At first, then I thought "I hope bridget99 got home well."
-
Ok, I have to ask...
Why the firefighters?
-
On second thought, I agree. It looks like there could be a pretty interesting story behind it all. Bridget99 should tell it some time.

5. Glass
Surely not glass!? The stuff that lets in light but keeps out the wind? The stuff that we use to see not only the microscopic worlds in a drop of pond water but distant objects in the vastness of space. The stuff we drink beer out of?
-
Define Gimmicky Traffic light.
Do you get a green light only if you're the tenth caller?
Do they try to sell you on a 2 year green light plan?
Are they essentially a large iPhone?

I can screw my own girlfriend and trash my own house without their help. Charging me taxes for theses privileges on top of it all is gratuitous.

Why is anything made out of glass in this day and age? It can be instantaneously transformed into a terrifying weapon. At least bullets put nice neat holes in things. Glass under sufficient stress (i.e. not much stress) turns into a hail of shrapnel. And yet, it surrounds us.
I suppose my attitude is that, if we cannot afford to all have autos with windows made from optical synthetics, then perhaps more of us should walk. The glass seems half-arsed to me.
-
Carnival, the cruise line?

You know the glass in cars doesn't "turn into a hail of shrapnel" right? At least not outside China.

Things I Do Not Like
I don't like lists of things. Especially lists of things that people don't like.

<font color="#0000FF">Top 10 Things I Dislike About Top 10 Lists</font>
10. Nobody cares what you like or don't like
9. Charlie Sheen's liver
8. Error - the printer is on fire
7. A tendency to be overly cromulent
6. You gotta nuke something
5. The reliability analysis metrics executable has stopped working
4. Glass
3. David Letterman constantly rejects all my best ideas
2. TL;DR
<font color="#0000FF">and the Number One Thing I Dislike About Top 10 Lists </font>
1. I'm never on any of the good ones

@El_Heffe said:
9. Charlie Sheen's liver
Well, it may just not be from this particular realm. But where's the problem? He's a total fricken rock star from Mars and has tiger blood. If his liver wasn't winning, how would he keep rolling at all?

There is an alternative.

Side windows do!
Yes and no. They turn into little cubes. They're kind of sharp if you crawl on them with bare skin, but they aren't the serious impalement risk of normal glass. Some car manufacturers are actually putting the laminated glass in the side windows now - but they're catching a lot of flak from firefighters (lol) about the fact that you can't fucking break that shit.I should know, I engaged in a bit of paint-swapping in my racecar and received a faceful of window glass from the other car in return. With my visor open. They weren't even supposed to have the glass installed - it slipped through tech.

It really is. Who'd fall for that?

You were talking about your own post, right?

If your best ideas are sufficiently bad that someone as profoundly unfunny as David Letterman rejects them, then you are TRWTF.

It's a creative exercise!
Write a short poem/essay/anecdote that uses all these terms. For bonus points, insert them chronologically in the order they're listed.

You bastard. I just wrote an awesome story out of these 10 things just to be reminded of how CS likes to kill all your work after you hit back when it tells you that "oops, something went wrong!". Anyway, the story was about a British bloke who wasted his Sunday trying to get to his sister's wedding, only to ultimately learn that he's a week early. It was really well written. You'll just have to imagine that now.

Extra credit if you make it about bridget99.

You'll just have to imagine that now.I find it interesting that, knowing what you know about CS, you trust it to correctly post what you type. Instead of, say, typing in another, reliable, application and keeping it there until you know it's posted for sure.

It's probably because the text field here is so huge on my 1080p screen, making it look inviting and seem confidential. And then the preview function that reassures me, "Yep, everything's gonna be awesome".
Maybe I should make me a GreaseMonkey script that auto-launches an external editor when I click reply.

10? Your list has more than two things. =(

Ah yes, the old windowpane-turned-knife. Almost as terrifying to the assailant as it is to the victim.
