Category: the Rant Board
Hi all.
I don't ever remember starting a rant so i thought that i should create a topick here as well.
The problem is that i don't have anything to rant about. So i am ranting for not having anything to rant about. hahahahaha.
Now you can rant for reading a pointless topick. Go ahead lol.
Rather strange man you are. Lol!
Yes i must be. I don't usually post things like that but i thought to do something for a change. lol.
Its all good. Lets see what the peple have to say about this. Haha!
Nikos, you are very lucky not to have anything to rant about. It sounds as if life is going well for you at the present time, and I'm happy to hear that. I have plenty to rant about but won't do it here. I've already bored my friends to death with my problems. LOL
lol Becky. I don't think there is anyone without anything to rant really. But as you said ranting is better with people who know you and care about you. What's the point ranting here? plus i use this site for having a nice time. If i bring my rants here how would i have a nice time? But i guess it was slightly true that i didn't have anything major to rant about appart from the fact that i am unemployed but after studying having some time off is good in my oppinion so it is not really a rant lol.
Nikos,
lol
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
ahhahahah nikos. it's funny. no one should rant about you and having no rant. i like topics like this. just a change of pace around here. good job.
Now just hold on one single confusticated minute! So you say you created a rant topic under the rant board just for the sake of the creation of the topic when you have nothing to rant about? This is an outrage! *Godzilla stomps his foot in outrage on the ground* Charge this man a rantal fee! LOL!
IN regards to post 1, you are so right Nikos. I'm with you buddy, that makes me really mad too… I mean makes me really happy… I mean……never mind.
I've got to go start another rant topic about happy people ranting in the rant board.
Never mind, I'll go back to sleep.
Bob
Lol...good one, nikos...
i'm just posting for the hell of posting here, lol.
lol
Nothing here to rant about ither.
{smile}
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
lol everyone. It is good to see all the happy ranters posting.
It is good to see the rant board to look a bit happier lol.
yes, let's rant about the rave board perhaps?
so what should this rantal fee be? heheheheheheheheeheh
Yes. We could rant that the rave board gets less topicks than this one. Why people are more negative than positive? But anyway i said i wouldn't rant lol.
Good for you Nikos for Not ranting.
{smile}
~*TMN*~
I think you're just the cookie monster, happily going through the garbage, singing a happy song.
Bob
My rant is not ranting on the rant board. lol.
This is great. We need a break from all the negative stuff.
Yes the new advert should say. Have a break. Have a rave. hahahaha.
..or Have a Break, Have a MacDonald's Hamburger!
I rather a cheeseburger.
And a milk shake too.{smile}
Make that chocolate.
pizza hat for me. lol. But my favorite is called souvlaki. The Greek kebab lol.
Pizza yumhmhmhmhmhmhmy! I like it with alot of saullse.
All this food is making me hungry, or is that just a psychological thing.
I have no idea, all I know it is, that I am getting hungry myself.
Me too. lol. We are not just happy ranters but happy hungry ranters lol.
Haha! You got that rite.
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me. C is for cookie, that's good enough for me. C is for cookie, that's good enough for me. Oh, cookie cookie cookie starts with C!
make it chocolate chip. lollol
Yea, me too is feeling kinda hungry. Here 'tis 5:40AM Breakfast Time and what to have for breakfast.? Pizza sounds good! {smile}
{Maybe this is called a raving rant. I dunno no, er-ah-h-hmm a I don't know, don't know}Rant Rant Rant!!!~*Thunderous MidNight*~ is Hungry {that's my rant for this morning~}
Do you want fries with that?
Fries with what? The burgers, the pizza or the coockie? lol.
Lol. Well, had not pizza so had a left over hot dog from yesterday's grilling and 'twas tasty reheat microwave style. Loaded, with even onions!!{smile} tasty too. No fries, no milk shake, ..Coffee,yes. ~*TMN*~
*runs off with the cookies.
