How is a raven like a writing desk?

Irrational waste-of-time pet peeve #205: Inaccurate online quizzes. Especially "humourous" quizzes in which the questions are clearly slanted in a particular direction (especially when it's not political satire, or clever), or quizzes that in 10 questions attempt to discern sexual identity or religious belief. And yet I still take them.

These are the sorts of things that bug me when my grandmother's in the hospital and I'm freaking out about money and life choices. It's much easier to get upset with the anonymous (and likely 13-year-old) author of a stupid quiz than with the fact that my grandmother is sick. It's just about as productive, though. Don't worry, I'm plenty mad at myself, too. shipbuilding knows: if bad things happen, they are my fault. Unless they're hers.

i thought bad things happen when you touch yourself down there?

Bad things happen all the time. That is but one of many ways to make bad things happen. You can also think bad thoughts, or say bad things, or touch someone else down there, or be mean or be selfish or be thoughtless or swear.

I have done most of these things recently. Plus there was that one time, at God camp, when Eve at the apple. That's really why bad things happen. Because women are evil.

Little known fact: Sarah Newby's illicit nighttime touching is the reason why the White Sox haven't won the World Series since 1917.

Deena, however, is responsible for the decline of pittsburgh and detroit as centers of industry. *That's* how much of an onanist she is.

hehehehe

my oxford english dictionary says "onanist" means "coitus interruptus."

which is now the new name for my new band.

i have the same problem with quizzes. it's like i'm deliberately trying to irritate myself by taking them. much the same effect can be had by watching reality tv shows, especially Girls Next Door, if you are looking at expanding your repertoire of things to irritate you unnecessarily.

Or arguing on the internet! Yeah!
