Festivus 2015 -- The Airing of Grievances

[smstonypoint]

The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!

Festivus (December 23) is over a week away, but it may take some time for TBN members to enumerate their grievances. I will begin.

1. The English language continues to be subject to criminal abuse on TBN. Spelling and punctuation errors, homophone abuse, noun and verb confusion (advice versus advise, effect versus affect, etc.), and flouting of the rules of subject and verb agreement are examples of this abuse. The abuse is so rampant that the Grammar Police have declared TBN unsafe for patrol.

2. Too many TBN members are slackers when it comes to copying and pasting passages with special characters. For example,

But even during a crisis, dissertations and economic journals did not fit Wall Street痴 aggressive climate. 展all Street had started to hire [academics], but only for research, where they壇 be out of harm痴 way, financial journalist Roger Lowenstein wrote of the early 1980s. 典he eggheads were stigmatized as 倉uants, unfit for the man痴 game of trading.

The History of the Black-Scholes Formula

can be edited by a conscientious poster to read

But even during a crisis, dissertations and economic journals did not fit Wall Street's aggressive climate. "Wall Street had started to hire [academics], but only for research, where they'd be out of harm's way," financial journalist Roger Lowenstein wrote of the early 1980s. "The eggheads were stigmatized as 'quants,' unfit for the man's game of trading."

3. Some TBN members pose questions, but then fail to supply information that is needed to provide answers. To illustrate, we are approaching the second anniversary of this query from sparc.

Don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but couldn't find a better place.

I have noticed over the past few years that the local farm fields get populated with a pair of pallets leaned up against each other to form a inverted V shape. they are always out near the middle of the field, in a line, and about 500 to 700 feet apart.

Now during the Spring and Summer they are nowhere to be seen, and in late Fall they are out there again. As far as I know (not having been out in the middle of these fields) from driving by every day there is nothing out there that needs protection such as a irrigation pipe, so I can not figure out what purpose they serve. No one is out in those fields over the winter to do damage to anything except maybe some one riding their snowmobile if we get measurable snow which is not too common here.

Could someone explain the reason for these? I see them on more than one farm throughout our county.

That one would even look for the faults of others is a trait worthy of correction.

I've got a grievance - the Republican primary contest. It's constantly on every media you look at. And it has all the appeal of professional wrestling. Donald Trump is the new Andre the Giant.
