Years ago Jay Leno had a segment called, "What's your beef." He went out on the streets and asked people what 's bugging them. So here is your chance to air your grips on my blog. Maybe I can offer a snarky repsonse to cause a smile to appear on your face. It could happen. I like making people smile. If you can't think of a gripe, feel free to ask me a question. Any question will be entertained. Hey, I'm tired, really hit by work, feeling a little blah, and wishing I had two brain cells to rub together.
I'll respond to your comments as you post them--no deadline.

Concert ticket prices are getting way too high (£125 for Led Zeppelin)... But my real gripe is with Ticket Agencies.
What is it with these dickheads? I just checked out 3 for Led Zeppelin and they are selling the £125 ticket for £550 to £595! How can this be justified/explained?
Highway Robbery - I need to go and lie down in a quiet dark place :)
Why is that Fat,Dumb loser Ted Kennedy still a senator and why can't the people of Massachusetts pull their heads out and get someone (even someone dead) who could do a better job. They keep electing senator manslaughter every term. Too much venting so early. I need more coffee.
You know what I hate - parents whose behavior/shouting at their kid's (insert sport here) games are unsportsman-like. And then these same parents are shocked when they find out or see that their kid is displaying unsportsman-like behavior. Wake up people, who do you think your kid learned it from?
That's all for now, I may be back later!
DBA:
You're griping about pounds. Imagine if I wanted to go the same concert! I'd have to fork over a bazillion American dollars to equal your pounds to buy the obnoxiously priced tickets. (I guess their kids need money for college or something.)
USA Admiral:
You forgot that the same fat, dumb, loser gets laid, too. Oh, why can't he participate in a "sting" operation to retireve Kennedy stuff? HUH?
Mrs. G:
I went to one of our school's ice hockey games my first year. That was the last one I attended. A bunch (not all) of the moms were yelling at their kids to do better. How humiliating for those poor boys. Let them play (they were really good, btw), let them learn from their mistakes and losses, and let them be kids.
One mother was bad-mouthing her son to the other mothers. I had him in class and was just the sweetest kid. I hate that kind of stuff. I see how it screws with them.
Once when I was playing basketball in high school, an opposing coach said something off-color about our point guard. Her dad was standing behind the coach when he said it. The cops had to peel the dad off of the coach. That was awesome!
Wyatt:
I have to agree. You all need many more officers. I wish you all could ride two in a car at all times.
Hopefully when the commish retires and the pseudo-mayor is finished his occupation of city hall, things will improve. HOPEFULLY.
My beef?
I like everything from Ribeye to Calffries.
Troops who wear their uniforms to anti-war rallies and then claim to speak on behalf of all troops. Which is precisely why it's against the UCMJ to wear one's uniform to such events. Punks. *grumble grumble*
I'm going to lose about $30,000 my home sale due to the market. But I can't afford to pay two mortgages on one income for a year to wait for it to improve. Such is life. What I have a beef with is I can't write that off on my taxes (even though the move was not voluntary) since it was my primary residence BUT if I made money on the sale I'd have to capital gains tax.
I waited in line for 11 hours to buy Led Zeppelen tickets in Seattle in the 70's. The tickets were, I believe $9.00, the equivalent for a minimum wage student of about $35.00 now.
AND I could bat my eyes at the doorman (ID, what ID?) and get into the Aquarius tavern and watch Heart play for free. Ah. . the good ole' days.
My beef? That I don't have the time to blog or comment on my friends blogs anymore!! Stooopid customers!
BWH:
I like a good steak, too...smothered in sauteed mushrooms! YUMMY!
Pandy:
Thanks for stopping by. :) It amazes me that these same people who are conflicted about their service love to put on that uniform. Hypocrites.
Scully:
That sucks.
Hey, you could be renting and paying $845 a month for a 40 year old apartment on a major highway. That's pissing money away in my book. At least you have a nice little investment and Yogi has a great yard! :) (Losing money sucks, though.)
Btw...did my fair share of sleeping out for tickets. Those were some hairy and wild nights. Again, how am I alive? God's grace, I tell ya.
Ssssteve:
Well, those stoopid customers keep a roof over your head. That must be one freakin' high roof, too. Y'all are TALL!
Glad you miss us. Blog when you can. I know I check for more funny every day.
I have a friend I miss, too. ;)
