Dear anonymous jerk in the Dal life science centre,
Walking upstairs in the psychology wing for a meeting today, I saw one of many posters advertising a research lecture on people’s alcohol habits, an area of intense study for some Dal faculty members. Your remark in response to the tagline “Why do people drink alcohol,” scrawled across the poster in pen, was the most witless and immature thing I’ve seen in a long time. How dare you? You obviously have no clue how much time, effort, frustration and sacrifice go into creating and running a successful research study, and to belittle the achievements of people who spend their lives doing research is moronic and thoughtless. Not to mention, you got an extra little bit of rage bubbling in me by making sure to mock a female researcher’s appearance. Thanks for that. I’ll be sure never to expect anyone to judge me or my career based on my intellect or achievements rather than the way they think I look in a photo. Next time, keep your pen to yourself. —Girl Stomping Around the LSC

in their head they have no moving parts,
perhaps they should have taken arts…..
where university is concerned
how much can you learn
from people who light their own farts?
So… what was written in response to the tag line? Ohhhhhhhh….. never mind. I think I can put 2 and 4 together….
Some people just can’t grow up, that’s all.
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I think I’ll have a drink or two
or last line could be
look at the fucking tits on you
or
guess who’s a po-faced old moo
or
I can’t think of anything new
wipe your tears away with your XL muumuu
or,
“if your picture made sounds it would say moo…”
Take a pill, preferably a football-sized tranq, lady, you’re killing yourself with outrage over some scribbling moron with the IQ of a fruit fly. Yeah, I agree research is important but 60% of the world couldn’t give a flying fuck about your studies because they’re either too busy deep-throating Jack Daniels or killing themselves with some other shit.
What a great learning oppurtunity for you!
Now you see what you will be up against for the rest of your career….as has been pointed out, most people don’t give a shit about research, science, math, geology etc etc….
…They like watching The Amazing Race, having a jerk to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s low riders and getting their knowledge of science from CSI Miami…
That’s why billions of people still think the world is 6000 years old, there is a god, climate change is a hoax, and some abstract thing called “freedom” is more important than food on the table…
Just take down the poster and replace it…moveon.org!
Yeh OP, you also need to grow up if this got you all riled up… Life’s a bitch sometimes and if this is the worst thing that happened in your day, consider yourself lucky… If your working in the psychology department, one would assume that you would see this coming, or at least not be surprised… Just a thought…
maybe i missed something, but wasn’t this bitch about things called”words”, that were written under the tagline. so o.p., what words were they, was it “because you are a stupid cunt”, or something like that. wow, keep us aguessin’.
She wants to be respected for her work, yet calls herself a ‘stomping girl’…
Maybe OP should do a study on “the effects of stress” and Chill out.
Who has more fun that people? not you
People should leave other people’s shit alone. Fucking knobs defacing things that aren’t theirs. So what if you don’t agree with the poster? Ya fucking douche…
“”She wants to be respected for her work, yet calls herself a ‘stomping girl’…””
Mayhaps she has one of those big shoes?
many amongst the bitches have large feet
To me, “Girl Stomping Around … ” just made me envision a child having a tantrum, not a woman scientist wanting to be respected for the work she produces.
goddamn guys and gals, there is a deffinate chill in the air today, kay hasn’t been on here for quite a while. hell must have, indeed frozen over. but i think an earlier bitch has her hint od shit to it. the one about the weather. just wondering when the big blow is gonna hit.
Just when I was beginning to enjoy LTWWB without having to duck everytime ‘idiot’ and ‘oceanvictim’ shit was flung my way, LIFE SUCKS goes and jinxes it by daring tp speak the name! A pox on thee!
yeah me darlin it’s a kinder/gentler/funnier meadow
Who the hell is Kay?
who calls it writing implements? whata thin shelled twat!
hey mr. blue don’t say it again^^
I don’t know why people are giving OP a hard time about this — i think it’s a valid bitch. People should leave other people’s shit alone, and it’s just disrespectful to deface someone’s work like that. I can just imagine what this person wrote on the poster (put two and two together, guys…he commented on why people drink and the appearance of the female presenter…). What an embarrassment for the researcher he insulted!
And it’s not like the poster was plastered just ANYWHERE — it was in a building that supports learning of this type of thing.
Whomever defaced this poster is an asshole, plain and simple, and OP has every right to think it’s disgusting.
You mean there’s actually someone worse than those I’ve already met?
i heard that if you say the name 3 times in a row, they come back from hell.
kay, kay, mmmmpfh.
OP at least they just defaced a temporary poster; some asshole wrote “zelda” ON the 3rd floor stairwell art piece (orange triangles) ..which is shit anyway but still, this kid, whom i can only assume is a first year since he/she still doesn;t know what ‘respect’ is… totally unnecessary and rude.as.fuck.