Earlier raving rant done away with 'cause no longer hungry.
Good Board Nikos.
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
lol Jeannie819
Just had a yumhmhmhmy cup of chocolate milk. But the choclate sirup. It was so good.
When i was learning English i used to find some words interesting and i was playing arround with them. One of them was hotdog. So i used to call it cold cat myself lol.
Interesting, haha!
opposite attraction, I suppose?
Allright, since Jeannie819 took all the cookies before everybody else could have any, I'm charging her with the task of making coffee. Luckily there are more cookies, but I'm not bringing them out until coffee is made! Oh, Jeannie, you thieving scoundrel!
Where's Raskolnikov when you need him? Now animal crackers, there's something worth ranting about.
What are animal crackers? I saw them mentioned in different topicks but i didn't understand what they are. I have the impression that it might be the droppings of an animal but i am not sure lol.
Oh wow! Along with a glass of milk. Yumhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmy!
They are crackers shaped like animuls.
lol. I thought animal crackers were something bad. I didn't know it is something somebody can actually eat.
Haha! But I tell you they are really good.
It must be an american thing. In England i didn't see anyone eating them. I have a friend studying in America. When he come back to Cyprus i will ask him to bring some with him.
*makes big pot of coffee. Anybody had gram crackers?
Yes but the chocolate ones.
Trust me man you are going to like them. If in when you have them, you can have them with a glass of milk.
Do you mean chocolate crackers? It is becoming more confusing now. In England crackers are like biskits but savery and they put cheese on them. In America they must be sweet if they have chocolate. lol. It is interesting how countries do things in different ways.
Oh na Iwas talking about gramCrackers, we also have them in chocolate. But they are very good also.
Nikos, animal crackers are little "crackers" that really are more like little cookies, shaped like animals. Raskolnikov went off on a rant about them one time. It is still probably the funniest board topic I have ever seen on the zone.
I'm actually partial to the cinnamon graham crackers myself. And thank you, Jeannie, for making the coffee. Here, I've got chocolate chip cookies and here are some frosted oatmeal cookies which are most scrumptious for dipping in the coffee if you like that sort of thing.
lol Becky. I think that's why i had the impression that animal crackers are animal droppings from Raskolnikof's topick there. I thought that if he was ranting there that it should be something bad lol.
What about some Greek coffee? Does anyone want some?
Oh my gosh yes, Greek coffee. I've only had some once from a friend who said it was authentic, and I guess it was. It was very strong and very sweet. Of course, I was served the coffee after an all night discussion of ancient Greece and philosophy, so the remembrance of the coffee might be tied up with the wonderful discussion. But, thanks, I'd love some Greek coffee. Anyone for a wonderful discussion/debate about philosophy? I tend to be a rational positivist myself--you know, Rudolph Karnapp and his ilk. When you think of it, though, the boards on the zone might be a lot like I imagine the Agora to have been in ancient Athens.
For the uninitiated, the board post by Raskolnikov we are talking about can be found
here.
I sure hope the html works on this. Anyway, it was a rant posted by Raskolnikov, with tongue-in-cheek ranting about the filthiness of animal cracker manufacturers. At that time, Raskolnikov's screen name was "Erie silence". For some reason, that topic caught a bunch of us off guard, and we had a lot of fun with it for about a week. I think it is the funniest board topic I've ever seen on here.
Bob
Greek Coffee, yes please. A glass of ice water too, please. And some fresh fruit {real tart like} and some m&m's too! Oh and maybe a few sugar krisp cookies too. Ahhhh breakfast is served {simle}FIRST breakfast of day that is...
hmmm That {simle} should have been {smile} oops, sorry :(
Hmmm what a brekfast.
brekfast I did not have today.
Why not, that is the most important meal part of the day.
Lol I knew someone was going to say that. I went home and ate an early lunch.
