This ain't Dawgpix first rodeo, not by a long ways, Woof. The parents were out of line...way out of line.Quote:

sorry you didn't understand my full comments, woof. yes, I was official league photographer, paying them for the privilege. Was I right to be peeved?
Well, if no sign prohibiting photography was in the room and parents were let right in, it seems to me like this was set up like a first rodeo.Quote:

Okay, here's my new sign:
"Buy a photo package and you can take crappy, grainy pictures with your smartphone in the room's subdued lighting."
People who refuse to stop/pull over as a funeral procession passes in the opposite lane. disrespectful and rude.

City of Ruston deciding that since their system crashed they'd average your August-October bills to determine your November bill. August and September are always some of my highest bills. So my bill was over $100 more than it should've been. Not happy.
Lazy, all they had to do was pull last November's bills and extrapolateQuote:

mice are scary because by the time you realize you have one, you may have a whole family. that whole family can turn into a whole colony if you don't act fast. it is also sometimes very difficult to figure out how they got inside in the first place, the tiny little buggers.
well, i'm not going to let this little dude just stroll into my pantry, eat my slim jims, poop on the shelf and go back to sleep with his family in his cozy little insulation house. he takes his last bite of slim jim tonight.
I did say almost anything. Dumpcake is pure gold.Quote:

A little Tabasco spices it up nicely.Quote:

What is in all the others. Tabasco contains red pepper, salt and vinegar. Their green sauce contains all sorts of other stuff. I believe the Louisiana Hot Sauce is the same as regular Tabasco. Don't know about the others. Just looked it up and Sriracha and it contains the same with garlic, except it says a paste of chili peppers. What's in the paste? Evidently Sriracha is so hot its smell upsets the neighbors. Every year there's a new hottest pepper. One year it was habanero and now it's not. And there are always new hot sauces coming out. Everyone to his taste.

Sure, if you like sweeteners and preservatives in your sauce.Quote:

No one wants "ropey" gumbo.
"Gumbo" without okra is soup.Quote:

Some of you reading this may wonder why 2 UAB losses peeve me. Read the basketball forum to see how just one win on the trip would have changed Tech's tournament schedule.
A C-USA school that doesn't understand winning in football also doesn't seem to understand winning in basketball. They could have finished as high as #2 seed for the C-USA tournament, but they lose the 2 Florida games and finished as the 4th seed. Maybe their president should also get rid of basketball.
I put this on the peeve of the day thread even though this peeve is now in it's 3rd day. I won't be over it until Saturday afternoon when the Bulldogs raise the trophy.
amen and amen!!Quote:

To my #LATech fans griping about @CUSAMBK tourney in Birmingham, you do know Tech bid on it, right? That wouldn't be neutral, either. #HBTD
Like . . . Ruston is 65 miles from "our Bossier City, the "Tech" bid site. Either have it at No. 1 or have it at true neutral sites.
