College kids who say "no worries" whenever I apologize or explain something sort of difficult. It's not so much the phrase as it is how dismissive and bullshit it always sounds. It's like they weren't really listening to you.

Maybe you shouldn't be such a prick and should just accept it when someone shrugs off your misdeeds. Would you rather they begrudged it?

I have this pet peeve where I'm not having sex with Keeley Hawes or John Barrowman, together or separately. It really irritates me.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I'm pretty okay with not having sex with Philip Glenister tho, so we're okay on that front.

New pet peeve:

When I have beer, and drink it, but run out and find myself unable to drink more beer.

I think I need to work my way up to him. John Barrowman -> John Simm -> Philip Glenister.

And now everyone can sleep soundly knowing what order I'd sleep with some guys on British television. You're all welcome.

That's the worst. Well, second worst. First worst would be running out of beer and then getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick.

Yeah, you gotta graduate. Philip Glenister is a lot of man to take at once.

Actually, the worst is when you go to the store to buy a beer and end up raped by mimes. Just ask Beaneater.































He's a mime.

People who self-reverentially characterize themselves as "bohemian".






Wait, no...wrong thread. That belongs in the Stab It Until It's Reduced to a Gelatinous Goo thread. :evil:

For a jazz-loving poet I don't have the bohemian temperament at all.
