Default A little request

Can we please pass a law that up-talkers are to be shot on sight (sound)? Seriously douchebag, are you asking me a question or making a statement? Do you want a punch in the head?

But, if you passed a law it would only be effective in Canada? That wouldn't really do any good for most of us on the board? Unless you got an international treaty pushed through the UN? But, it would still need to be ratified by Congress here in the States? Sounds like a lot of work to me?

Shouldn't the UN be good for something? Wouldn't that make them worth keeping in NYC? Can you imagine the great up-talker hunts of 2014?

Actually 'artists.' Just makes me want to slap the hipster right out of them.

He should have said: So, I went to the store.

They don't trail off at the end of a sentence. I guess I'll start calling them flat-talkers.

Got one of those sitting across from me, here in the office. If you say that something should be trashed he just has to pipe up with something like, "It has to be taken out into a field and nuked." Every. Time.
