message 551: by Macky (new)

Macky (mactut) I'm terribly sad and aggrieved that my old and beloved campfire song has been mistaken for profanity. It is a sweet natured and slightly cheesy old favourite amongst the camping fraternity! You all need some sort of dirty mind cleansing enema to wash the filth from your warped and twisted minds. You know who you are!! Spoogebaya .... Shame on you Danni!

I'm quite piqued that you of all people would use that against me ! I seem to remember something to do with Monkeys and bodily fluids coming from your warped and twisted mind......hmmmmmm!!

Ticked that I don't understand what's wrong with "man up dick"? If the order of the words was reversed I could see the problem.


message 555: by Danni (new)

Danni | 248 comments Absolutely true story: My son's science teacher tried to convince the class that a jizzbaya monkey was a real animal that lives in the Amazon rainforest. Talk about warped and twisted (but quite funny) minds! I don't think he's still teaching. Too old skool.

Now I'm peeved because that's a great story.

Katharina | 106 comments I'm incredibly annoyed that I'm not the one who had the uberawesome idea for this group. I'm especially resentful that I didn't find it before today, although people have been complaining here for over a week. How come nobody mentioned this to me before? - I'm hurt, really really hurt. Complaining is the next best thing to do besides sleeping and eating after all.


message 559: by [deleted user] (new)

I am so peeved that I don't have the words to express my joy. A Life Apart has been selected as the unrestricted BOM for March! This victory for our member Roger was due in a large part to the votes of the M/M Romance group members who are also members of the Complaint Department.

Thank you everyone! I thank you. My fiancé thanks you! May parents thank you. My future in-laws thank you! The doorman of our apt. building thanks you! (I was so happy I gave him a big tip) Roger Kean and his life long partner Oliver Frey thank you! Roger's Aunt Jean and Uncle Neil Thank you!. And a special thanks from Richard and Edward the heroes and loving couple whose story fills the pages of A Life Apart.

I'm narked to have to indirectly thank you for you wise words, "Complaining is the next best thing to do besides sleeping and eating after all. "

Welcome to the Complaint Department. If you don't want others to suffer the same fate as befell you in not knowing they can come here to blow their tops or at least let off a little steam, invire your friends to join you here.

That goes for all my irritable, bitchy fine outstanding fellow members and co-complainers, invite your friends and they will no doubt gratefully complain about you for having done so!

Yeah! I mean, umm, dude, I am totally vexed that we helped get the book that you so nicely pimped out to the members of this group...Now I have to go look to see when your drawing is for the free book.


message 562: by Katharina (new)

Katharina | 106 comments I'm disgruntled that many people were thanked just now but I wasn't since I didn't vote for the book since it turned out to be too late for that since I saw the poll only after it was closed.

Also the number of "since"s in my post is ridiculous and makes me look stupid which I abhor. I'm still glad that A Live Apart has been selected which irritates me to no end.

I hate the fact that I like that you share that sentiment. I also understand that you are suffering from your happiness about the book poll. Happiness is for people that are too lazy to seek flaws.

Kendra (book_lover_too) | 337 comments "Yeah. More snow. I'm so excited," she says with a total lack of enthusiasm. In fact, there may have even been a not-small amount of disdain.

This is a quote from my brain as I gaze out my window.

Breann I wish I had seen the snow in Tucson, but I missed all 5 inches of it. I missed winter last week, now it's summer :)

Elizabetta | 51 comments We need rain, I love snow. It is a gloriously 64 deg. sunny outside. Hate me now, harumph.


message 570: by Breann (new)

Breann I really am annoyed that I have to suffer through 63 degrees right now. It's too cold for me! I'm wearing a jacket & a scarf while inside. I could never live where there's snow. It's neat to see and experience maybe once.

I'm really pissed now Elizabetta because now Kim (who seems to be changing into an old man ) will expect all her complaints converts to give her annoying hugs and PDA's. humbug! Grudging thanks Kim but I'm not supporting your ebenezer Scrooge style sex change, I prefer you as a possum!

Every year during winter I try to convince my husband we should move to California where I grew up and every year he looks at me like I am crazy. I really don't like the snow, it was nice the first time I saw it, when I was 9 and thought I could bring some home in a jar with me. Now, not so much.

I'm pissed that Elizabetta needs rain and since I live in Oregon I'd like to let you borrow some of ours. Please, for the love of God, take some of our f&%$*ing rain!


message 574: by Katharina (new)

Katharina | 106 comments I'm irritated that there are so many people to offer up rain - that's what I want to do! We have sooooo much of it...


message 575: by Elizabetta (new)

Elizabetta | 51 comments Soooo ticked off that we can't have some of your rain Shannon. You can't imagine how this truly cheezes me off, like...MacD's Big Mac supremely cheezy nacho doritos cheezed off.

dang, it's lunch time. Gosh darn it, I HAVE to go eat something.


message 576: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (pokey36) Well crap, now I'm supremely annoyed that Elizabetta has made me hungry for junky food that I can't have! Meaner :)

Elizabetta | 51 comments Well, so put out that I had a simple tuna sandwich and carrot sticks for lunch. Not a bit of cheese to be found. If you don't count the book I'm reading now, that is.

