Quartermaster James Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Working for a living. Yes, I know: Sorry you hate your job. There's a group for that. It's called everybody and they meet at the bar!
Black Syren Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Petty annoyance: People who "claim" to be ultra-aware of spirits/ghosts and "vibes" from the beyond, when you know it's all a sham. (This doesn't mean you, Siren. We all know you are legit!)

sutlerjon Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Animal? In Stink? Why'd ya bring him up? (analyze this Senor Mission, could it have been a Sigmund Freudian connection, or was she thinkin of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters for the connection between animal and stinkin') (Ain't 'eard from him in a day or several, maybe this will awaken the Kraaken.) Huh? Now he's gonna be all giddy an junk when I see 'im this weekend. Thanks Syren, way to go. Self Promoter Jim Pirate Gear oldsutlerjohn.biz American Civil War oldsutlerjohn.net

Mission Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 In its worst form, I have always thought the need for ghosts, tarot, horrorscopes, aliens and whatnot was a way to give part of the control of our lives over to something external and try and absolve ourselves from responsibility. (In other words, it's a psychological crutch IMO.) In its least damaging form, it's a (mostly) harmless game we play with ourselves. Personally, I love being in control of my destiny. Even when things happen that I can't control, I can at least control my reaction to those inevitable things the occur outside my control. (Which doesn't happen to include ghosts, tarot, horrorscopes, aliens and whatnot - as you might have guessed. ) "Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?" "Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say." Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Rogue Mermaid Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I've got an annoyance. When you buy new shoes that look great and seem to fit perfect so you wear them to an event. Then an hour later you're walking barefoot because your poor feet are blistered and sore.

Mission Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Petty annoyance - Mission being the thread pooper. Well this is the thread for being a petty annoyance. (I like to think I'm quite good at it, too.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

No lake serpents, Bessie or Nessie, or anything. Caveman? Is it because of all those caves located near you. So is the where is your Caveman statue? Member of "The Forsaken"
Ransom Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 It's right as you come into town off the I-5 freeway. The most butt-ugly statue you have ever seen. Don't know what started the caveman thing, but half the businesses in town are Caveman....Heating, Towing, Printers, etc. The old bridge over the Rogue is Caveman Bridge. And during Boatnick weekend, during the parade, there is a group of guys/girls dressed as cavemen/women who pass out candy to kids, and "kidnap" people and put them in a wooden cage. No one has any idea where it all came from, and apparently it has nothing to do with the Oregon Caves, outside Cave Junction (a hippie haven of extreme proportions). Last summer, some young kids tried to burn the statue down —caused a fire storm in this town you would NOT believe. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

If you can't make it as a pyrate, but aren't fit for honest labour, and they won't take you in the King's troops; don't despair! You can always join the clergy!

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Some folks are naturally skeptical. I'm extremely pragmatic but I've encountered things that are well out of "the box". My brother was an extreme skeptic for years, until he had his own - for lack of a better term - paranormal experience. Then he understood what I had been talking about all those years. I still have no explanation for what I've experienced. Although I think Shakespeare put it best in Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy."
Hawk the QM Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Geez what happened to a little magic now and then? Disney bought all the magic and now we have to pay royalties. We are still chalk full of shenanigans though. Eeeevil shenanigans. Edited March 25, 2009 by Thequartermaster

Her's a petty one, A lot of us guys refuse to grow up, but do our spouses appreciate that? OHHHH NOOOOOO, we gotta catch alotta flack "Oh grow" "Why doncha grow up" "Quit cryin' I didn't hit ya that hard, what arrr ye some kind a little kid?"

Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 People who refuse to see things outside of the box! When people say "Think outside of the box".... They are still letting some stupid box define their thoughts...... I think it's kind of sad for some people who grow up and forget the wonder of being a kid. Is that like Jimmy B's line..... "I'd rather die while I'm living than live when I'm dead"..... Or am I just being annoying......
