Now the others I'm fine with but to me that looks realy wrong. I can't avoid reading it as the dog chewed it is tail.
This still doesn't explain why I almost always write photos photo's.

When you have been rude and threatening to a woman and her boyfriend becomes aggressive, you should apologize to her, not to him.

Crass are a punk band. Come on, even if you haven't heard of them, what other genre of music wuld have a band whose name means "coarse, crude and abrasive"?

by **hjordis** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:55 am UTC

(My friend and I, in response to the other two* people in our group, who asked how we were supposed to make the rice krispie treats.)

"You follow the directions on the Rice Krispies box."
"Yes, we're sure."
"Yes, for the third time, we're sure that if you follow the directions on the Rice Krispies box you will get rice krispie treats, which are what we're supposed to be making."

*Okay, that's weird. I typed 2, but when I post it says 3.

Heavy metal?

by **OBrien** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:33 am UTC

Nah, they tend to go for more "I can kick the shit out of you" or "I can use magic o kick the shit out of you" type names. I suppose grindcore would too, but I've always argued that that's closer to punk than metal.

by **hjordis** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 3:13 am UTC

Oh wait, I see the new General link now. Thanks.

Silastic- Oddly enough... yes, yes I do.

Reminded about this by an old post in the thread:
"Yes, that's my mailing address." "Yes, I know the difference between a physical address and a mailing address. Mine are the same."
You'd think by the time I'm in high school they'd stop asking me that, but no. Last time I was filling out a standardized test form I still got asked that. And for an AP test too.

No, not all Germans are Nazis who hate Jews and foreigners. Also, they don't run around shouting "Achtung" and "verboten" all day.

On a similar note: No the British do not use the euro or even worse the dollar or even worse than that the euro-dollar. Also we DO NOT all live in london because the whole of Britain does not equate to just London you know.

But yours is a lot worse. People don't tend to say what they really think of the brits to my face.

Edit: Nice word filter there.

I don't get how that was putting them on a pedestool? I was just saying their name is obviously a punk one.
Also, the band members they did all their political activisim under the name Crass too, so that's just factualy wrong.
Also also, I have a friend at work who loves The Streets to the point where she snobs most other music as being "not as good as The Streets". I find this ridiculously ironic.

No, no, don't worry about that. I was typing in Japanese before and I couldn't be bothered to switch keyboard layouts. Occasionally my Japanese keyboard layout goes wonky when I try to type in English though.

4 days? I remember it being a lot longer than that.

by **Jessica** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:51 pm UTC

At most a week. It's really until they get bored.
