Also, there was some nutter further up my street using his snowblower in the middle of the road. He must really like his snowblower.
You would say that, you're black.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Has it started to snow?
Not here, yet.
I heard that one of the local school bus drivers said that there was a 90% chance that my town's public schools would have a snow day tomorrow.
Everyone seemed to be banking on us having a snow day tomorrow, but I really hope not. We just had one on Friday and I have stuff to do!! I need my cheap labor students there tomorrow to get some props made.

there is nothing worse than a snow day when you need to get shit done. you can't enjoy the snow day because you're fretting about work.

Couples annoy each other more as they grow old together.
I can't think about this statement in relation to my parents without going to a very muddled zone, but I have to say, I find that kind if blanket statement suspect. Then again, some people get more annoying as they grow older, might be why their spouses find them more irritating.

Couples annoy each other more as they grow old together.I'd like to see the survey questions when they come out. Because I believe it, but I suspect that you could say "Couples ___ each other more as they grow old together" and it'd be generally true, whether it's "annoy" or "appreciate" or "adore" or "bicker with."
I certainly get more annoyed by friends that I've known longer. But I also enjoy their company more. They aren't mutually exclusive feelings.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Hmmm.....some things are more annoying, or more accurately -get an annoyed response more quickly. But the annoying things matter less, even if I react faster.
for example. DH has very strong opinion about X. I agree - how ever , in general, my response is more moderate ( no I actually don't believe some one should get a body part cut off for doing action A, however that is because I believe violence is not an good idea, not because action A is a good idea). This causes DH to rant, which will not change my mind, but will annoy me. I react faster, but I don't really dwell on it like I did when we were first together.

Wait, isn't he back in Arkansas now, or am I mistaking the direction of his recent move?

He's in Arkansas, and they got it too. Big old nasty storm. Heard 30+ dead on NPR.
