I hate when people don't think a Fracking Rant is Fracking good enough...

I mean... WTF is up your wazzo that you have to critizize the way people vent and rant....

We bow to those that have more manly rants than the rest of us. You are legends in your own mind... may your fame remain there for the rest of your days.

Hmmmm .... a rant about a rant about a rant! A rant to the third power! A rant cubed! Would that make it a Borg rant?

I've vented better than that through the seat of my shorts!

What the Hell is the farking point of a Vent and Rant thread if every farking post sounds like the whining of an irate Amish toddler?
If you are pissed off, unzip and cut loose!
Some of these farking posts actually lisp!
Oooo, Shirley Temple is mad now! She'th gonna thtamp her widdle foot in a minute!
You people wouldn't survive a polite conversation in New York City!
We curse at nuns! In 176 languages!
We have hand gestures that are banned in war zones!
Mothrafarking, mamby pamby, politically correct little crybabies!
We use the "F" word as punctuation!
We use *CENSORED* as a term of farking endearment!
Reach down, check to see if you've got a set and FARKING SPEW!
We fart in elevators! We pick our noses and wipe our fingers on passing children! What the fark do we care? We are New Yorkers. We survive in a city that farking eats tourists! We've got the biggest huevos on the planet and we will wave them at you in public! We got psycho illegal cab drivers, 25 lb. rats, our drinking water is toxic and our subway system is a rolling asylum! We have toddlers with felony records! Do we farking care? Not one farking bit!
We are a pack of plain speaking mothrafarkers and if all you can do is whine, keep it to your farking selves!

That is a farking rant.
Take farking notes.


Just another day in Paradise.

Life gets tedious don't it??

Cheers

If I gather correctly we are granted to vent or to rant.

A vent can be as pleasing as a summer breeze. But a rant? Hey! It can only be done by a New Yorker, a Québécois or a Portuguese sailor...

You gotta learn Portuguese PB!

Strine's good, but has a problem of being English you can't understand or find a school for the teaching of. It generally loses a lot of the vowel sounds, except for those times it doesn't and instead loses a lot of the consonants. It speaks a lot through the nose, has a lot of sentences ending in rising inflections, and every sentence is really just one, long strung-together word, and those words can frequently mean the exact opposite of what they say, depending on context (which can extend to incidents from 25 years ago or your non-speaking relationship with your fifth cousin from the Adelaide hills or just how many beers you've had this morning). It's nigh on impossible to put in written form.

Cheers,
Marc (writing in an unfamiliar language called English)

That's farking beautiful, that is.
Every word is pure poetry.
Every sentence a song.
And yet, as a whole, pure gibberish.
You have a talent, Marc.

on-line warranty support that left a functioning laptop non-functioning after uploading a new bios and a new video driver in an attempt to remedy an over-heating machine with a noisy optical drive.

tough luck he said refusing to allow a technician to come (in breech of terms) within 24 hours.

tough luck he said demanding I solve the problem by repair-format using discs they sent us with the laptop.

Oh no they didn't, oh yes we did ..... etc until a supervisor stepped in.

they went away and left it !

why didn't they say, just re-boot using "last known working boot" option !!!!

I was promised a telephone call between 8 and 10 this morning to arrange the visit....

9:30 - still waiting .....

Sounds like a start of a joke:

A New Yorker, a Quebecois and Portuguese sailor are in a pub, boasting about their swearing abilities...
