I remember flannel last time it came around, I think I still have some in my closet.

Sparhawk · Apr 28, 2013

Flannel is really a bad idea in Texas. It just doesn't get cold enough to be able to wear it most of the time.

But the flannel sold here is thinner than some Oxford shirts.

People who say on accident instead of by accident.

On accident is what a child says when they are learning to speak. The fact that so many people under 30 use it prevalently proves (to me) that people of my generation were never corrected.

Or they know the proper meaning and just said it incorrectly on accident.

sixpackshaker · May 4, 2013

But ... "accident" implies there's nobody to blame.

I agree. It could just be an accident.

If I can't easily download it to my portable audio player, then it's not a podcast. Youtube videos are not podcasts.

That brofist icon is not big enough to convey how much I agree. It should be shooting fireworks, too.

Yes, that works nicely.

An accident, you say?

Not necessarily. Simply that it was unforeseen and unplanned. Not that it was unforeseeable.

If my child is carrying a hammer unsafely, he doesn't foresee the possible outcome, though I do. If he drops it and hurts himself or someone else, it is still an accident. Even though he didn't foresee it he is still to blame.

I'm pretty sure he was quoting Hot Fuzz

When people toss good leftovers in the trash. I WANTED THOSE SWEET POTATOES!

Whenever I go on thewebcomiclist and see under "new" comics one of my favorites that haven't updated in a while...and its not new. WHAT THE HELL?! FIX THIS STUPID GLITCH!

Captain Nemo (of 20,000 leagues under the sea) disagrees - he split hairs between "accident" and "incident" because "accident" infers human error, so a freak act of nature (an iceberg suddenly capsizing and smacking his submarine upside the dorsal ridge) he calls an "incident."

People who explain the joke in comments. Why? Is that to wow us with your super-big brain?

The other side of this is people who comment not understanding the joke. Both types are awful. Love the joke, or hate the joke, but for the love of god, just get the joke.

People who keeps complaining about something they don't like or use. Haters of linux, apple, xbone, windows 8, etc, etc.

fade · Jul 5, 2013

Or when the people who complain about thing they don't use, and use complaints that clearly show they haven't touched it in years. I saw some idiot in the Lifehacker comments talking about why Android was superior to iOS, complete with screenshots. The amusing part was that almost none of his drawn-out arguments were true.

figmentPez · Jul 10, 2013

It bugs me so much when reviwers/critics/journalists/etc tell the reader/viewer how the subject matter makes the reader/viewer feel. "This scene just makes you feel happy inside." What? No, no it doesn't. How would you know how this makes me feel? I"m pretty sure you meant "This scene made me feel happy inside" but maybe you're so caught up in being the voice of the people that you've forgotten you're not psychic.

Here I thought they were film buffs who didn't have what it takes to make their own movies.

IronBrig4 · Jul 10, 2013

I finally saw Ratatouille for the first time last week, and this ending speech is relevant.

Gusto · Jul 10, 2013

I love that speech. I love that movie. My favourite Pixar.

Cajungal · Jul 10, 2013

Agreed. That movie really hit me. I was disappointed that so many people I know viewed it as a weak film.

Gusto · Jul 10, 2013

The greater themes spoke to me as an artist. And the music was lovely.

Cajungal · Jul 10, 2013

Yeah, I love his commentary on the worth of criticism versus the worth of basically offering up your soul.

IronBrig4 · Jul 10, 2013

Ratatouille was nominated for five Oscars and won Best Animated Film. Most of my friends love The Incredibles and Toy Story to death, but for some reason seem to have forgotten about Ratatouille.

My favorite part is when the critic tries the ratatouille and suddenly sees himself as a kid enjoying his Mom's cooking. He doesn't even say a word but you can see the nostalgia (a mix of joy, love, comfort, and some sadness) welling up inside him. While a cook nourishes the body, a true chef nourishes the soul.

Cajungal · Jul 10, 2013

Gah! I cry every time I watch that.

Sparhawk · Jul 10, 2013

We made a point of going to Chef's de France in Epcot just to see the Remy animatronic at lunch, it was great food too.

Fun Size · Jul 11, 2013

Holy crap! I didn't know that was a place. I may have to hit that when we go in November.