You might find strange this breakfast but it is something we like in Cyprus and i don't know if in other countries people make that. It is one of my favorites. Tost with oliv oil, lemon and salt. lol.
Hmmm interesting, never heard of it be for. But it sounds good!
Actually that does sound good. Do you fry the bread in olive oil? or toast it then add the olive oil.
Bob
You tost the bred. Then some people might add some oliv oil and lemon etc on the tost or might put it in a plate and deap the tost in it.
yummy
..mmm and with basil T_A_S_T_Y
Oh na man, you mest it up when you put tea in there. Yw!
Thunderus midnight, what is a basil t-a-s-t-y?
Lol I think she means tasty
Hmmm.
That is correct Jeannie819.
T_A_S_T_Y = tasty
~*TMN*~
and what is ~*TMN*~
Sorry but i am not good with abriviations lol.
That would be a shorter version of her username.
What is she to lazy to put the full thing up? Lol.
hmmm..?!?!?!
~*TMN*~
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
{smile}
'tis not Midnight for 'tis 5:56AM
SUNday Mornin'
...going in search of F_O_O_D.
Well said ~*TMN*~.
~*b-o-b*~
oops,
Bob
J e a n n i e i s g e t t i n g s o m e f o o d.
Ha. Figure that one out.
Thanks for the abriviation explanations.
If anyone is brave enough to give the tost with oliv oil and lemon a go let me know your oppinions about it.
Jeanie is getting some food. Lol!
..and I must say that the toast with olive oil and lemon sounds tasty.
Just wondering what it would be like if used limes instead of lemons?
Nikos, you ever try it that way? ~*TMN*~
I don't know. I don't think we have lime in Cyprus or if we have i need to find the Greek word for it.
I had lime only in England as a fisy drink or soda as you call it in the states.
So it might work i don't know.
What I enjoy drinking on a hot summer's day is...
..Take juice of 1/2 lime squeezed into a glass
Then Fill with Ice Cubes,
Add Club Soda, stir. Refreshing.
Note: I do Not add sugar to my drink,
A sprig of fresh mint is nice though.
~*TMN*~
Sounds very good. I hope to try it one day.
Allowing for this Raving Rant Board to continue!
..and Yes, lemon may be substituted for the lime.
Remeber: NO sugar to be used.
Nikos, it's easy to find something to rant about. First, what upsets you.
2. Why does this upset you.
3. Well, if it makes you mad enough, all you have to do is just post it. It's so easy to rant, I do it all the time, lol.
I am sure he already knows that about you. Lol!
What makes me mad? Hmm. Have to think of something...Ranting makes me mad. Yeah that's right. believe it or not it does. *grins.
Hearing other peple do it? Or you doing it yourself.
both
Oh ok I see. Yeah some peple on here like doing that crap alot. I'm not saying any names. Lol.
He wanted something to rant about. That's the advice I was giving
I could rant about my internet , or almost lack of, but I'm not. Or maybe my roommates. Perhaps I can come up with a whole list of things. Kind of pointless because it doesn't get you anywhere, although it helps sometimes
True true, maybe what you need is a good friend to talk to. Some body who is willing to listen to you.
Seriously.
I think most of my rants are spent in my Livejournal, tell ya the truth. Rant here and you just get accused of whining and making a big deal out of nothing and you should be worried about more important things, like natural disasters half a world away which you can't do a damned thing about but worry anyhow so you wonder why they're so bloody important. LOL!
M'mm Coffee is tasty & my only present rant is that at current time of 3:51am I will not be making any.. Going for now. ~*TMN*~ Luv u
So quiet that mornin' birds yet notawake here, as of yet.
g-o-t quit whining about whining.
Reminds me of a scene from some b-rated movie I saw once where a waitress asked the main characters if they'd like some whine with their dinner. When they respond that they would she begins to moan about her kids or something like that.
Oh well, I guess you had to have been there.
~*mnt*~ is that coffee ready yet?
