Why is the name of a herb screeching through my cerebellum?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
Because he put it in the ratatouille! :laugh:

Link[^] CG you better be careful :-D.
"Then, on our second evening, he banged on the door and told us to get out, accusing us of writing a review on Trip Advisor, and said he would call the police," Healey says. "I was shocked when the police arrived, and we just agreed to leave," Healey tells the Gazette. "We asked for a refund but the hotel refused. I think it is shocking and people need to know about this."
TripAdvisor, by the way, says that 59% of its 167 online reviewers "do not recommend" this hotel.
They should have known. I bet that number would be 90% soon.

Nope. Thanks to the Streissand Effect[^], anyone who spends any time online will see this article when checking out the hotel, and will pick somewhere else. The people who DO stay there will be, for the most part, the computer illiterate ones who don't know how to post a review. Hence, it'll probably stay about the same, though their occupancy rates will decline. I predict that in a year or so, if this doesn't blow over, they'll close for a short time, then reopen under "new management" (Replace a few mid-level supervisors) and/or with a new name. Kind of like in Rollercoaster Tycoon, when I would design a ride that shot people down the track at 90 miles an hour, then threw them out into a lake and killed them... Then just close the ride down, rename it, and open it back up again to get a whole new group of victims :) (Disclaimer: I'm only sadistic in computer games... And with insects and arachnids)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

That's not sadism - that's waste disposal. Arachnids are a menace to decent society, and should be destroyed. each and every one of them.

Wow, that reminds me almost exactly of an experience I had with my last landlord. I was living in this house with a few other people for a few months. The landlord also lives in the same house. I leave my glass of water out on a table, because I don't like to waste dishes by putting a glass in the sink every time I'm thirsty. The landlord didn't like me "dirtying" the common area by leaving ONE glass out (according to him, it sets a precedent for all hell to break loose). I told him I had every right to use the common area in that common way and he bitched about it for months. Eventually, he decided to use tactics to annoy me... he'd move my cup to my bathroom, to in front of my bedroom door on the floor, he'd put the glass upside down, he'd knock it on its side, and so on every chance he got. The fun part came when I decided to leave a little note under the cup for him. I cut out a small circle of paper and wrote "grow up" on it and put it under a cup. That night, at 11:30PM while in bed with my girlfriend, he bangs very loudly on my bedroom door and, in an angry and trembling voice, he tells me I have 30 days to move out. When I asked why (I knew why), he said "I don't need to tell you anything". That man was way too childish to be a landlord. I can't go into further details, but I thankfully don't live there anymore.

They are also wasteful creatures. They will kill humans without even eating them. :~

Going by that benchmark, humans are the most wasteful creatures in the world.

Not me... I have always eaten anybody I killed.
