yeah both. I feel bad when I want to punch people in the back of the head because I know that most of the time I have no idea about anything.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

There would be no apoplectic rageniks if there were no gormless fuckers.

oh there would still be apoplectic rageniks but the bar for what gormlessness they raged at would be set at a much lower bar because they always need something to rage at.

Eliminate gormlessness. Fixed.

pro-gorm

I'm starting a band called the Apoplectic Rageniks at once. And I fully condone getting enraged over mildly inconvenienced.

I don't believe it!

I was in the quiet coach on a train this morning. And when we got to birmingham this guy got on. And sat in the seat accross from me. And opened his rucksack. And pulled out a walker's crisps multipack. And proceeded to rustle and crunch and champ and snort his way through FIVE FUCKING BAGS OF FUCKING CRISPS OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 25 FUCKING MINUTES.

Apoplectic, yes, I was.

Sometimes crisps used to make me pretty angry too. Yeah, there's a lot of heads buried at the bottom of the garden because of crisps

You could have just asked:

slow walking people should be all be sacrificed to Satan on the same night, great big global black mass for the slow walkers

three nights (need to give them time to actually walk there)

lolololol rev

if the slow walkers are late to the human sacrifice I am gonna be so pissed

Apoplectic Rageniks piss me off to no end.

would you say that they fill you with rage?

What about Apologetic Beatniks? (xp)

what is gorm?

I think I lean to the gormless, but I'm not a stranger to random apoplectic fury. But gormlessness is nicer.

Oh I love the gormless so much, as long as they aren't trying to mooch off my knowledge and ability to read instructions in a science lab.

I lack some gorm myself, you know.

formless guckers

I fully condone getting enraged over mildly inconvenienced.

Big surprise here.

slow walking people should be all be sacrificed to Satan on the same night, great big global black mass for the slow walkers

This, and this again, and this once more. DIE ALL OF YOU.

lol at three days to walk there

Technically I'm a slow walker only my legspan is like half a mile long so I'm all tralala-ing along and you guys are all *huff* *puff*. NYA.

I pissed off Bo Jackson Overdrive for saying this kind of hyperbolic rage was foolish and cruel. He said I was "taking it too literally." I know the subjects of minor irritation are not meant to be LITERALLY assraped with a white-hot poker BUT it is an awfully ridiculous thing to say, no? The punishment must fit the crime. Besides, it is funnier to say they should receive a mild punishment (tho Ann Landers' "Flogged with a wet noodle" is a nadir of writing).

subjects objects of minor irritation

lol "they should be cited and given community service"

Exactly! "People who walk to slowly out to be told "pardon me" in a huffy manner. Those guys."

gorm sounds like a substance of british origin

I want to punch apoplectic rageniks in the head.

The ideal lies somewhere in-between, however: Self-aware, yet not self-important.

Yeah it's the types whose first recourse on minor inconveniences is to fling vicious insults/curses/capital letters/raised voices that get my goat.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Gormless Fucker Manifesto time, y'all.

I am apoplectic with rage that this poll had such a short voting time that I was too gormless to vote for it. But that's me, a gormless fucker who is nevertheless reduced to seething and barging by the mere bumbling existence of the rest of the population just about every time I leave the house. It's ok, I'm pretty angry at myself the rest of the time, too.

Still a huge open question imo

most of reality is gormless

rageniks are embarrasingly deluded about their own importance

Theres that definitely but

Sgt Biscuits posting more would be enjoyable

"apoplectic with rage" is redundant isn't it, mods please change this thread title

r u enraged

Sgt biscuits is....cutty?

He gets a bit cutty when enraged

cutty sarky

cutty be cutty?
