Lots of douchbaggery in pittsburgh lately...

[illusionofjoy]

The busybody basement-dwellers are crawling out of the woodwork on pittsburgh, it seems. You know the type: too much time on their hands, too interested in the lives of others to bother concerning themselves with their own business.

Exhibit A: whiny vegan thinks that a "No fishing for carp" sign means no fishing altogether and is shocked, shocked to discover that the authorities don't give a shit if people fish for other species in the pond to which the sign refers. Finally, she reveals her true reasons for the post in a comment: "Personally, I'm vegan. I'd like to see people not be allowed to kill fish anywhere." Translation: "I'm a douchebag who wishes to impose my beliefs and way of living upon everyone else and I'm just using the community and this sign as a flimsy veggie-headed pulpit."

Exhibit B: Mr. Shit-Don't-Stink is offended by the odors coming off the bodies of some of the patrons of - it is later revealed - a Goth club. He helpfully suggests that people bathe and put on deodorant before showing up, even going so far as to quote De La Soul for impact. Of course, this douchebag completely overlooks the inherit problems of clubs: small spaces + physical activity + smoke = sweating and stink. Add to the equation that there are a whole lot of velvet or vinyl-clad asses on that dancefloor and there's bound to be some body odour, for those truly getting their groove on. Even those who aren't dancing up a storm will stink of cigarettes just by virtue of being in the club, so fucking deal with it, Mr. Perfume Farts.

Frankly, people make me sick and if I had one wish it would be the ability to take a two by four to the skulls of those I deemed too useless to live with impunity. The world is full of meddlers, busy-bodies and tut-tutting moralists who need to get the fuck over themselves and leave the rest of us alone!

On the other hand, that fish post was good entertainment while I waited for my dinner to be done.

And I kind of understand where Exhibit B is coming from -- but only with general body odor. A club is different, though, in that it's kind of inevitable. I really wish I had had that post yesterday on the 500 to show to the guy sitting next to me who smelled like some unholy combination of stale chicken wings, pizza, and "stuff".

Sorry, I got stuck on "Mr. Perfume Farts". I'm laughing too much to read the rest. :-D

Seth Seth Seth.

Where were you when they were jumping up my ass about the fucking midgets??

Does that offend you? Because along with Dai, you'll be sharing the stage with one.

If that offended me, you'd have your deposit back by now. Frankly, I think people were way out of line for getting on your case about that. There's a reason I generally refrain from commenting in that community - people get their collective shorts in a twist way too easily and I generally want no part of it. Sometimes, though, I get too pissed off at the idiocy and just can't resist telling people what I really think.

So, unless you decide otherwise, I'm still providing my services for your wedding. Of course, I have to admit that I am slightly intimidated by the degree of awesomeness that will be surrounding me. :)

My odour wish is that certain co-workers would bathe using regular soap and water, not gallons of cheap perfume. My sinuses need to stay open so I can breathe and I do so hate when my eyes burn. :P

Dai IS awesome, isn't he? I'm sure you will be just as awesome!

I know what Exhibit B thing you're talking about, well I know of a recent night at the 'goth club'. But yeah there was a kid there recently that really smelled. I know I mentioned to a close friend that he could use some deodorant or something, but this was after I listened to about 15 people say something about it. I had thought about offering him some of my cologne. I understand people are going to sweat and stuff but you could smell that from 15 feet. It's not even that bad on a friday there and it's 8 times more busy.


On another note: I haven't gone carp fishing in forever!
But then again, we used to go 'carp hunting'
Think Geneva Swamps with Canoes, bow & arrows (made for fishing they have thinker stronger fishing line on the arrows).
It's really interesting to row a canoe standing up BTW.

But yeah those carp will drag your canoe half way across the swamp.

I also responded to the person making the whiny post.

I informed her that usually one uses a boat or a canoe with a bow and arrow to catch carp.

Maybe if she did some research in how one goes about catching carp she would have not made an ass out of herself.
