The Ranting Room

I live in the South, and I'm getting real  -ing tired of having to put up with all the pride associated with Civil War landmarks. How   -ing stupid do you have to be to take pride in a war you didn't win? I doubt if I go to Germany they've converted the gas ovens into   -ing rave clubs where the showers now emit foam. If I go to Hiroshima someone isn't gonna try to sell me a bottle of   -ing "Nuclear Hot Sauce: Megatons of Flavor". You   -ing lost, have some   -ing shame. Another thing: anything that survived the Civil War was unimportant. General Sherman's March to the Sea left Georgia burning. If a building remained unscathed it means that Sherman, the Erik the Red of American history, didn't give enough of a   to burning the   -ing thing down. Shut up and get thee to the nearest Wal-Mart and buy a gun to kill some deer.

That's another thing, why would a store that makes me want to kill myself have the audacity to sell   -ing firearms? That's a smart idea: making guns readily available near my college campus, especially around exam time. Is the clocktower included in my purchase, or does that come separately? And you can never get around the place because everyone trudges through the store with that empty look   -ing Vietnam vets have as their five unwanted, tax-relief children fan out across the aisle behind them.   -ing MOVE!

By the way.  Excuse my ignorance but what the hell does "pwn" mean???

In this manner, you will increase your vocabulary and be better able to communicate effectively in writing without the use of such irritating abbreviations. Hmph... and indeed, Bah!

Where's the king of rants, Jim Garten?

Languages change. Some people will be crabby about it and sit with arms crossed and say "Hrmph!" Oh well.

Take things a bit srsly much?

You, my friend, are what they called "owned", which, suffice to say, is not all that clear to a newcomer like you to comprehend.  It basically means that the poster feels that you have erred and feel so wonderfully enlightened and arrogant, they feel they have to actually tell you that you have erred... when in reality, you have likely not erred at all and thus, it makes them look stupid at the same time. Does that make more sense, Chris?

Maybe they were just hero worshipping Rolf Harris with the latter?
