Things That Suck For $100 Alex

[hauntedmyst]

Bought two of these on clearance at Starbucks. I liked them because they were cheap, fit in the Keurig and have a top and a non-slip bottom. Unfortunately, they also seem to drain the heat away from any beverage inside them within 15 to 20 minutes. If they put these on the outside of the space station, they would keep it nice and cool in direct sunlight. If they put a few in hell, it may be possible to make snowballs there.



So what else have you found that sucks? (I'll preempt Embers by saying we already know about his Dunhill mishaps)

Maybe sticking a stem into one of those cups and turning it into a pipe is the panacea for tongue bite!!

Here is number 2. The Penzance tin. The tobacco itself is wonderful (Again, we know, you don't like it). The tin on the other hand is a miracle of engineering. It will keep tobacco fresh for 10 years if its sealed. Then once you pop it, it will drain the moisture from the tobacco in two weeks to bone dry. You could sail out to on the Pacific, crack the tin, put the top back on and drop the tin in the middle of the Mariana Trench the tobacco would be bone dry inside of two weeks. Even if it develops leaks the tin has some hydrophobic powers that will divert the moisture away from the tobacco. Ok, I'm done complaining for tonight. I'll probably have more to complain about tomorrow night. I apparently haven't had enough fiber so things are flowing smoothly and it makes me cranky.

Only good one I’ve ever seen was “The Book of Mormon.” Not sure I’d find it so hilarious if I were Mormon (Apologies LDS folks) but I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off the whole time.

Oh, so this isn't a thread about escort services.

I was working in the theatre district in Cleveland OH when that one came through and from what i heard, (didnt see it myself) the LDS were ok with it. I gather that it had, on the whole, a positive message.

But just to stay on topic, im sure there were tickets available at right around the hundred dollar mark.

Recommendation: fill the cup with hot water from the tap; sit (while you're making coffee); drain; then add coffee. I do this with my coffee cups at home during the winter months.

The new Butter Finger bars with real peanut butter. Who cares if their fattening snacks have real, organic, gluten free peanut butter. I want the original which didn't taste like peanut butter at all, but were more like a chocolate covered Chik-a-Stik that gets all stuck in your teeth. Now, it tastes like a Reeses... which has put out so many new types that about half the candy display tastes exactly like a Reeses cup.
I know, I know... first world problems...

The public water utility bill.

And we still buy bottled spring water with the fancy dispenser to drink because the liquid coming from the tap smells like a public pool.

This metallic aftertaste that seems like it's emminating from under all my dental work for days after I smoke a pipe is aggravating me lately. If we're just bitching.

Yeh, Cheeto flavored lip balm... the cheesiest

Musicals.

Agreed. Never been able to watch musicals.

 

[seldom]

• Single ply toilet paper
• Modern newspaper comics
• Imperial method of measuring things (feet, miles, pounds, etc)
• Those new gasoline cans that are supposed to be no-spill but end up spilling a lot more
• People that drive slow until they get to a section of road with a passing lane where they speed up only to slow back down when it gets back to where they can't be passed.
• Child proof lighters

 

[cosmicfolklore]

And, no matter how many times I try, I don't ever seem to be able to get these to do anything.

Another vote for not liking musicals. There have been only two that I could tolerate, West Side Story and Paint Your Wagon. Strangely though, I like many operas.
