How about people that come to work sick as a dog to spread their nasty germs. Those same people of course stay home "sick" when they really aren't. We have a woman in the office today who is coughing up a storm and blowing her nose every 2 seconds. Just go home with your nasty ass.

Neighbors that do not keep up their yard up. I have a neighbor and he cuts grass about every three weeks never trims and his back yard fence is about to fall over. Its funny because when we had a storm my wife said she wished his fence would blow over and I commented that then we would have to look at all the crap in his yard.

Oh my favorite. I love that they removed it from the menu, but still serve it. The two cheeseburger meal has been my hangover recovery meal for a decade and a half.

oh man. im a cigarette smoker and cant stand otehr smokers who throw their butts on the highway. to avoid my car smelling any more like an ashtray as possible, i stick my cigarette out the window, use my fingers and roll them near the filter, the cherry falls onto the strett/highway and i put the empty filter in my ashtray.

but the point to my post is that i had a discussion with my brother about this, i told him when he got in the car to not throw his butts out the window. he did it once by accident, then said they are biodegradable. i thought about it for awhile, kinda accepted what he said but still do my roll the butt, knock the cherry off then put filter in ashtray thing.

a lady flicked her butt right at my car yesterday on 95. i honestly think im the only cigarette smoker that doesnt litter their butt. if i am walking on teh street and cant find a thrash can i do my roll thing then put the filter in my back pocket.

f'in cigarette smokers are aholes, no doubt about it. i especially hate bars that dont have a can or ashtray out front, all but encouraging people to litter more than a carton a day out in front of their bar, and these are probably no more than 100 yds to 1 mile away from the patapsco river which leads to where? thats right, the freaking chesapeake bay which us marylanders are supposed to hold so dear.

i really need to quit, being 31 and smoking is not cool.

I'm glad. My neighbor might have your beat. He took an extension ladder and put it on his picnic table so it would reach the top of his roof so he could get up ther and do christmas lights. He did this in Dec of 2006 and just took the thing down this summer because he needed it for something else.

Actually when I'm looking at a house and see people out drinking beer and having fun that is a big plus. Where I live now I only have one neighbor who likes to come out and have a few beers. My old neighborhood it was like any Sat. or Sun a party could happen at anytime. Alot of weekends we would end up getting stuff to cookout drink beer and play hourse shoes or what ever.

I hate that for the past several weekend it never fails that on Friday night the wind kicks up or its raining keeping us from going fishing. Then Monday rolls around and its as nice as can be.

Are you still trying to brew your own beer? After my first batch I realised why it had been sitting in the garage for 2 years and tossed mine out.

I'm almost done drinking my first batch from the spring. I thought it was just ok. It got a little better by sitting for a while but I'm not sure it was worth the time and those bottles take up a lot of room in the fridge. I'll probably just stick with buying it from now on.

Re: The Rant Thread
 

Haven't had the lime beer but that MGD 64 drink that they call beer is the most disgusting thing I've had since the first time I drank Guinnes. Why did I drink it ? Sitting at work thinking I was getting one over the bar across the way by buying a 6 pack to drink after lunch. That, plus because I had a taste for an MGD so bad I figured when i drink Miller Light at my uncles house this can't be that bad aaaaaaaaaaand I was wrong.

Re: The Rant Thread
 

Most light beers are crap and have no taste. Still, I'm not against pounding down Miller Lite or Amstel Light when the time is right.

How you can compare Guinness to MGD64 is beyond me.

Just the mention of Guinness makes my mouth water. We went to an Irish Fest this weekend and Guinness was flowing like water. It brought a tear to my eye.

Re: The Rant Thread
 

I don't like it myself. Maybe I don't have enough hair on my chest but Guinness is just not for me. Had it one time when I took my best friend out for his birthday for one of those Get Fucked Up nights cause he turned 30. The night went to shit once the G came into play. We had got nice and baked then went to Remmingtons in College Park to get something to eat. So we order and I got this Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese with some fries I think and a Heineken. Later I got a Remy on the rocks. He orders some Chicken Sandwich with Crab dip on it plus some Crab Dip for an appetizer. Thinds really went south when he looked at me and said "You gonna have a Guinness with me?"

Now me trying to be a good friend I say hey, the wife is sleep with the boy, I won't be getting that tonight so F it. So I get the G with him, we toast his 30 and take our sips. He taps out after about 3 sips saying that his stomach feels a little fucked. I drink half of mine. We leave because they had a DJ and it started to pack a little too much for us and besides we still had about 3 J's left for the night. We leave Remmington and decide to hit the Bowling Alley in Crofton. To get the taste of Guinness out of my mouth I ate a piece of this gum I had, some nasty shit. He asks me for some and I tell him it's horrible and he should leave it alone. On 50 we're tokin and he's chewing the gum, we get off of 50 at the 197 Bowie. While coming up on Bowie Town Center we're at that first light, there's a PG in the right lane so I'm in the left lane because I know if I get pulled over I'm not going to enjoy the night. He says that his head is spinning, i tell him to go to sleep. He sits up and rolls my window down. Pukes all of his food on the side of my van. I'm laughing my ass off, cars are honking and I pull into the parking lot of the Safeway and he's still puking.

I look at my van while he's hunched over yelling at the gravel. Funny ass night. We ended the night with going to CVS so he can pick up a toothbrush (I keep toothpaste in my car) and then go to Bowiling Alley so he can brush his teeth and wash the shame off his face.

So I said all of that to say this. Guinness isn't for me. Too heavy of a beer.

Not to be a beer nerd, but a lot of places really don't serve Guinness right.

Find a place that cleans their taps out semi-regularly, and that has the Guinness nitrogenized, instead of carbonated. It's also not wise to do it whilst on a full stomach or hammered.

Try a place like Fado in Chinatown, or The Dubliner on F & North capitol.

It's a common saying that you'll hate your first three Guinness, then love every one after that... but it's not for everyone.

Re: The Rant Thread
 

Yeah I think it may not be for me. I love beer just not Guinness. Sort of like I love pork but I will never eat Chitterlings or Chittlins as we really say it. It's for some just not for me. I'll get a Red Stripe or something. I really think its just the heavy beer thing because when I go to The Gordon Bierch I always get the Heffeweizen and nothing heavier. My homies will always get the other seasonal beers but they are always too harsh IMO.

Re: The Rant Thread
 

Guinness really isn't a heavy beer though, it's surprisingly light in calories and carbs.

In comparison to other stouts and porters out there, Guinness is actually pretty tame.

But if it's not your thing I get it.

It is also light in carboantion (sp). I use to go this bar near my house in NOVA and I would order a Guiness and drink it down in one glup, actually very easy becasue it is lightly carbonated. the bartender use to think it was crazy I could do that and would always give me the next one free.

Try a Arogant Bastard from Stone Brewing and Guiness will seem like OJ the next time you drink it.

It's not supposed to have any carbonation. The real deal stuff uses Nitrogen instead of carbonation, so it gives it that smooth creamy taste. That's why Guinness cans and bottles have that little widget inside of it, because that releases the nitrogen and helps it maintain the creamy consistency.

Another driving rant...

Heading to Wawa to grab a quick lunch, and some woman driving her soccer-mom grocery-getter, starts floating into my lane because she was too fucking busy texting on her enV with 2 hands...and from looks of things she wasn't using her knees or elbows to hold the damn steering wheel. It was only after I bailed into the right turn lane for the Wawa did she realize what she was doing and correct herself. That's a case of where I wish we all had bumper car style bumpers on our vehicles, so I could have sent her flying into a frickin' tailspin!
