Personally, I think this woman got off easy. Needless car horn honking is wrong. WRONG. And people who do it deserve stern punishment.

I hate the sound of car horns.

Melissa | 74 comments what about that lame sound that comes from Toyota trucks (girly)
A truck horn should be manly. When I hear it, it doesn't upset me, I just feel bad for that person.


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

This woman is a twat. A chicken-hoarding twat. I say her punishment is we shove her head under the hood of her car and just push down on the horn for 30 minutes without pause.

That'll teach her.

Melissa | 74 comments Gus has some thoughts on this subject. I wonder what he would do if her dog pooped on his lawn?


message 5: by RandomAnthony (last edited Jun 10, 2009 06:49AM) (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Yes, I agree, 30 minutes, at least. At least! I think everyone in the neighborhood should also be able to carry air horns and set them off next to her ear whenever she's not looking.

Heh. Melissa won't date anyone with the wrong kind of horn, eh?


message 6: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments I married the correct horn thank you very much :-)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Subaru? GM? :)

Melissa | 74 comments He's neither foreign or bankrupt. He's built Ford tough, and in America!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Melissa, I'd grab the hosebeast by her neck and make her sniff her dog's poop. NOTHING pisses me off more as as homeowner than a dog owner who lets their dog shit all over someone's lawn. That's just fucking rude.

Sarah | 13814 comments My elderly ex-Harley-racing neighbors - the ones with the 'it's not neighborly' mantra that they trot out if we park in front of their house, but who don't mind parking in front of our house - just got a Yorkie puppy, which they walk up and down the block without a bag. Every house on our side of the street has dogs, and we all clean up after our dogs, and now these asses are showing us what 'neighborly' really means.
Sigh.


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

Gee I wish Gus would just say what he feels instead of holding it in. :-).

By the way I agree with him on both counts, maybe not as vociferously as him, but in general.


message 12: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments Gus is a great ranter. :) He makes me giggle.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Better than make you cry, I suppose.


message 14: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Throw her into the slave pit, Gus.


message 15: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) I'd kick on my car alarm every five minutes. I can queue it from within my home by a touch of a button. No one would be the wiser, thinking my car has a faulty alarm system. Bwahahaha.

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments It's true the woman is a complete schmuck. I wonder, though, if we don't have better things to spend court time/money on.


message 17: by Usako (new)

I hope you're talking about the honker and not me.




message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

Better yet, you know what I would do to that horn-honking twat? I would slap her upside the head with an old loaf of Semolina bread, smear her face in Silly String, and shout, "hey bitch, get in my kitchen and bake me some fucking brownies!"

"Vociferously" is my new favorite word, thanks Jim!

Gus,
You seem angry, do you need a hug?
Mel

ps- I can't stand lazy people who let their dogs/children run amuck either. But...I don't like it when they leash their kids. Even a leash disguised as a cute monkey backpack is still a leash

dogs need leashes
kids need parenting

Don't let your dogs or kids poop on lawns.

This public service annoucement paid for by people who do not want to witness the wrath of Gus.

IF I SOUND ANGRY CAN I GET A HUG?

hugs for all angry people AND ice cream (with sprinkles)



message 23: by RandomAnthony (last edited Jun 10, 2009 01:40PM) (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I swear my brain is fried, because I first read Jim's post as, "If I sound gay can I get a hug?"

edit: Although, now that I think about it, I assume gay Jim would sound the same as hetero Jim. So how could we tell?


message 24: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments must....rest....rainb....oh crap too late!


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

I wasn't really angry or gay for that matter, but I did get ice cream with sprinkles - Yay.


message 26: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments Jim just did a gay dance with a cup of ice cream (with sprinkles) in his hand. Pink spoon too. You all just pictured it, I know you did.


message 27: by Heidi (last edited Jun 10, 2009 01:58PM) (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments Gus isn't angry. He's just a no-tolerance-for-BS-but-really-a-softy New Yorker at heart. Plus, he as a 2-year-old who rules the roost (I gave her a princess tiara). :)


message 28: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments by the way...
the song "The Final Countdown" is now playing in your head too.

You're welcome!
ahh the mind control :-) ha ha ha ha


message 29: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments It's a pre-requisite to being a New Yorker, no tolerance for BS!

Gee even I pictured it - it wasn't a pretty dance


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments No, but it was sincere, and we appreciate that, Jim.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Gee thanks.


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't need a hug. There a tall tumbler full of vodka that's gonna make me all smiley n' shit.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Melissa | 74 comments There are a few men around here who are in touch with their sensitive side.

Gus is in touch with his vodka.

How did we turn a car horn conversation into a hug convention?

I'm gonna bring some Care Bears in here as backup!


message 36: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) Melissa: Because we care-a-lot? ;)

Usako (bbmeltdown) Tenderheart Bear
Friend Bear
Wish Bear
Cheer Bear
Good Luck Bear
Birthday Bear
Bedtime Bear
Funshine Bear
Love a Lot Bear
Grumpy Bear

Anyone see the newest Carebears? I'm freaked out by them.


message 39: by [deleted user] (new)

Melissa, welcome to a typical conversation here at TC. What may start out as a topic on, say, Russian novelists will eventually denigrate lead into a discussion on sucking chest wounds and the guilty pleasure that is Gossip Girls.


message 40: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) What guilt is there in watching Gossip Girl?


message 41: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I love Gossip Girls. Still have to finish season one, though...this summer...


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, it's not Masterpiece Theatre, for starters. I don't watch the show, but it seems kind of airy and fluffy, hence me calling it a "guilty pleasure." And that shouldn't mean the show is bad. It's probably a good show.


message 43: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) It's no different than people watching Desperate Housewives ;) It's a teen drama. *giggles*

Speaking of housewives, I don't know whether or not I can drag myself to watch the newest season of The Real Housewives and Real World are both set in DC.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/...

Uuuh. I should start a thread on the craziest reality series.


message 44: by Heidi (last edited Jun 11, 2009 10:44AM) (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments I'd be willing to set a wager that Gus does NOT watch Desperate Housewives. :) Anyone in?


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

If you wager that I CURRENTLY don't watch Desperate Housewives, you win. However, I did watch the 1st season in its' entirety.


message 46: by Heidi (last edited Jun 11, 2009 11:35AM) (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments I meant currently... too bad no one made that bet with me. I could be rich!

I'm starting to gather that :-) I'm all about the Gossip Girl. I wrote my English paper last semester on GG. The title was: "Gossip Girl is good for the American Teenager". My teacher laughed - but I got an A in his class :-)

Somehow the nine year old in me still knows that song, and it's now on repeat in my head.

Thank you Tanja.



message 49: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) The youngster in me put that song onto my iPod. It earworms near daily. Bwahaha.

Melissa: You rock for pushing the bar on that. What was your support for your title? That seeing how girls gossip prepares the average american teenager?

For Gus, I guess it showed him that flashing money and a hot car winz chicks. No wait. That's all the hairband music videos!


message 50: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 74 comments Thanks Tanja!
The Gossip Girl paper was about how if you (as a parent) don't teach your kid about the world, somebody else is going to - and it might not be pretty when they do it. All the sex, underage drinking, family issues, suicide, teen pregnancy scares etc...these things happen, and all teenagers deal with some adult issues. My paper was about how to best prepare your kid for the "real world" and help them make the best decisions FOR THEMSELVES. If you aren't going to do it, then Gossip Girl will give them a taste of what life is like out there - all the dirty mess (but maybe not dressed in Chloe' or Marc Jacobs :-)
