It is funny how people develop pet peeves. My recent pet peeve is m’bye. Whenever I overhear somebody on their cell phone closing the call with m’bye it gives me the willies, like fingernails down the chalkboard.
Why does it bother me so much? Is it because the whole conversation preceding the m’bye sounded so fake? Is it because there is no reason to put that damn “m” in there? Maybe the “m” is used to soften the bye. It is a euphemistic bye. Bye is so sharp and poignant.
I can relate. When I feel like the bye would sound too sharp, I tend to say bye bye. That way, it doesn’t sound like, “Bye… (I hope I never have to speak to you again)”. However, I think bye bye is an accepted standard. This new m’bye crap is annoying.
What could possibly be worse than m’bye? M’BYE BYE Oh yes. The epitome of euphism. The “bye bye” prefixed with the “m”. Ouch!
I’m making an aspiration. May I never say “m’bye” or “m’bye bye” in any form of conversation closing, whether in person, on the phone or in any other context.

Outrageous! All zones of Santa Cruz county are being sprayed with a toxic pesticide, Checkmate LBAM-F to kill the light brown apple moth (LBAM). CDFA has given this “emergency status” even though there has been no documented damage from the light brown apple moth (LBAM) in California. I wonder if the pesticide company that is producing Checkmate LBAM-F is having their pockets lined by this mandated spraying? Thanks Arnie!

While I’m feeling cheesy I may as well admit that I do like a few pop songs. Perhaps this one has some sentimental appeal because I played soccer for fourteen years. Perhaps it is the Salt N’ Peppa sample. Or maybe it is the glow of the golden Mc’Donalds arches (I did try to find one without Mc’Ds embedded).
Speaking of the sport, what is up with “soccer”!? If any sport on the face of the planet should be called “football” it is soccer. The rest of the world has it right, and calls the sport futbal. Speaking of which, what is up with feet and inches? The rest of the world has it right and uses the metric system.

Within less than 5 hours of having iseyz online, I got email notification for what seems to be an automated comment and one of my posts was mentioned on another site:
http://computers.livefortech.com/?p=2507
This isn’t the usual spam, but it is strange that the comment is exactly the same as the post on that site. I guess I better get a comment captcha installed.