There goes one brave soul…LOL!
hey u want 2 hang out an chill with a few drinks now an then . just lookin for that as i take things slow like molasses . Jr yo take care
What really pisses me off about this bitch…is there isn’t an answer for to the question ” Why do people drink alcohol”
Why ?
WHich then (in my mind) begs this question ,’Why do some people never drink alcohol ?’
Enquiring minds want to know !
I rarely drink alcohol and never get drunk. If I have one or two drinks a year I’m doing good. Reason: Alcohol acts as a depressant to me which does not equal a good time…whereas a ganja-giggle fit has livened up the occasional evening. I love the taste of some of the finer hooches but not the effects. Go figure…
I no longer drink.
I find it tastier to just freeze it & eat it.
MMMMMMMM’ rum float slushies 🙂
Alcohol doesn’t ACT like a depressant, it IS a depressant and so is weed, OV, but you tell yourself whatever you want… like they call it dope because makes you smarter. Yeah, that’s it! LOL
LS, no I wasn’t bitching about the weather.
It’s taken THIS LONG to be missed around here, holy shit. Well, I miss you bitches when I’m away for too long so fuck you all anyway. Have a shitty day and I’ll be here to comment on it.
Damn…just when I thought it was safe…the shit gets hurled again. Duck everyone! The shit-for-brains-slinger returneth!
There you go being a bully again, Kay.
FYI, weed is classified as a depressant, stimulant and hallucinogen, because it can embody any or all of those characteristics depending on the strain and the chemical makeup of the person imbibing in it.
Also, if you knew your etymology, you’d know that ‘dope’ has been used in reference to narcotics (primarily opium) for far longer than it has in reference to one’s intelligence, and that those two definitions of the word are actually of completely unrelated origins.
But you wouldn’t know that, Kay, because you’re too busy being a nasty bitch to actually care about having accurate information.
weed was reclassified as an hallucinogen only recently given a few strains that brings the THC level extraordinarily high. Weed has NEVER been classed as a stimulant (where are you getting your information?). When you absorb a depressant your body thinks its seritonin (happy hormone) floating around in your bloodstream so your body stops making it. Of course the drug only mimics the hormone and cleans it out rather quickly but not quick enough that you don’t suffer a shortage of the real thing. For this reason people tend not to relate their Tuesday depression with the party they attended Saturday then smoke a joint or have a drink to feel better…. and this is how addiction happens. Very subtle. Very elusive. Especially when people think pot is a stimulant (doh!)
All I see here are people ganging up on me while my back is turned and you call ME the bully. Right. And dope makes you smarter too. Yup. Sure.
I just love it when the abuser blames the ‘victim’ for starting the abuse! Classic!
Was this “reclassification” something the Harper born-again folks did?
The only reason I ask, besides that I’m too lazy to check…and that the whole “pot” debate bores and frustrates me at the same time…is that calling pot a “narcotic”, and lumping it in with meth and cocaine is typical of the right wing…am I wrong?
I can’t imagine “hallucinating” in the real sense on THC…not like large doses of LSD etc etc.
Jumping at shadows and fleeting glances of “ghostly” colours etc is NOT what I would label an hallucination….
harper is not human…he drinks that white milky stuff that the robots from the alien movies live on. and he has no belly button
As usual, Kay, you’re talking out of your ass. I get my information from reliable sources, like research institutes, medical experts, academic papers, etc, rather than just pulling it out of thin air as you seem to do. Marijuana can be classified as a stimulant because it stimulates appetite, increases sensation, increases heart rate, etc, etc, etc.
Your description of how drugs affect serotonin is way off base as well. Drugs don’t mimic serotonin, they stimulate the body’s production of it. If you ingest too many drugs, too much serotonin is circulated in a short period, and it’s reduced to less than optimal levels in the body, which can lead to depression. So basically, it’s all about moderation. One joint can actually help depression, while 5 joints could enhance or trigger a bout of depression.
I have no idea what you’re talking about in terms of people ganging up on you while your back was turned. I’ve seen a few comments mentioning your absence, but none that even come close to being what any reasonable person would consider bullying. See, that’s the thing with you, Kay, you’re exactly what you accuse others of being. You’re either a nasty, mean-spirited bully, or a whiny little victim. You don’t want to play nice with the other kids, but when someone calls you on it, you stick out your bottom lip and cry foul. And to continue the schoolyard analogy (because I just really like analogies!) if you’d just quit pooping in the sandbox, you might make some friends, little girl.
you bitches get awfully boring after a while… same SHIT different day.
thanks LS… invoking the demon.
real classy.
