I hate the way college football chooses its national champion. The BCS stinks. When in hell will college football ever get a playoff system?!

I hate mail-in rebates that require you to make a million copies of a receipt that is 12 miles long and another million copies of the upc that is printed onto the box for 5 dollars here and 3 dollars there to a million different companies (of course the store advertises one lump sum of a rebate)

Note: there is no exaggeration in this post

Along this same line, I hate when rebates require you to cut out the UPC code from a package and they are part of the physical packaging. Coconut's has had some great mail-in rebates on CDs lately that bring the price down to something like US$7, but I have to butcher the packaging by cutting the UPC code off it. I hate that.

Thats what I meant about it being printed on the box, luckily it was on the box flap and they only required copies: I just stuck the flap on the scanner and scanned it.

I had a rebate form with a scanned UPC sent back to me. They require the "original".

My school has closed campus lunch, and we only get 30 minutes from the end of class to the begining of next class.

We had nearly an hour before they closed campus! So there is no extra time here. I don't know about Shimraa's school, though.

You meant Sean's school, right?

I didn't realize you were referring to Closed Campus, Sean. I thought you meant that the lunch line wasn't open for the day for some odd reason. Guess my joke fell flat to you.

To avoid flooding. It was rather common in the early days of IMDB forums.

I remember when IMDB was based on amazon and had html pages instead of the cgi-bin they have today.

I hate bees, wasps and anything else that stings.

I also hate movies where EVERYONE talks in a raspy voice.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.