Bob
..hmm you seem to be a little back a** ward Bob,
STILL yet contemplating if I shall make coffee this morn or not.
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
Question for the coffee lovers. Do you usually drink your coffee alone or when you are with friends or family? In Cyprus coffee is kind of a social drink. It is usual for people to meet with each other and have a conversation with a cup of coffee.
Also another question. Do you drink coffee the same time every day for example one in the morning, one in the afternoon etc or do you make coffee when you feel like it? I feel like an interviewer now lol.
{smiles}
Both!
I enjoy a nice relaxing cup of coffee when I am home, ither alone or with some of my Family present.
ALSO, I enjoy coffee, having a cup while with in the company of friends.
Usually, though not always I enjoy a cup of coffee upon early mornin' arising.
Perhaps a cup or so later on in the day.
May a cup in the evening.
Sometimes a cup of coffee at 3am.
I realize this may sound like ALOT of the beverage coffee consumed in a day and yet not so much so. I try and make only the amount that at a given time will be served or thought to be so.
Like usually I make up {brew} only 2 cups at a time and Not an entire 8-12 cup pot of coffee. {unless having Friends/Family over and that would be an amount served in say the time of an evening's gathering, this one example..}
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
***btw Raining out, right now, this Michigan morning before noon**~
I mostly drink coffee in the morning. I love to share a cup with someone but now its just me!
I always fix a pot of coffee early in the morning (about 3:30 a.m.), and it's just me that drinks it.
I have a routine where I make a pot when I first wake up and read the new york times while I drink it.
I rarely fix coffee any other time during the day, but, if I'm with friends at a restraunt, I'll order a cup of coffee as a social drink.
Bob
7:00pm and Finally settling in with a nice warmed through and through coffee as Night beackons after long the rainy pleasant day.
Ahh refreshing. {smile}
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
Post Script:
M'mm and a portion of a cinnemon roll too
Sweet
~*TMN*~ {~*The coffy kid*~} ~~
Never heard of the cinnemon roll either. I think this topick is very educational. I learned a lot of things here lol.
It varies. I make a full pot of coffee each weekend and my fiancee and I just ahve a cup when we want one and a lot of time that means we just have it on our own. However, we might go out as a couple to a coffe place like Tully's and have a special fancy coffee drink as kind of a special treat just for us two without having to take our son along who doesn't appreciate coffee anyhow.
Cinnemon roll is like a pastry, a danish, a sweet donut dough coiled round n- round with cinnemon in between the layers and a frosted creamy suger icing atop. It is really a very rich desert. I only had half. I will have the other have again as it is all wrapped nice in plastic wrap. ~*TMN*~
I want to rant about this topic, it is making me hungry.
Nikos, I had fried chicken for dinner, have you ever had fried chicken?
Bob
Jesus jesus! Yumhmhmhmy!
lol Bob. Yes this topick could make people hungry. It is interesting how it became a food and drink conversation.
Yes i had fried chicken before. Do you mean the kfc style chicken which is covered in bred crams? I like it a lot.
Ant thunderous midnight, this desert you described sounds very good. I don't think we have it here lol.
Yes, KFC makes some very good fried chicken, but of course there are ways to make it at home. I'm unfortunately not all that well-educated about Greek food so I can't tell you what might be an equivalent to a cinnamon roll. One thing you should know about the pastry cinnamon rolls are made of is that I think in most cases, if you make the rolls yourself, the dough is such that it has to rise, kind of like how certain types of doughnuts are made. So the end result is this airy pastry full of cinnamon and sugar and sometimes some sweet icing on top and also some people prefer raisins in the dough. Probably the best thing you could do is find a website that features recipes for all kinds of foods and look up cinnamon rolls.
...OR in my case, a Friend bought and brought home to me the Cinnemon Pastry Roll. {smiles}
Post Script:
Had the other half, of the half previously dshared about in conversation, witin the last couple of hours with..
