The hell with that.  I'm inventing my own language consisting of clicks, pops, whistles, hand gestures, spitting and white noise.




Even more interesting than Enochian.
Send me a dictionary when the work is over: this is the way I want to communicate with most of my neighbours.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Neptune, god of the Sea?

"Check out this sick breakdown.  It's so legit."
God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.

I think it's absolutely hilarious:
God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.

I used to be annoyed about the phrase, just like you...but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Swag. No one I know who uses it has any idea what it means, and neither do I. So I think they should all just shut up.

"Man Cave" annoys the crap out of me.  It basically marginalizes my (and other mens') desire to have a place to be alone for a while and listen to records.  It's all a part of the gradual emasculation of our society.  Turn "typical" male traits into a joke, as something trite to be ridiculed. 

It's all over television.  Watch any commercial with a husband and wife in it, and the husband is always some doofus who's always trying to get away with naughty stuff like watching football or playing golf, and the wife just smiles and shakes her head in a patronizing way, making it clear that there's no F-ing way he's ever going to do something that selfish and stupid when there's home improvements to be done (or even better, Crafts Fairs to attend!).

Sorry, little rant there. Who's with me?. LOL

ha ha. I always go to people after discovering a breakdown and say "Dude, check out this breakdown. It's so legit." 
But yeah I can see where it should be a banned phrase.

You know, it's not a cave for crying out loud.  I let the cat hang out in here and she's a girl.  It has a window.  Plus it's a converted carport and I can crank it up without bugging her too much.  LOL
