Beef Story #100

Author: Reuben

Hmmm, it's the 100th beef file. You'd think I'd save the 100th beef file for some momentous, gigantic beef story, but no. Why am I the only one posting beef? Am I the only one who has beef now-a-days? I even overhear people I know MISUSE and ABUSE the true meaning of beef. Maybe the beef files really are dying and now this is just a bunch of complaining and whining from me. Which is what I kind of intended it to be in the first place so oh well.

I have beef with SPAM. Not the good spam that most hardcore flips enjoy, but the evil kind that gets in your email accounts everyday. All of my email addresses receive tons of spam which must be deleted each day. Even my old Rice account, which used to be virtually spam-free is now nothing but spam, spam, spam. And the beefiest part is that Hotmail now provides so-called "junk filters" but when I turn it on it filters out all of my REAL email and puts all of the CRAP email in my inbox. What's up with that?


THE VERDICT: CHOO CHOO~!!!

Beef Story #99

Author: Reuben

Okay, so my newest beef is with electrical plugs that aren't designed to share space with other plugs. You've probably seen it before--you buy a cool gadget from Best Buy and you go to plug it in only to find out that there's not enough space on any convenient wall outlets since you've already got two surge protectors full of plugs there waiting to explode. After the difficult task of deciding which appliance/computer component/video game system to unplug, you find out that the plug for your newest toy doesn't fit anywhere unless you remove almost ALL the plugs because the plug is so FREAKIN' HUGE and takes up like a million spaces. Don't they know that we've got other things to plug into the wall and don't have the space for these huge plugs? At least Nintendo got it right with the Gamecube because they made the plug normal size and the huge part is far enough away where you don't have to worry about it taking up space. As for the rest of you electronic companies...GET IT STRAIGHT.
