Q: Is this a family oriented site?

A: Noooooo! This site is for "older" people to cuss and discuss and rant. Small children and big babies are not allowed.

Q: What is a FAQ.

A: this thing. DUH! Ok, ok, it's an acronym for "Frequently Asked Questions." Actually, it's a misnomer; this page is actually a "Frequently Asked Questions And Some Answers" but "FAQASA" sounds pretty lame.

Q: Is there any useful information in this FAQ?

A: Yes, sorry, we're just warming up. Just a few more painful ones, then we'll get serious.

Q: What is an acronym?

A: a series of letters put together. Damn, kid, where'd you go to school? Some examples of acronyms are IBM, which means "Irish Business Machines", IRS means "Idiotic Revenue Sharing", and DSL, a high speed internet term which was originally thought to mean "Digital Subscriber Line" but actually means " Download Something Large."

Q: Who are you people?

A: we're just a bunch of old farts and old hags that are Older, Wiser, and Pissed. We're pissed at our choices in politics, morals, business, parenting, taxes, public education, kids, music, cars ... damn near everything. And we're here to cuss and discuss all of the above, and more.

Q: Are you people for real?

A: The jury is still out on this one. We are here, and here to stay, if that's what you mean. We are your everyday, run of the mill, middle aged folks with something to say.

Q: Are all of you so opinionated?

A: Absolutely! You know what they say about opinions, but the bottom line is if you can rant and expound on what is wrong with the world today, why not do it? Why sit back and let the world revolve around you all the while bitching about it but not saying anything?

Q: Do I have to join to submit comments and post on the forums?

A: Yes you have to be logged on. Come on, join us, it's fun! And if not fun, at least we will piss a few people off with our opinions.

Q: Who can submit stories and content?

A: As long as you're logged on, you can comment on anything. Just click on the add new comment link.

Q: Do I need to monitor my responses?

Yes and no. You are free to have - and post - any opinion you wish, but we don't play the direct attacks/personal insults thing. You can rant away but be semi-respectful about it. And by semi-respectful, we're not talking about worshipping your 18 wheel rig.

Q: What the fuck is wrong with you people?

A: we're in various stages of a midlife crisis, menopause, receding hairline, arthritis, prostate malfunction, memory loss, and gastrointestinal disorders. These things are making us sick and tired. But these things are the result - not the cause of - our rants.

We're sick and tired of politicians that can't speak the truth - and sometimes can't speak, period.

We're sick and tired of Moral Superiors telling us what's right, what's wrong, and how THEY get to decide which is which.

We're sick and tired of businesses that want to screw us out of another dollar for another "improvement" to another piece of shit product that ain't never gonna work right.

We're sick and tired of crack whores feeding steak to their 23 kids while we eat ramen noodles.

We're sick and tired of being taxed from birth to death for everything from prenatal care to estate auction profits.

We're sick and tired of schools turning out "graduates" that can't read their own diplomas.

We're sick and tired of kids that can't be legally beaten even though they play XBox all day while mouthing off, whining, and collecting dust.

We're sick and tired of that crap music coming from the cheap-assed imported car three blocks away that's being driven by a mouth-breathing ingrate deadbeat dad who fathered 4 of the previously mentioned 23 kids and has nothing better to do all damn day long because he can't read a job application so now YOU have to work overtime to pay $198.32 in taxes and have $0.02 net extra take-home pay because all YOUR money goes to provide THAT idiot with a "lifestyle."

We're sick of a job market where a cloned Bill Lumbergh boss in our cloned Office Space job wants us to work Saturdays - OUR Saturdays - at an idiotic job creating an idiotic product or idiotic service that's marketed to idiots that are on the golf course on Saturdays - which is where your Peter Principle Personified Lumbergh-ish boss is going to be just as soon as YOUR ass shows up at work for that extra $0.02 net - if you're not salaried, that is.

We're sick of idiotic lawsuits by people who can't read cereal boxes, and idiotic laws making us foot the bill for Viagra.

We're sick of idiotic computer virii, scams, spyware, worms, and security breaches.

Q: Do you ever laugh at any of this?

A: Oh yeah! Quite a bit!

We laugh at what happens when Good Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Go Bad.

We laugh at broken daddy parts.

We laugh because Semen Makes You Happy!

We laugh at relationship advice, and sex change operations, and President Bush getting lost in the White House.

Q: What's that thing?

A: touch my birthmark again and DIE, you swine! Actually, it's medical term is "henway."

Q: What's a "henway"?

A: about a pound or two. Listen: I think I hear your ma calling for you. Come back later and I'll tell you what a Grecian Urn is.

Q: What's a Grecian Urn?

A: Depends on the Pharoah, but generally about $2/day.

Q: How'd I know you'd ask about the Grecian Urn?

A: Beats me, you're writing this thing.

Q: This site really pisses me off.

A: No one is making you stay here, take a hike and don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. We don't intend to offend, but it may happen inadvertently.
