You know those two intersections on Preston, one with Rugby Ave to the north, one with Rugby Rd to the south?
City traffic light programmers: what are you thinking? Please tell us all. There is a fog of profanity that just sits over those intersections, all the time. Creative, offensive profanity.

So it was the beginning of August when Iron (who is now deceased, apparently) first first discovered OXO Late Night. I think I’ve experienced enough of OXO. The flirting was awesome, the dating got heated, the sex was kinky and now it’s over. OXO, I’m done with you. You want to know why?

Shenandoah Joe Coffee Roasters
It’s a post like this that makes me feel like a bad person. In fact, I had to make sure the franchise has been around for a while before posting this (1995, to be exact). Here it comes: if I had to choose between listening to their radio ads and being submerged in a boiling vat of gourmet coffee with radio emergency alert tests hooked up to my brain, I’d take the latter. “And then I made another pot, and then I made another pot…” Yeah, I’m sure you did. Last heard on 106.1 the Corner.
Lipizzaner Stallions
Again, bad person. Some of you might have actually paid $20-$30 to see horses do tricks at JPJ on Friday. I’m sorry to hear that. What killed me about the ad for the show was that it sounded like these horses were so extraordinary that they could juggle while riding a unicycle and pass the Bar in 46 states. But then I thought about it and remembered that they’re still horses, and nothing will change that their brains are the size of hacky sacks. Last heard on… I forget.
For just $89, you can have [pause] The Inspector [pause] show up at your place to make sure you and your family aren’t breathing an “odorless, deady gas.” This is a special price before the holiday season, mind you. Because you especially don’t want your family to die over the holidays. It ruins travel plans. Come ON. Just tell us the inspection is highly recommended. (Upon visiting their website, though, I can tell you that they take everything pretty seriously. Check out the three-legged stool.) Last heard on 97.5.

Everyone was so… like… perfect. And perky. And pretty. I didn’t go to the bathroom, but if I had, the women wouldn’t have had to re-apply make-up. They wake up like that.
Darden or Law? I hope you get beat with an ugly stick.

We totally forgot to warn you about parents weekend. If you were stuck in traffic on Main Street, couldn’t get in any restaurants all day on Saturday or Sunday morning, vent your frustration here. Sorry we forgot to warn.
Did you suffer?
P.S. Maybe the UVA loss was cVillain’s planned revenge against UVa..we pay off refs, duh.

may be coming to you from a reputable journal in the future, this one’s purely prurient.
So the last girl I dated was well endowed, and by that I mean 36DDs, and I don’t just mean 36DDs, I mean the kind you’d see in Playboy, firm, perfectly shaped, and natural. The only problem was that the girl lugging them around thought they were her American Express Black Card and would get her what she wanted, when she wanted it, no questions asked. She used them as a tool, she used them as a weapon. Sometimes they were the carrot dangling from the end of the stick, sometimes they were the means to move to the front of the line or be served first, and sometimes it seemed like she thought that just showing up with them allowed her to ‘phone it in’ in the sack. Personally, I’m a C cup man myself, and firmly believe that the girls who bring a little less cleavage to the table make up for it by going that extra mile to make their partner happy when it counts. The Mae West’s out there (look it up youngsters) on the other hand seem to think they can offer less and get away with more just because of some pervasive ‘I’ll pay more to supersize it, even though I don’t need it’ attitude.

Ok,
So frustration has led me to posting. Am I the only one to be getting fed up with Comcast and my ‘HD’ receiver? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the few HD channels that I do get (ABC, CBS, Fox), but I would be even more thrilled if the remaining channels that my receiver claims I get would result in anything more than a ginormous black screen. I have put up with it for a while, and out of fear of dealing with Comcast customer service I have managed to ignore the problem…. until now. I really wish that my Discovery in HD would work. Every time I see one of those awesome nature shows on the HD guide, I get my hopes up only to have them dashed by the black screen. Now, here I am on another saturday with no ESPN (1 or 2) in HD. Sure, the regular stuff works but watching football on HD versus SD is hardly the same. The final straw was when my Showtime in HD started acting up. All of the sudden, the ‘Weeds’ watching parties at my house were so rudely interrupted by digital breakdown. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. That is where I draw the line. I finally called up Comcast to have a tech come out to fix the problem. So, here I am on Saturday morning waiting for a knock at my door.

First, let me say that I am not someone who is always talking about how much they don’t like police. For the most part I am fine with them.
What has been driving me crazy the last several years around town are the ticket cops in those little jeeps who stop in the middle of the road to look at parked cars. I have driven down 14th street and there will be a police officer just stopped there in the middle of the road. Same thing on University Ave, Main St, Park, etc.

Am I the only one who saw the very last “rant” in the C’ville?
“Do you know why you should paint your canoe black? ‘Cause then it won’t tip.” (Bolding courtesy of C’ville) I’d link to it but they don’t put the Rant online.
To be fair, I had to explain this to my Canadian husband, who thought it was a joke he just didn’t get. But please, you put H—— T——– or G—– for a grocery store and let this slide????
