You know, The Bullpen is great, but it ain’t enough.
I think the readers need a place to vent, a place to complain, a place to pull up their pants to theirĀ armpits and give everyone the what for.
I’m going to put a widget in the upper left hand side of the sidebar from time to time to let everyone know there is a new rant. And I don’t care what the rant is. It could be about the guy who cut you off coming out of Dunkin Donuts, or it could be about the bad haircut you just got. Sometimes you just needĀ to Howard Beale.
Send rants to BigFurHat.mail@gmail.com and put “reader rant” in the subject line.
(BigFurHat reserves the right to edit, or not publish, the rant if it could potentially open iOTWreport to any legal trouble.)
You can count on hearing from me, dagnabbit !!
lol. How great is this idea?
How great is it to write a rant and then send the link to the target of your rant anonymously?
So they can’t just hijack a thread like they used to?
So much for open and unfiltered.
When I go on a rant….I don’t pull my pants up to my armpits.
I prefer to pull them down to my ankles and bend over so they can kiss my ass.
ymmv
Giving me carte blanche to rant is like giving your credit card to Kim Kardashian and setting her loose in Louis Vuitton.
Or like giving Obama a pen and a phone.
Okay, I’m done.
Maybe Brad can tell us what pissed him off last time. That he wants to “rag doll” someone who probably is younger and stronger and would kick his ass up and down the East coast.
This is like the 6th time someone said something that he wanted to fight them. Which is funny cause he is in his late 50’s. And isn’t the tough guy he was 20 years ago.
so is this is a filter designed to keep the rants out of the main body and off to the side, or do you really want people to send their complaints to you?
@Stranded
And that goes for you too! Michelle!
Choke on a drumstick Fatass!

I saw a map of Taiwan on the Travel Channel the other night, and it had Taipei labeled as “Taipei, China”. When did the PRC occupy Taiwan? Or alternately, when did the Travel Channel throw Taiwan under the bus? Is this now standard policy on TV? I feel a rant coming on.
This idea is tailor made for Big Bad Brad the Blow Hard!
I expect a commission.
Seems to be different comments in two different places for the same post. I read these comments here, went back to home page, noticed a BFH comment on “Reader Rants” that I hadn’t seen, so clicked it, and went to a different set of comments. Same thing happened on another post. Twilight Zone? Is that normal? Did I miss a memo?
Great idea for “Reader Rants”, I’m SURE my husband will appreciate you for it!
So i shouldnt wear my pants up under my armpits??? Who knew?? Would a “boob-belt” be ok cuz our president’s wife wears one, ya know…nevermind…
Reader Rants – a great idea.

My hot water heater is ready to go out…….I’ll start there
Filter???? I’m actually elevating tension to a higher showcase!
Geri – what you’re seeing is the result of naming a post the same as a page.
Some people are commenting on the PAGE (the area you access through the menu bar and where the rants will reside.)
Some people are commenting here, a post about the page. (are you sufficiently confused yet?)
So, in the sidebar, the recent comments are showing two different commenting spots both with the same name… or something.
Don’t worry, nothing’s broken.
I just thought of a good one that happened to me a couple months ago. Can I include an image of smoking debris and fried electronic devices?
Thirdtwin,
I don’t think seeing “Taipei, China” is that unusual, especially in Taiwan, since they have always called themselves ‘China’, or “Republic of China,” being the remnants of the original rulers in Peking before the Reds took over. We’re the ones who can’t call them ‘China’, right? It pisses the Reds off when we do. But they do it all the time in Taipei when Beijing isn’t watching.
But don’t let me interrupt a good rant! š
BFH, Yes, I am sufficiently confused, but thank you. Just so it’s okay, I’m still traumatized from the olden days on iOTW. I think I get it, though.
I like Brad, a lot (I’m not gay). But we know he is tuff. A lot of people are tough
But we are his friends. Don’t threaten us with violence. Tell us what we did wrong and we’ll try not to go there again. I think Brad is sensitive to not knowing how to
Do some things like spell. So he gets pissed and wants to beat people up.
But. Just tell us. Hay…. Lay off the you can’t spell shit or I’ll kick your ass.
Again I know people like Brad. You have to walk on eggshells to not offend them. Or they will beat you up.
On his case
There’s a few comments here that I truly don’t know what the hell they are talking about…Brad/michelle/fatass/stranded/whatever……can you hire Whoopi to moderate this?
What am I, a mind-reader?
Use your damn turn signals, people!
Well I see it’s time to set the clocks back again.
Why in God’s Green Earth don’t they just split the difference and LEAVE IT ALONE?
