Just like the celebrity box, but for everything else.
Okay, here we go: Fat P.E. teachers that won't stop bitching. Seriously. Pointless homework, usually the stuff given out the first week of school. Kids you don't know that decide to sit with you during lunch and pretend you've been best buddies forever. Michael (from school  )"I'll tell you when you're older" Florida heat Rap/Hip-hop/Country/Lame bands like Fall Out Boy That stupid Stephanie Meyer series. Spiders Aggressive dogs And there's more to come. -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

Speaking of chalk and nails, the sound it makes when someone scratches a chalk-board. *shivers*

Almost all the samples in the tune are made from balloon noises. It's an oddly danceable tune, though... And what, I have to ask, is wrong with ducks?

I have to agree with Inky here. Ducks start off all cute and fluffy, then turn into adults who act all daft and stuff, and then they turn into Crispy Duck with pancakes and hoisin. There's nothing about ducks to dislike.
But then I also like reading, pudding, peanut butter and jelly* sandwiches, peas and tied shoelaces. Plus I'm a smart person who enjoys being annoying. In many respects, since I'm likely to be in the box anyway, I'd be quite happy to have the ducks in there with me. * Although over here in the U of K we prefer to call it "Jam". Jelly is the wobbly stuff made from gelatin, hence the name "jelly" (with a J, because "gelly" would look stupid). So by that token I vote to keep the Americanisms OUT of the box, because I don't want them in there with me

If you rub balloons you can then hold them above your head and make your hair stand up. How cool is that?

ISPs. I just don't see the logic in paying for something that's already in the telephone lines. That and not being allowed on the internet because of their incompitence.

I think I should clarify why I dislike certain things..I don't like reading textbooks, but cool horror books are awesome. I can't say much to pudding..and peanut butter and "jam" sandwhiches are good but without the jam. My mom makes peas..and really anything taste bad, corny love movies (NO DAMNIT) comedy/love movies (YES), I don't like to tie my shoe laces ( I tie them and stuff it under my shoes, other people are fine.), annoying smart people are well..("Michael (from school )") and I still hate country.

QUOTE (Industrial Kybosh @ Aug 26 2008, 12:14 PM) And what, I have to ask, is wrong with ducks? They're nature's water-loving comedians! Nothing, as long as they are in a suitably large area. My parents have an irrigation ditch that runs along their property. Every few years, a weird neighbor lady used to buy more ducks and just set them free in the ditch. They also tended to produce baby ducks by themselves. I promise you, 100 (seriously, 100) ducks swarming around your lawn, pooing on everything and waking you up at dawn with their quacking and crazy duck sex is not a fun experience. They're fine for throwing bread at in a park, but I don't want to take the little idiots home with me. QUOTE (Industrial Kybosh @ Aug 26 2008, 04:12 PM) peanut butter and jelly (JAM damnit!) sandwiches I vote we call them by their proper, international name: PB&J. Peanut butter and jam just doesn't flow well, and peanut butter and jelly is clearly controversial. I don't like country music, but I like a lot of other things in the box! How big is it? If I were to join in the fun, would the ducks be crowding me all the time? -------------------- I love you in a way that is mystical and eternal and illegal in 20 states.
