The Off Topic Topic

Several years ago, I got a phone marketer selling magazines. She had such a sexy voice, and hot British accent, man I never bought so many magazine subscriptions in my life.

Makes you wonder why so few telemarketers have pleasant voices, doesn't it?  Does a good voice correlate with education, income, status?

When I called Sprint yesterday the customer service gal called me "sweetie", "honey", *and* "sugar".  I didn't tell my wife about it.

Dammit Sweetass, your thread had potential. But you put a pillow over its face. 

[derspiess]

You don't surrender to grumbler like that.  Only encourages him.

[Valmy]

Yeah come on Syt. I enjoy your crazy Russian articles.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah don't let that toolshed grumbler cause you to stop posting entertaining threads, Syt.  If that guy doesn't like something about it, especially enough that he starts whining about it, that really probably means you're doing something right.

Yeah, Syt, don't be so emo.  I made a suggestion to improve the board, like we did with youtube videos, that's all.  You don't need to pout and go all "I'll just cease posting news stories."

You do get fucking tiring sometimes though.

You being a jerkoff and shitting all over every thread where you get offended in some dumb fashion screws up the board a lot worse than some Pravda articles.

grumbler is an act of nature, like constipation.  The moral failing lies in the person who responds to his provocation.

New law in France: New buildings need solar panels or green roofs

France will never use Natural Gas or Coal if it kills them.

I always wonder if all the stress over lack of coal resources and obsession over trying to get the Saarland back in the day is the reason for it.
