They are NOT called "veggies", they are called "VEGETABLES"
Coffee is "coffee". Not "Java", "joe", "frapucino", "jizz", or anything else irritating with a big-ass "J" in it.

Memory is called "modules". Not "sticks". People are not building a campground fire.

It is called a "LCD monitor". Not "flat screen". They do make flat screen CRTs as well...

It is called a "computer". It is not "the hard drive", "main box", "the beige thing I stick my refrigerator magnets on with the complementary cupholder".

It is called "Microsoft logic". Not "blue screens of death", "program crashes", "exorbitant prices", "buggy insecure software", et cetera.

They are called "mobile phones". Not "cell phones", "portable cancer boxes", or anything else.

It is called "exploitation". Not "capitalism" or "free enterprise".

They are called "fascists" or, to be completist, "fascist religious fanatics". Not "republicans", not "neo-conservatives".

They are not "insurgents", "rebels", or "terrorists", they are people defending their country from invaders who have abused and tortured them.

When I see a restaurant or fast food commercial, why do they go out of their way to say "fresh"? 1. I demand fresh so this should be a given, not a privilege. 2. When I go to these places, I get fresh about 50% of the time. 10% when it's fast food (it isn't fast and it isn't food).

They are disposable, throw-away commodities meant to be thrown out when next year's better model comes in. They are not called "investments" nor "digital cameras". (35mm is ~20MP. Advantix crap film is ~3mp. Both capture shadows and fine details much better than any digital can...)

Anything else? :-)

7. So anyway....
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 11:40 AM by kanrok
Last night at dinner I had some asparagus. It's my favorite veggie. However, when I eat it late at night it upsets my tummy. So I had a hard time getting to sleep. I figured I wouldn't ever get to bed, so I fired up a pot 'o joe. I sat down in front of the 'ole "main box" and peered at my flat screen. My damned software (Microsoft, dontcha know) had a program crash. I got sick of that damned blue screen of death, and pissed that I paid exhorbitant prices for that BS buggy insecure software that I hopped on the 'ole portable cancer box (ya know, my "cell phone") and called Microsoft. One of those evil capitalist, free enterprise, fascist religious, fanatic republican, neo-conservative, insurgent-rebel phone service workers got on the horn. He wasn't very helpful, even intimating that I was "fresh." I ended the call by telling him that I hoped his digital camera has a glitch in it's hard drive. There, now I feel better.