A delicious cup of coffee.
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
..o.k. for my "rant'
word, "dshared," in Post #118 should have read,
one of two ways:
1)"discussed/shared" about in conversation OR
2) simply, "shared" about in conversation.
~*TMN*~
Going for that second cup of coffee.
~*Thunderous MidNight*~
1:09pm TUESday,OCTober2nd,2007
I am hungry now. Especially for something sweet and sugary.
Chocolate donut?
That sounds very good. I with i had one. In Cyprus we have a sweet thing which is called fingers lol. It is pastry stuffed with a micture of nuts and sugar and sirup. Something like that. I don't know the recepy.
O wow! Every time I come in here, there is always talk of yumhmhmy food.
There is this recipe called, Grape Conserve, and is tasty on little crackers, like Sociables or Club crackers. The recipe consists of the deep purple like grapes, walnuts and is like a heavy textured filling. Has a taste almost like a, of what's the term...thinking.. I know! {smiles}
Fruitcake. Holiday goodness.
Sounds also good. Good sellection of food here we have lol.
Now you've done it.
I can freely rant!
Fruitcake is the most disgusting invention of man since the out house.
There is a rumor that there are only eight fruitcakes in existence, and they just get passed from person to person at Christmas.
I suspect the rumor is true.
Bob
I think it varies. I had some good once and some not very good. Deppents who makes it and what fruit they put in it lol.
I thought a fruit cake is someone who is crazy. lol.
Damn you took the werds rite out of my mouth!
Rumors!!
Have you not ever made your own Fruit cake?
There are various types of batters. A light batter with marchino cherries and then to have a fresh serving of fruit on the side, like for example, oranges.. mmmm so good. A nice cup of hot tea goes well with this holiday snack.
I think our TMN has it right. That's just a rumor because there are people like my eccentric self who actually like fruitcake. Would I like absolutely any fruitcake? Probably not! But the best I've had were actually homemade ones. Perhaps the bad fruitcakes are the ones that are either pre-made or that have sat around for too long because people are skeptical to have a hunk of it. Just guessing, mind you, as I'm no expert on the stuff and I've only had it on occasion. Can also agree with you on the tea thing. By the way, here in the Seattle area we have a local variety of tea known as Market Spice tea. It's a flavored tea with lots of cinnamon and spices and orange flavor added. The closest equivalent would be Good Earth's Sweet and Spicy flavor of tea. I intend to pick up some of this Market Spice tea soonishly. I also await when the good apple cider hits the stores. Nope, the store brand and the Treetop brand are not good. We're interested in cider with that certain appliness you can't get from mere apple juice. Oh, and as for things to ahve with coffee, we just finished off a package of some cheap brand of frosted oatmeal cookies which are ideal for dipping in your coffee. I know I found some at a dollar store and I think this one was one of the store barands from a local grocery store.
Sounds good
Home-made oatmeal cookies can be tasty as well, with raisins and walnuts optional. Extra cinnemon really makes the batter extra special for the finished cookie when out from oven baking. Delicious!
Interesting cookies. Especially with some Greek coffee it would be a nice combination lol.
I want to rant about board topics that make me hungry.
This one for example.
Bob
Bob the ranter, official of Zone bbs.
I think...I don't know what i think.
Do you actualy do, some thinking?
Hay watch it! :)
Oh boy, a fight!
Bob
Hmmm. Or elss?
Hi.
I have got a rant which is not a rant any more but it used to be. Here in Cyprus i was on dial up and it was so slow but finally i have broadband. So this rant doesn't exist any more.
I hope you enjoy my ex rant lol. Now it became a rave.
I want to rant about people who rave in the rant board, even if it is their own rant/rave.
Lots of rs in this post.
B ... I mean Robert
I want to rave about people who rant.
I want to rave about ranting.
Hmmm,
I have a rant about people who say hmmm a lot. JK.
