Today's pet peeve

gmku · 12.04.2007, 06:43 PM

Yeah, I'm a cranky old man. Here's what's making me cranky today.

1. People who call LPs "vinyls." Vinyls! Plural, even. They might get away with if they just said vinyl, which I can almost tolerate, but VINYLS?! Arrggggghhhh!

2. People who call turntables "record players." Record players? Come on. Jesus. record players are those plastic Fisher-Price toys with darning needles for styli.

If you happen to use these terms yourself and I like you, you're forgiven. But please watch it, okay?

gmku · 12.04.2007, 06:44 PM

Well, you're lucky. You're meaty and I like you.

girlgun · 12.04.2007, 06:45 PM

Well, robot cult leaders with eyeliner sideburns who have to figure out how to administer poison Kool Aid to their pet monkeys probably have enough to wory about, true.

gmku · 12.04.2007, 07:49 PM

Yeah, wax is cool, if a little dated.

I have a dog i called Peeve. i called him that just so i could say to people, "This is my pet peeve"

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 12.04.2007, 08:29 PM

I hate when people the word good incorrectly. "You did that good."

i do that almost constantly. it would seem as though i wasn't taught how to speak properly (SPEAK, not type. my english when typing is impeccable.)

SynthethicalY · 12.05.2007, 03:36 AM

So you get mad if we call it phonograph?

pbradley · 12.05.2007, 04:09 AM

People that reply "okay" or "no problem" after "thank you."

SynthethicalY · 12.05.2007, 04:10 AM

No, I'd just think you were really silly, or like 90 years old. Try using the word when you go into a music store and ask for a specific release. "I'd like to buy Sticky Fingers on phonograph?"

Eh, what? You want a Victrola to play that on, too?
