I have had the day from hell.

Been working a week and they expect me to know every little thing about the stupid system(which is a mess)

(btw, the week has been spread out, 2 to 3 days a week since I started. So where is the repetition?)

Maybe I'm just too slow a learner for this job. I hate dealing with money

'Hidy ho' to my brave baron. I have to say it is a pleasure to see you.

I have a learning disability in math ...

LOL @ the sign . What's funny is he apologized to Kobe even though he punched someone else . Are you guys known for playing dirty in soccer too? I've only really paid attention to the beer bellied fellow you showed me and Messi and didn't see it from them although I wouldn't expect them to have time too with their skills and its usually the supporting players that are the most physical in non contact sports it seems .

^Funny you should mention the "beer bellied fellow" ( ) as he's probably responsible for the most controversial dirty move in footballing history! But, yes, you're right - one expects players of this calibre to be immune from such behaviour.

England and Argentina have long had a footballing rivalry (stemming from an occasion in the '66 World Cup where an Argentino player had a hissy fit after a game, and the then England manager rather foolishly branded the team - and by proxy the nation - 'animals' ); but in the '86 World Cup the two countries were only just 4 years after the war over Las Malvinas and tension remained high. They were drawn in the Quarter-Finals - and at 0-0, this happened:

After the game Maradona said the goal was "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God" (he often talks himself up in the third person! ) and in doing so implied that it was some sort of retribution for losing the war and therefore that 'God' was on Argentina's side.

A few minutes later he scored an absolute fucking blinder of a goal entirely on his own though (minus both team-mates and divine beings! ) thus almost rendering the point moot. Unfortunately England did pull one back, so that became a winning goal as it was counted - and so the debate rumbled on about 'What Ifs", and still does - which can be problematic for somebosy with dual-nationality like me...

And people wonder why I make fun of my gender. Ladies be less then rational most of the time. If I was as bad as some of the females portray themselves here Chris would leave me... period. That being said, 20 days till Mist of Pandaria and sadly I don't think I'm going to miss this place for awhile...

Why you may ask?

1. The amount of <fill in the blank> in this forum is mounting daily.

2. Common sense seems to be lacking. But we're dealing with a Jersey Shore generation of people so. . . yeah. Maybe thing's will get better when they're older?

3. AiresDior style of fishing for compliments and guys are "teehee" falling for it and even defending the sad behavior. I'd expect it from a 15 year old, but not "quote on quote" adults.

4, The amount of repetitive fandom is reaching a crescendo never before seen.

- I love Bar, Bar should be with Leo, Leo should be with Erin, Erin's better then Bar and Hotter. No Bar's not hotter, she's so plain faced. Kate Upton is a skank and fat. Kate is perfect yer jealous. Adriana is amazing and will stay with VS forever... wtf? No she's not. Lima's NEVER leaving VS thank you very much. Sandra should be a VS model. Sandra's better then Doutzen. Doutzen looks like a dude. Nooo Sandra CAN'T be a model. <insert token black girl here> should be a VS Angel cause she's better and cutier then everyone else. Kate's not a real model. Kate's a total supermodel. Candice is too skinny. Candice is perfect and yer all haters. Candice needs to gain weight. Does not! DOES TO!!. Miranda only famous cause of her husband. Miranda's the most famous model out there. Adriana is a TRUE supermodel. Gisele should come back to VS. Erin's not sexy. Alessandra looks like a dude. KK should come back to VS. I'm right, yer wrong. I hope Shanina becomes a VS Angel cause she's way better then every other model. Omg Shanina is way overrated and not that pretty. The VS show sucks. The VS show is great. OMG bring Rosie back!. Rosie's way better then Candice. Candice is sexier then Adriana. Alessandra's going to get the bra. Adriana should get the bra. Noooo Doutzen deserves the bra. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Candice deserves it more. So and so is sooo overrated. So and so is sooo underrated and perfect. Irina's perfect. Bar's perfect and yer all just haters if you don't think so. Anne V DESERVES the SI cover. Miranda's so HF. Candice isn't HF. Candice is HF. Victoria Secret ruins models. Emily Didonato is perfect. Sara S is perfect. Sarah S is just a Adriana wannabe. Barbara Palvin isn't pretty. Barbara Palvin is clearly perfection. It never ends

5. 85% of the staff are missing in action and most of the time it's seems like there's only two(ish) of us here every day leaving it rather difficult to deal with everything going on here. Going to be honest I've gotten so many complaints about stupid stuff that doesn't need to be dealt with it's not even funny. Many people are getting offended over every little thing and rather then taking a step back and logically thinking about the situation they hit the report button or send me PM in hopes I'll take care of the issue.

As an example: This was said in a models thread and reported.

not at all... they dont look similar at all... and please stop comparing that girl to <leaving models name out of it>, i feel like ur trying to promote that girl, so please stop.

And they respond with:

I feel this person is being agressive to me and acusing me of something I have NO idea of!

I feel ATTACKED!

Wut? O.o

Mind = Blown

^ USE IT

6. People are getting super uber serious over what boils down to bullshit chow chow on the internet Once you step away from the PC this little world and the people in it cease to matter. Remember that.

"Hmm, well hello there. I'm from the internet"

7. The lack of a sense of humor is just sad

At the end of the day can't people just chill, enjoy a good troll, be civil with one another and have a semi cognitive conversation that doesn't leave people feeling butt hurt over every little thing. <-- These concepts seem to puzzle people?

On a lighter note.

Greatest thing ever?

I hope you are well!

Pretty: I feel nauseous

What ... why? I didn't do it.

That's also a strange irony about the dual citizenship thing. I know the 'illegals' debates are awkward for me having some Mexican relatives. Of course, most people here don't naturally associate english speaking Afro or Euro Mexicans with english last names hispanics and its not like I have a flag shirt, so no one knows by looking at me anyway. I do however find the whole debate interresting in light of the fact that neither Caucasian or African Americans are native to this land, so I'm still not sure how we have more 'right' to it than anyone else.

Not sure how frequent but I hope to see you around.. I miss the Baron and his witty ways

Let me in on it .

What a beauty Ophelia

What ... why? I didn't do it.

^Yeah! They are still cool though, aren't they? I like the idea that they could all be bright neon colours or something too as scientists haven't been able to tell that yet...

I don't like all those crappy sub-par CGI ones that are used all over the place now however (Syfy channel a prime offender!). Jurassic Park still holds up brilliantly, that shit - made nearly 20 years later (scary ) - does not.
