They just make you go "meh".

I think this forum name change gives us the freedom to not label threads posted herein as either "Rant:" or "Rave:" or "Meh:".

Just let it fly and people will figure it out.

And that's a good thing.

Dammit.

And that's a good thing. Or maybe it's a bad thing.

Fixed for "meh-ness"

It should be more like:

Coldplay isn't great, but they're not really bad either
Family Guy is on a lot, but I'm not necessarily complaining about that
Carrots are fine, but it's not like I eat them everyday
Mine's not really a rave. While I feel excellent and want a nap, I am at work and thus will be deprived of a nap and will not feel excellent for long.
Hmm, this is an interesting situation. Does your rave turning into a rant become a meh? Personally, I'd say no. A meh much originate on its own terms and can not be a product of a rant and rave canceling each other out. For example, you can't have a day where you have sex with Amy Adams, but then get herpes from the experience, and then when someone asks how your day was say "meh". No sir, that was a day that started as a rave but ended as a rant, it wasn't a meh day.

Considering herpes is manageable and you can still have great sex and herpes at the same time, I'd say this hypothetical day would be an unmitigated Rave.

/Not that I have herpes

//Not that there's anything wrong with that

///Some of my best friends have herpes

////My father has herpes

/////No he doesn't

I wasn't saying you were. I knew I could poke fun at him because he's never here to defend himself anymore.

EDIT: But note that my stance on his absence is rightfully placed in this meh thread.

I have trouble believing that if I took a plate of Rice Krispies Treats and just threw them in the trash before you could eat one, you'd just say "meh". A bowl of oatmeal, sure. But RKTs?

Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong.
You were wise to hide them from me. Now your failure is complete. If you will not eat them, then perhaps I will.

If someone threw away a plate of perfect good rice krispy treats I would punch them in the face.

That's because you can't afford food...
