  1. Here's one I had to encounter today: People who park their cars at the gas pump, don't bother fueling their car and spends several minutes getting their cigarettes or snacks before returning to their car to start pumping! 5 cars around me got filled in the time idiot in front of me started pumping and I couldn't back up because someone pulled up behind me so I was stuck for close to 15 minutes waiting for this guy to return with his snacks. Also there were other people in the car, his wife and kids I assume, so why didn't she start the pump?
  2. @Calderis isn't that all of us on a work day? For me the number for the next day is higher because I'm currently doing something that's very tedious.
  3. When a contest/sweepstakes has exceptions. You know how many I've avoided because the only way to enter to have a twitter or Facebook account? Then there's the ones where it's US residents only, barring Puerto Rico citizens despite them being closer to us than Hawaii. Also sometimes we have friends or family living overseas and want to have them be our #2 but because they don't live here they can't participate! Why can't they make exceptions to the rule on that one?
  4. @Sunbird Those are such pretty quails!
  5. I didn't say I didn't like the answer, just noting you picked an easy target.
  6. Pretty much I have an idea for modernizing some of the fairy tales out there. Here's some of the stories I have: Cinderella: In my version Cinderella is a gay man living in Southern California during the late 90's. His stepmother would hate him for a reason that has nothing to do with him being gay at all but for another reason while his stepsisters would actually like him and accept him as their brother. The fairy godmother would be surprised that the latest Cinderella situation is happening to a guy. Beauty and the Beast: pretty much the genders are flipped and would take place during the golden age of Hollywood with the Beast herself being a former starlet who would've been the next Monroe if her holier than thou personality hadn't angered the wrong person. Beauty himself would be working for her as a butler who needs the money badly and doesn't put up with her temper. Pretty much I want to see how different the story is if the roles are reversed. The Little Mermaid: I'm thinking this should be turned into a Greek tragedy story since there's enough there to make the sea witch into a goddess, the prince being from one of the Greek isles and the mermaid being a siren. There could be others that would be more on the short story end like Goldilocks (having her be the villain be way more obvious by having it in the modern era and being arrested for breaking and entering and vandalism of a poor family known as the Bears).
  7. Isn't a GOT character a little easy since about 90% of them are horrible people? The one character I'd kill only requires a warm fire, on a hot sunny day in the middle of summer and that is Olaf, the most annoying snowman in the world!!!
  8. Are there any characters, doesn't have to be Brandon made, that you would kill if you ever met them?
  9. Any characters, Brandon made or otherwise, that you would kill?
  10. Got an alternate for: Final Fantasy 3 Final Fantasy 6
  11. This was my first time listening to Janet. She's got to be one of the rare black artists I respect since I don't care for the ones that act like douches (Kanye), are rappers (that's my least favorite genre) or have the persona of gangsta. I love that she shows that she's powerful without resorting to the cheap methods that the likes of Madonna go.
  12. "Uncle Iroh. He was, well, inspired by Appa and thought that it would help people from other nations get places faster than by boat and cart. After all, you guys led me on a chase for the better half of two years and I was always weeks behind."
  13. I had to deal with that so much during high school. My classmates thought I was dumb to be reading when they were going around watching Dora the Explorer and Spongebob. Heres a work related peeve: Would anyone consider it good business practice to not update a schools student count? One of the publishers keeps sending us way to many student consumables and we have a hard time finding a place to store the extras. It's like the situation goes "So School A has 600 students. Let's send them 600 every year! *1 year later* Student count down by 50%? Must be a typo, sending 600!"
  14. I like it. I like that he takes different concepts, like metal and color, and applies logic to make it work like it would in the real world. I'm a Pepsi man, though my favorite is Dr Pepper Thats a toughie. I'll give three different answers, my favorite series, my favorite non cosmere Brandon book and my favorite non cosmere non Brandon book: Harry Potter, Alcatraz (the only book he's written out of the Cosmere I've read so far) and Doctor Who: Engines of War (it was interesting reading a man who is normally for peace become someone made for war and getting tired of the fighting). Of course the Cormoran Strike books by Robert Galbraith are pretty fun to read. If I can make it through the middle books of WOT I can handle 200-300 pages of slowness.
  15. I think it's pretty interesting. Already got to Allrienne's introduction and she reminds me so much of Glinda from Wicked. I also like learning more on the classical era plus the info on the Kandra.
  16. very interesting reactions
  17. The fact my mom can't figure out what a solar eclipse is. The other day she thought it was when the sun got brighter! I've had to explain to her a few times already how it works and today she asked if it was the sun not rising at all. Way to listen.
  18. Forgot this one Dissidia Final Fantasy Dissidia Final Fantasy 012 American Mcgee's Grimm
  19. Some people do though. When doing a genetics background Jew is on that list.
  20. I was trying to remember all the characters but couldn't think who I was missing. I got most of them at least.
  21. "Thanks for remembering who taught you to firebend Avatar." Zuko says with a glare
  22. I don't know anyone's race here fyi