Sooner or later you will get over it. Haha.
I thought that I'll bring this back to the top, just for the hell of it! Lol.
I. want. that cake.
Makes 2!
Here's my rant: I see this topic sinking in to the zone black hole.
Yes but fortunately somebody remembers to bring it back again. I also want some cake lol.
Yeah come on peple lets have a cake party!
I would say something but i have nothing to say.
sounds like I need some cake.
Talking about cake, I just had a icecream sandwage.
How is an icecream sandwich? Do you make it yourself or do you buy it? Is it icecream in bredd? Sorry i never heard this one lol.
It's ice cream with 2 cookies instead of bread. Really yummy.
And the cookies are chocolate.
Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie and Coffee or Soda pop.
Not sure about the pop and cookies. They don't seem to mix well.
Home-made pie the apple.. & Ahh with eXtra spicy cinnemon with sweetness and beverage of choice, now that can be a real treat. {smiles}
In England i had aple and blackbery crampll with custert. That was nice as well.
Hi.
I decided to bring this topick back up because nobody posted for a bit.
I wish to all of you mary christmas and happy new years without rants lol.
Yay! it's back!
Yes i agree. Try not to stress out too much.
I was hoping some one would bring this back.
It's back folks. Now don't rant about it's abssence. lol.
Listen you!
Lets bring this thing, rite back.
Yay! the bear brought it back!
Thank you thank you!
Thanks for bringing this topick back.
Anyway how was your christmas and new year day? Mine was very good. I am in England at the moment to spend christmas holidyas with my girlfriend and her family but i am going back to Cyprus on Friday.
Mine was good. It's just me,mom and dad, and brother.
Mine was also fine, just me my self and I. Oh yeah mom, sisters and their kids. And some of my cousins. But we had a good time.
wow hmmmm. fatherbear, u seem much more polite to other people than u do to me.
I am glad you had nice holidays.
I hope for all of us the rest of the year to be as good.
We didn't talk about food for a few posts so here is what i had tonight for dinner in England. Cheese and potato pie. I don't know if you have this in america but it is an English dish. Very nice.
that would probably be like cheese and potato soup, only in pie form. sounds good actually.
That sounds good, never had it together.
Why don't we bring this rite back!
Good idea. Thanks for bringing it up.
I might go back and read all the posts in this topick because i didn't read it for long time.
No problum man.
By the way when i created this topick i said that i was unemployed but if you read my profile you will see that i have a job now. So now it is nothing to rant really lol.
We are very close to reach 200 posts and to have 1000 views for this topick. Let's make it.
Congradulations on the job.
Oh yeah same here dude!
Yes, congratulations.
Thanks all. I work since November and i enjoy the job i am doing.
Awesomeness!
Hmmm?
It's so nice and cool in this dorm.
And I'm getting cold.
I am so done with finals!
So now is time for you to chill?
Not yet. I got a big mess with tuition payment and all that.
Damn bills!
I'm not even paying. It's the state but they arre late so I have to pay 50 dollars to resubmit the housing application again. I wish they wave the charge. Oh well. I made lots celling my textbooks back so that was a plus for today.
Hmmm,
I have to find something good that happened.
We are doing well. At the moment of writing we have 997 views and 198 posts and it will be 199 when i post this. Let's see who is going to post number 200 lol.
Ooooo! pick me! pick me!
I win!
Congradulations. I wish you good luck for being post 300 as well if we mannage to reach that lol.
Anyway in my country our Easter is this Sunday. We are christian orthodox here and our easter is different from the catholicks etc. It is usually later but some times it is the same date such as last year.
Sounds strange lol.
Oh yeah one of my friend's was telling me about that.
Do you remember this topick? I think we didn't post here for a year so i diceded to bring it up lol.
And i don't know why i wrote that we are at post 300. Maybe it was my dream lol.
95 more and we will be. :)
Welcome back!
95Or94?
