San Francisco 

One of those places where no one can both live and work there. Only people who can afford not to work can afford to live there. People who work there live some place like Santa Rosa or San Jose.
The natural result of San Francisco is that people who work in Santa Rosa or San Jose can't afford to live there, because people who live in Frisco took all the houses, and have to live some place like Ukiah or Modesto instead.

People used to both live and work in Modesto, but now they have to commute from Sonora or Madera. It's all Frisco's fault, and the sooner one of their faults dumps them in the ocean, the better.

corporate mentality

Large-scale practice of committee mentality within a corporate entity, (see corporate personhood).
To my phone company: You reassigned this phone number to me 6 months after you took it away from the deadbeat who didn't pay his phone bill. Why can't you understand that it's no longer his phone number? Just because you can't find him, is no cause to harass me!

Another person to his phone company: Of course I received your message that the replacement for my broken phone is ready to pick up - just as soon as I got the replacement phone and checked for messages.

Me to the Yellow Pages publisher: Of course I wanted to be listed in the yellow pages under my business name. You offered me a listing in the Yellow Pages because I'm listed as a business in the white pages didn't you? Do you see anyone else listed in the Yellow Pages by their personal name?

lynch mob 

1. A group of people that lynches someone who was accused of something, but who was never tried for it.

2. The group of people who lynched Jesus, even though he was tried and found innocent.

3. The masses of people who celebrate a lynching by displaying replicas, from their necks and on their homes and churches, of the weapon used in a lynching.
90 years ago, a lynch mob used a weapon made of rope to lynch my paternal grandfather.

2,000 years ago, a lynch mob used a weapon made of wood to lynch my Eternal Father.

I won't insult the memory of either one of them by displaying a replica of the injustice committed against either one of them.

The Ken Jennings Show

1. A game show otherwise known as Jeopardy, particularly since they no longer limit how many times the same contestant can appear on the show.

2. A steady source of income for the Mormon Church since Ken Jennings tithes 10% of his gross.
My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.

Goodbye cruel forum 

A shorter form of I'm leaving the board forever, usually posted by people with ADHD, PMS, or menopause, CAPSLOCKERS, dyslexics, n00bs and duh-weebs who are disoriented because they haven't taken the time to learn how to properly use a particular forum's features or interact with people on it.
1. N00b posts message and returns three weeks later and can't find it because it has been scrolled off to the second page by three weeks worth of newer messages:

Who did you $&*^@* delete my message!!! Goodbye Cruel ForuM?????

2. ADHD sufferer submits several messages, after each of which is notified that each message will be reviewed for posting; is too impatient to read that, so:

WHY CAN"T I POST MESSGES LIKE ANYBUDY ELSE? GOODBYE CRUEL FORUM!!!!

3. Capslocker: I WUZ CALM DOWN TIL ALL YOU TOLD ME TO CLAM DOWN!!! GOOD BYE CRLUE FORUM!?!!

4. Dyslexic: I dono wat u mean by my nice gisnature, but u shudnt talk to peeple that way! Goodby cruel forum!

5. Duh-weeb tries to insult someone, but replies to the wrong message and insults someone else. That person replies in kind, and duh-weeb tries to insult him too, but again replies to the wrong message and insults another innocent bystander, and on and on...

Why are all you guys on his side against me??? Goodbye cruel forum!!!
