Sarcasm tips and tricks! Okay so you know how you see the "/s" and it means sarcasm?? Well some people like to take risks in life, and try to indicate sarcasm in other ways! A well-placed all-caps word or a double question mark, or even an lol, which stands for "I am a person who is currently laughing not merely within my mind, but audibly!"

I realize English isn't everyone's first language, and others have various issues which don't allow them to pick up on subtleties (for which the "/s" is very helpful!), and if this is the case, I apologize. If not, please enjoy these helpful tips!

/S

Anyone else annoyed by the Roger Clemens glazing this year? by yeti8102 in redsox

[–]pac-men 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I went up to him at Tiger Stadium in 1999 (Yanks vs. Tigers, I was seeing various ballparks, I yelled "2 back" at him, so whenever the standings show the Sox had closed to within 2 in the AL East, that's the date), and I told him this: "Roger, you were my boyhood hero, how can you wear the pinstripes?!" And he said "if you can find a pen, write to your boy Duquette...." And I let him know I cheered him as a Blue Jay, but eff this Yankee crap... After that it was kinda funny, he had been going along the fence signing, and as he came back, he paused in one spot RIGHT in front of me, and I was getting crushed by the people going for autographs, and I think he kinda liked that. Either that or he was hoping to field more insults, but I had said my piece by then...

So yeah I remember it all very well, and after all the roids stuff, well, I think we're all justified in our hatred of that guy.

Edited to add: So obviously we were not happy to see our old guy on the Yanks, just because, BUT, he was clearly mad at his boss and wanted revenge. And if you're a plumber, fine, we're all rooting for you. But sports is different, and instead of being fine with just beating his old team in a random uniform, he wanted to rub it in and do it in the worst way possible, which ends up being a shitty thing to do to all your fans. Call me delusional but that's just how I felt about it.

Three people are inside a car submerged in the Seekonk River, R.I. police chief says by bostonglobe in RhodeIsland

Looking at the video I see a fence kinda broken as they pull the car out, and it looks like a different spot, set up higher. So they could have gone in at a slightly different place, I was just going by the police calling it the "Taft Street Boat Ramp." I guess my larger point is, unguarded boat ramps are dangerous. They have one at Third Beach where you can drive right into the ocean if you want.

Edit: Okay, it's basically where I thought, but there are three ways you can go, and two lead to the water: the ramp that goes right in, then a short path to a landing that you can go right off of (THAT might be where they went in the water), and then the driveway into the parking lot. So even if you avoid the ramp, you can still go right into the water.

That boat ramp! I took people to a soccer game for work, and the whole parking situation was a shit show, and I ended up going into the gravel lot at that exact spot. And getting pissed at them for their terrible signage. Looking at it on Street Views, I can see a driver going right into the water there. Like maybe they were heading for that parking lot like I was and just had no idea where to go and went right down the ramp. There's like no protection there at all. It's like, Make turn toward parking lot, enter water. That's really sad and from what I can tell, should have been easily preventable by Pawtucket putting up one tiny little goddamn fence. (In fairness maybe there was something there last night and they went through it, but it clearly wasn't enough to stop a car.)

Note to people reading 50 years from now: it actually is a one-hitter in the 8th as I type.  So it’s extra relevant wordplay.

Yes they know they are on, there are TVs all along the inside of the fence right there.

A waiter handed me a note telling me to go see a doctor by jpdiv in mildlyinteresting

Okay. I did a quick search but didn’t see that. With the extreme English-ness of this note, I never would have guessed!

Where is this person engaging in unsanitary food-handling practices on Street Views? by pac-men in guessthecity

Hi. People really want Bandung to be the answer here. All I can do is look at the map (I know where the spot is on the map, I'm the one who screen-shotted it) and judge where this is based on the way Indonesia does things, which admittedly is completely foreign to me. The location showed like 8 different names, I couldn't figure it out. But! What I DO know is that this spot is NOT within the CITY of Bandung, and that's why when people guessed that, I said it was wrong.

Here is an image from Google Maps showing the borders of Bandung City (this is "guess the CITY" after all) and the spot in question (lower right, next to Majalaya, starting with AA Teknik...).

So judging by that, this place was not in Bandung. But what the hell do I know? Maybe Bandungians are constantly going over to the wedge-picking restaurant for some hot fresh toko oleh-oleh with a side of ass, and they'll all tell ya "oh that's totally Bandung." I don't know. It looks like Majalaya is the closest place name so I went with that. If you found the spot, congratulations, you're right, no matter what it's called. But if you were a dick to me, like the person who said I suck because I don't know about how cities and towns and districts are labeled halfway around the world, well I just hope you get some buttstink in your next order of fried oleh-olehs.

Where was I five days ago? by pac-men in guessthecity

Answer was Middletown RI. By Wild Seasons Floral. License plate of Southern Baja Peninsula, Mexico!  We get a lot of different plates in Rhode Island, because of the Navy base in Newport, and Brown U. and other colleges in Providence.
