New peeve thread???

[gini]

I am with you on this one Slick. I also hate it when the salespeople start showing you things that you have no interest in - and it just wastes your time as you try so hard to be polite - and say NO THANK YOU! At that point, I beat it out of the store.

Half a world away a political stories are being written (Iran, Hamas, Israel, Sharon having a stroke) and the top news is Oprah whining that she was duped into promoting a book that was a pack of lies.

Yep, the moron got duped and now she has to put the Oprah machine into reverse becase she is the cornerstone of truth, justice and the American way...and because she can make, or break, an author she has to make things right!!

So, instead of putting it behind her (far easier when she was a woman of size) she now has to clear her good name and spend an hour yelling at this guy on her show....and it all makes headline news?

She should take a look at her magazine first..

A little trivia?

Which celebrity has appeared more times on the cover of Oprah magazine?

Having never opened that package of tripe, I can only imagine what stories reside within...


Lose 800 tons on the Oprah fig diet?
Manage your life with Oprah's 10 second daily planner?
Release your inner talk show host with Oprah's tips?

100% pure, unadulterated truth!

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

Of course, after the beating up this guy took on her show - now he will sell more books than ever imagined. He will retire somewhere quietly a very wealthy man.

[RICHARD]

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

The Story of "O", yes!
Oprah, NO!!!!!

Here's a GREAT peeve...

Ken Starr, the prosecutor that went after Bill Clinton has asked Ahr-nold
to pardon a moron who is on death row......

Why?


Because he apologized for the murders.

"I am sorry...."

Those three little words that make everything all right.

So, if BC had apologized, Starr would have backed off?

[gini]

Richard, I just can't leave this alone..........

YOU - the champion of saying something outrageous followed immediately by "I'm sorry"!!!!

Ben Franklin was an idiot.

He figured out electricity which has allowed us to....

Miss your page.
Get computer viruses.
Panic in blackouts.
Have to listen to alarm clocks.
and get shocked at every turn with static electricity!

[RICHARD]

This has happened twice in the last few days....


I am standing in like to get a bite to eat. The person ahead of me says..


"Let me get a....."

Judging by what Attorney General Gonzalez told the senate the other day.....Washington and Lincoln used electronic eavesdropping during wartime....electricity must have been around before old Ben discovered it!

Normally I don't mention peeve, but.....my husband has the habit of responding ...."what do you mean _________." Example. When I was sitting up at 4:30 in the morning reading a book I answered his question as to why. He responded..."what do you mean you can't sleep?"

How do I answer that??????? How many different things can "not sleep" mean????
