChild]

My rant is that my local FOX affiliate is NOT airing the Packer/Bear game! I mean, c'mon!! There are only three games to choose from:

GB/CHI
JAX/DAL
SF/ARI

Those stupid SOBs!!

And before you start lecturing me about Sunday Ticket, that is not an option for me. I live in a wooded area that cannot receive the satellite feed. I almost didn't move here due to that fact. But what can I do about it?? Not a damn thing.

So, to a crappy sports bar with no sound I go.

Why of course Woody, shall I suggest we meet for a meal at Gibby's in Old Montreal. BYOW!

I know your pain. That's what I had to do until I had a kid and dTV became a bit more mandatory. We used to take a radio in case we didn't have sound.

[Iron Mike]

thank you SO much for bringing that damn picture of that disgusting bug on to this page, Woody!

Are you blaming the wrong guy??

<==someone here misses his corgi......

Here's the point, BH....a little geography lesson:

Next time you see someone wearing a t-shirt that says "Hollister Beach Wear," you can have a little laugh because here's the truth....

Hollister is located about 25 miles from any kind of beach:

And the closest beach is in Watsonville......trust me, you DON'T want to swim there.

My back is frickin killing me and I'm out of pain killers.
