"It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds."
Yeah, those are just things that have been overdone recently and will hopefully disappear just as quickly.

How about poker on TV. I'm sorry, but people playing cards just isn't that interesting.Originally Posted by Plakespear
stuff I'm tired of:
Reality shows
BCS whining
Julia Roberts
people spelling the word "lose" as "loose."
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.
Your right. I definately hate that one.Originally Posted by The AD
Because rich has nothing to do with money.
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

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.Originally Posted by Beaver
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?Originally Posted by TRock

Sorry for the rugby terms:Originally Posted by The AD
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.

I agree. I think they're fucked up.Originally Posted by Beaver

-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.Originally Posted by TRock

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.
"I smell varmint puntang."
Hummers and those that drive them
Metal Detector Commercials
adding izzle to everything
Trucker hats on girls with small heads
just a few off the top of my head
espn gets great ratings on 2 year old poker championships aired at 2 in the morning. scary.Originally Posted by FNG
i love playing hold 'em
fine
Entitled people, the folks that think the signs, etc apply to everyone else bu them.
"no Parking"
"4 wheel drive or chains REQUIRED"
"stay right except to Pass."
The people that come to Solitude and say " damn I cant believe there aren't more people here
Ashlee Simpson
the current administration

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.

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)