I am peeved to find out that I like and believe that this quote is true
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Message by Cmbwey Feb 26, 2013 06:14am
I am piqued that lately when buying electronic books, I am finding the books are short stories. A book should have substance to it--it should be more that "we met, there is angst, then sex, and then HEA. There is nothing worst than getting interested in a story, only to find that it ends.

I'm highly irritated that I'm not nearly as excited about today being hump day as I was when I thought it was yesterday.

Danni | 248 comments I am positively fuming that Cmbwey thinks that writers should waste their precious time writing big old long books for him to read when they would rather be watching porn.

I'm annoyed that l don't know what hump day is.

ETA l'm a little bit eggy that l've had to edit this post because l spelled Cmbwey's name wrong which might have annoyed him.


message 583: by Danni (new)

Danni | 248 comments I'm incredibly miffed that Cmbwey has spent so much time reading when he really should have been watching porn. What a waste :-(


message 584: by Macky (last edited Feb 27, 2013 10:35AM) (new)

Macky (mactut) I'm really miffed because I had to go out and have lunch today so I've missed all of these very serious and important complaints. Who's watching porn and where is it being watched - only asking so I can avoid it at all costs of course. Might have known the jizz monkey woman and Mr Cumbaya are involved! Tsk!


message 585: by Breann (new)

Breann Porn! I'm annoyed because now I want to go scope out some NSFW threads but I can't since I'm at work.

Ditto, Ijeoma, some people stoop very low. Hope they feel ashamed, but unfortunately if they're brazen enough to do that they probably don't care. Perhaps they should be named and shamed ? I feel hurt for Monique and Becs.

Monique just told us that someone is plagiarising her reviews. Monique and Becs have a website where they review books (Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews) as well as on Goodreads and someone on Goodreads is plagiarising them. It is quite sad that someone could stoop so low and it is also silly.


Rissa (an M/M kinda Girl!!) (rissa79) I'm so aggravated that I am so flippin cold! The furnace isn't kicking on and it's now down to 61 in my house. BRRRRR!

I'm stymied (is that whiny enough to count, I wonder?) by your uncouth ability tu turn a phrase ... that's so annoyingly wittily put. I'm still muttering grumpily about the huge smile that put on my face.


message 593: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I feel compelled to add to the raucous chorus of disapproval spearheaded by Cmbwey and Lucas, descrying the complete failure of my composure occasioned by the previous 20-odd, distressingly snappy comments that have rolled over this thread like an unpleasant downpour, forcing me to witness myself rolling around the dusty slovenlyness of my bare floor in helpless, uncontrollable barks of laughter ... despite the fact that I am - seriously - having a lousy day and feel too crappy to live.

And I hate run-on sentences, adverbial excesses, redundant multiple adjectives, and dangling participles - being the worst kind of carelessness I am congenitally incapable of them myself, or I'd leave the room fuming --- oh, and pop-ups with vapid and arbitrary rules in Indian Yellow that prevent me from seeing whether the previous couple of comments contain any other nerving snarkiness I could whine about in response.


message 594: by Goesta (last edited Feb 27, 2013 12:22PM) (new)

Goesta And now in reference to my previous post I must needs report what just happened, since it is a perfect example of how my deplorable day has been going as well as of the wretched inability to nest posts by response, which I complain about at great lengths elsewhere to people who probably won't listen anyway:

I was (truly) annoyed to realize that, thinking I was responding in the present moment to a series of posts somewhere below a pretend-discussion of the oscars, I was actually stuck in a timewarp and that the thread had meanwhile inconsiderately moved about three pages past where I was. So that now no one will ever be able to tell (me included) what offense to god-given seriousness caused my painful outburst of prone hilarity.

Even worse, I thereby -- aside from embarrassing myself due to the fault of another, who has yet to be discovered in order to be given a deserved earful -- utterly missed the victory celebrations of our Mod who has so blatantly made a mockery of the democratic process, so that I didn't even think to offer him my grudging congratulations until this moment.

I am chagrined to be feeling so happy and relieved that his miserably ploy worked despite my pig-headed noble refusal to take any part in it and find myself -- how *dials up thesaurus* vexatious -- at this very moment to promise in the future to be his willing slave in any other harebrained scheme of his making because he is just so *click ... click* gallingly adorable.

Oh my, I now feel utterly displeased because my vocabulary seems utterly insufficient compared with this firework of eloquent goodness. The only solution, I fear, is to take a thesaurus and learn it by heart. Which is a thoroughly boring and frightening prospect. (... Or I could, following some of the earlier comments, leave the world of writing and words alone and go watch porn. Actually, that doesn't sound so bad... :D)

I'm also disgusted that anyone would even think about plagiarising reviews. That's just seriously nasty and hideous behaviour.

Goesta Ijeoma wrote: "Monique just told us that someone is plagiarising her reviews. ."

That really is reprehensible. To not be intelligent enough to plagiarize the book as well so that one can reveal one's true asininity by then proceeding to review oneself, using someone else's words.

(irritating how someone like myself, with such evident eloquence -- remarked upon by so few -- as well as rugged good looks -- remarked upon by no one except, tangentially, our venerable Mod -- could get side-tracked and lose sight of what's truly important -- other than my own disquietude)

I am aggravated that Goesta Struve-Dencher is so erudite, scholarly and plain brainy that he can speak two languages better that I can speak just one. I think that makes him so sexy arrogant above my intellectual plateau (which is "dumb jock") that I hesitate to even be on the same planet as he.
