Speaking of telly, The Discovery Channel has really gone down the shitter. When it first started it had cool things like Mythbusters and Capturing Hitler's Secret Shark.

Now it's just bearded men in Alaska shouting at each other with loads of false jeopardy.

'Craig has lost the cap for this toothpaste, without it, the toothpaste might go bad and if that happens...he can't brush his teeth. And if he can't brush his teeth, the season is over'.

Shite.

Not sure what channel it's on but Ice Road Truckers is total toss.

Yes, I get it. It's icy and snowy and you have to drive your lorry.

So?

I see adverts all the time for something that seems to be about storage units?
What the f**k is that? The ad is just a load of people shouting at each other about a f**king storage unit. IT ANGERS ME.

oh its a marvel these Americans buy abandoned storage units and then paw through other peoples shit

It's like nosy neighbour heaven

they had one where someone was storing albino pythons

American Chopper is the show that was the beginning of the end and to be fair, even I watched a couple of series of it.

Ohh okay, that does sound a little bit better than what I was imagining.

Still, put shouty people on an advert and then repeat it constantly and I will never ever watch your show.

Now this is a thread I can appreciate!

Obviously I know I'm late to the party, as always.

Someone mentioned 'just saying'. F**k me does that get my goat, llama, sheep, ungulate animal farm, etc. Mainly because usually when you see 'just saying' written, it is usually preceeded by some kind of inaccurate bigoted sound-bite sweeping generalisation, such as:
'those people are all fat, just saying'.
I see racist shiz on YouTube all the time like this. The fact the author imagines that by adding 'just saying' adds some kind of genius literary flair to 'seal the deal' only serves to exacerbate their total lack of understanding of the meme they are pitifully trying to appropriate. I'm no meme expert but I'm fairly sure the use of 'just saying' is supposed to compound the author's deliberate highlighting of a completely unrelated fact in order to highlight a completely different point that is actually the intended target of their satire, such as:
"all those people didn't seem to have any problem finding the express till at macdonalds earlier, just saying".
It's about pretending not to make a point by feigning ignorance and deflection, but actually trying really hard to make a point. It's a horrid way of being funny even when it is done correctly. Say No to 'just saying' for everyones sake.

:edit: I just learned the word 'ungulate' the other day and I'm very impressed with myself and I'm damn well gonna take every opportunity to use it.

I blame the Belgians for all the racism on Facebook

You're absolutely sure it's not the zebras?

One of these days when those black and white f**kstrels rise upon their hooves

My llama bag split open when it ungluated.

'Just saying' is the modern equivalent of 'with all due respect.'

To call back to the first few posts, I don't hate tourists. They're here for a while, they spend money, they go home and we get new sidewalks. We need tourists.

There are plenty of locals, however, I could do without. For example, there's a man who lived at the homeless shelter where I spent most of 2011 until I got back on my feet. He was so dangerously overweight that he needed government assisted financing to get stomach staple surgery. In the meantime he had no problem walking down to the corner market to buy junk food and cigarettes with his government benefits.

Here's a clue. Eat a f**king vegetable and go for a slightly longer walk.

It wasn't on one of the Storage Hunters type TV programs but the Lotus used by James Bond as a car and submarine turned up in an abandoned storage unit sale in the States and was subsequently sold off in an open auction for a fortune.

:O

It pisses me off that one eating disorder is treated with bile and vitriol and acceptable bigotry but the other eating disorders are treated as sympathetic causes full of victims free from blame.

Yep, if they're anorexic or bulimic, people rally round to shower the pancake dodgers with compassion and sensitivity, praising them for being brave as they struggle through their harrowing problem.

But when people have an eating disorder that makes them fat, then they're a bunch of weak willed, evil bastards and must be shot.

'Hey anorexic bitch, eat a f**king burger, I don't want my tax money paying for your medical treatment, you skinny c**t!'
