    If those are on your list, I am sure it is much longer.

    Yeah, those are just things that have been overdone recently and will hopefully disappear just as quickly.

    I'm tired of Ugg boots. Unless they're on someone who's in the mountains.

    Goatees. It's over, guys.

    Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, Tara Reid - send them all back.

    Ice (not the man). It's time for EC resorts to get the message. I mean the boilerplate thing was cool for the past forty years but enough already.

    BTW I agree with everything else listed in this thread. It's time to take all of them back out behind the barn.
    Damn, we're in a tight spot!

    Yeah Hold'em out, I started playing more Omaha just to be trendy. Poker on TV is great, because the people who watch it then go online and proceed to give me all there money
    I resolve PC issues remotely. Need to get rid of all that pr0n you downloaded on your work laptop? Or did you just get a ton of viruses from searching for "geriatic midget sex"? Either way I can fix them. PM Me for maggot prices.

    My rugby team is full of engineers. They absolutely ruck and maul the shit out of the English language on e-mail, especially when using there, their and they're. It drives me nuts. But when the time comes to put up the goalposts, they're on top of their game.
    So I got that goin' for me...which is nice.

    As an engineer I resent that remark! However, I have to agree. Generally engineers suck at grammar and spelling. I will confess I've never seen the word "ruck" used before this post. Is that some kind of rugby term?

    Sorry for the rugby terms:

    Ruck - When a runner has come into contact with opponents and the ball has gone to the ground, players may bind themselves into a ruck. There must be at least three players bound.

    Maul - When a runner has come into contact with opponents and cannot advance the ball further, players may bind themselves into a maul. There must be at least three players bound.
    So I got that goin' for me...which is nice.

    Tired of...

    -People (especially my boyfriend) getting injured.
    -Those who ask stupid questions after you've spelled the answer out in black and white.
    -Not being able to ski on the weekend because of "bad" weather & road closures!!!!!

    Most of the engineers I played with had trouble speaking the language let alone spelling. They didn't play much better than anyone else, but I'll give them credit for being pretty handy around the keg though.

    I'm starving myself for my New Year's resolution.

    Hummers, the vehicle pervs.

    Soccer Mom's with one kid and an Excursion, Hummer or otherwise assanine (sp?) sized vehicle talking on the cell phone while driving in two lanes.

    Big-Box stores, Walmart, whatever, support your Mom and Pop's.

    The lack of Hockey.

    That the "world series of rock, paper, scissors" is aired more frequently and at better time frames than any WC skiing event. Dead serious on this has anyone else seen this shit? Who cares? What's next? Indian Burn championships?
    Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

    3rd hand from an ESPN exec is that ESPN gets paid big bucks to broadcast lesser sports like the PBA, Billiards, (formerly) Poker, and Magic the Gathering (seriously).

    Getting old:
    "I'm All In" apparell
    Hot Topic redneck-inspired fashion - John Deere Cowboy Hats...etc.
    Huge Belt Buckles
    Spinners
    The NBA
    Red Sox v. Yankees off-season banter
    Debate shows - even Sean Salisburry is doing it on NFL Tonight. PTI is the only good one.

    Damn, guess that means me.

    The word "sketchy" is used way too much, at least in NJ. I must hear it 200+ times a day. It should only be used to describe snowpacks or super exposed lines. Every time I hear it, I feel like choking the person that said it.

    People who hate skiing powder. Someone on my ski team was in Utah the week betwene Christmas and New Years when it dumped, and she said that she only skiied one day, because nothing was groomed and there was powder on all the runs.

    My school as a whole, the majority of people there are snooty, throw-away freaks whose parents can't stand them so they ship them to boarding school. I go as a day student, and hang almost exclusively with other day students because they're reasonably normal, but most boarders are the most irksome people I've ever met.

    Oh yeah, and New Jersey.

    That is the most god-awful show I have ever seen.

    also:

    - the fact that Gilbert Gottfried and William Shatner are still (occasionally) on TV.

    - Hollywood Squares

    - the new U2 song

    - people that tailgate the shit out of you on the highway and never pass.

    OH No you didn't!!!

    My first pair of Ugg boots came into my life in 1987....I remeber it like it was yesterday. My mother hated them, but promised to buy them for me if I helped clean the house. I wore them all the time (jeans, jean skirts, etc.) I got many strange looks (this was 1987).
    Those lasted for a few years until I tripped over a tent peg and tore a whole in the top of the left boot (and spilled the beer out of the beer bong).
    My next pair lasted for a long time and made it to Tahoe with me. We had so many good times together, slipping into them after softball (more like sloshball) and heading to the local meat market club in my tshirt, boxers and Uggs for the Friday Night mingle (again strange looks from the city folk).
    I lost that pair to Watson Lake (balance beam act on the floating log). I tried to salvage them, but they were gone. But hope was not lost, for under the Christmas Tree what did my eyes see? Yeah, pretty new Ugg boots. Thanks mom.

    Pretty much all of the above plus:

    All of the "trendy" people in school wearing North Face jackets
    The way english is taught in South Carolina (or at least my school)
    David closing at work
    People who whine and complain about EVERYTHING
    wearing socks
    People paying too much attention to details that make NO difference in the whole world

    theres probably more but like I said, I'm tired of people whine and complain about everything so I'll stop before I tire myself. (tire myself sounds kind of funny)
