Hey! I think 'Negative Energy' gets a bad rap.

When it comes to the Flames I'm less 'angry' and more 'resigned.'

Being angry over hockey takes too much effort.

Resignation is less horrible than just being an outright malcontent.

I agree a Debbie Downer is annoying af to be around, but toxically positive people are even worse imo.

Like actually positive or faking it?

I can’t stand the latter just because of how insincere it comes across. They really seem like a ticking time bomb to be honest. Truly happy people are great to be around though, I mean really charismatic and charming.

Nope, it used to be named that.

At the turn of the new millennium a name change was in order from the old PMS Hobby Craft to the more "politically correct" PM Hobbycraft.

I mean I would understand if you were driving half the speed limit to let cars know you're an obstacle.

But driving with the flow of traffic and having them on is so silly.

Only need to turn on your hazzard lights is if you're a potential hazzard for other people.

Oh, you're talking about the hazards? I thought you meant signal lights in general.

Either way, idiots are idiots. Who knows why they do what they do?

How the F*** is Spence Diamonds so successful. I think the business model of fake diamonds in their showcases is terrible and even worse than that is their radio commercials. They are absolutely the worst. They make me never want to set foot into one of their stores.

Are they successful? Maybe this is why they advertise so much.
