ManWithPez

I imagined Satan being somewhat less...annoying.

Suffice it to say that the Annoyance list from last week was one of my more successful articles, thanks in part to the intelligence of my ex-girlfriend.  The picture of her rack probably didn’t hurt matters either.  Unfortunately, I have no such goodies to offer.  (Oooooh…and they were good, trust me.)  So, I’ll have to get by on my own.  Sucks to be you, six readers!  (Hi, Mrs. Nelson…first grade teacher!)  Ten new ways to annoy people starts after the jump.

Shifty eyed manservants! No wonder they're always being accused of crimes!

Butlers throughout fiction are know for their discretion, their reserve, and their work ethic.  Being good at all these thing doesn’t necessarily mean a good butler, since on the whole, it’s a butler that gives his master a comeuppance of some kind that most people seem to like.  The good thing about this list is that there are so many butlers in all forms of media that I can just keep writing about them if I like.  So, don’t be surprised if I’m quite lazy one day and produce a second part to this list when I can’t think of anything else to do.  Or rather, my manservant can’t come up with one.  (That’s my motto:  Blame the help!)  The best butlers after the jump!

Admit it...this was the only part of her you were going to look at anyways. (And who could blame you?) Photo courtesy of Niki (AKA: That Girl I Used To Nail)

HA!  You’ve probably read that title, and thought “Great!  A list about how ex-girlifriends are annoying!”  WRONG!  This particular list was written by one of my ex-girlfriends, Niki.  My simple way of annoying her here in this list intro is by referring to her as both the author and “That Girl I Used To Nail”.   Somehow, if she’s writing this for me, I don’t think she’ll find that much umbrage in the statement.  Also, if you’re looking at the lovely rack to the right of my finely crafted introduction, you will have discovered at least two of her nicest assets.  Well, not only is the body beautifully bountiful, but the brain bubbling inside is brilliant, as this list will show.  So, written by @survivingniki (That’s the Twitter handle), presented by me, ManWithPez (You’re at my site…or the Twilight Zone, one or the other) here’s Niki’s Ten New Ways to Annoy People (Which is already bullshit, because there’s 11, but since I lost almost every argument we had when we were together ten years ago, who’s counting.)

I guess Santas don't get much more alternative than this.

Sure, there are plenty of Christmas movies out there, and for the most part…well, they suck!  There’s a scant handful that are worth a damn, and every year about this time they’re rammed down our throat until we want to barf eggnog.  And not even good eggnog, but the Wal Mart special eggnog.  So, here’s a list of ten of my favorite films that happen to take place around Christmas, but aren’t inherently Christmas movies.

It would appear that annoying people is a surefire way of gaining fans.  I’ve more than a few now, thanks to dispensing new and possibly completely unwanted ways of annoying people.  And, coming off the most annoying holiday of the year (barring Super Annoyance Day((patent pending))) Thanksgiving, it’s time I put up a new list that isn’t almost entirely generated by things my family did to me during a visit.  Unfortunately for people who hate Christmas (there’s plenty) most of my lists this month will take on a Yule theme.  So, here’s ten new ways to annoy people after the jump.

An annoying bird for an annoying holiday.

This list may be a bit different than some in the past.  I’ve spent the whole week away from my girlfriend, away from my children for the most part, and in the company of my parents and siblings.  All those slf deprecating things I’ve said about me being annoying?  I take all that back.  I’m nothing.  I’m an amateur.  These people have stock in trade about how to be annoying, and yes, I’m just a bit bitter about it.   The ten newest ways to annoy people starts now.

You try writing something like this without Huey Lewis being stuck in YOUR head!

November is time travel month here at ManWithPez, as I’ve pointed out any number of times, courtesy of Doctor Emmett Brown and the invention of the Flux Capacitor on Nov, 5th.  What better time to wheel out a top ten list of my personal favorite time machines in various forms of fiction.  I love the time travel plot device, and some of the machines that writers and prop builders come up with are some of the coolest looking machines ever.  Let’s get started! (more…)

The single most annoying character in all of video games.

As stated previously, annoying people is far too easy not to do.  In fact, most of us do it without ever knowing we’re doing it.  Me, personally, I try to keep an eye out for such things, and not just because I write a weekly article about how to do it.  For instance, a waiter at a local eatery recently spoke entirely directly into my ear.  You think he knew he was being annoying?  He does now, however.  New Ways to Annoy after the jump.

And here, we see Alton Brown holding the actual head of Chuck Norris.

Oh, we’ve been down this avenue before with Alton Brown.  Honestly, I think given the proper preparation time and tools, Alton could actually take down old Beardface.  What, you find that nickname offensive, Norris fans?  Okay, I’ll just start calling him Sasquatch.  Actually, I’m kinda worried that one of my grandparents or another will come over to this site and find me badmouthing Walker.  I’ll probably be disowned.  Heh…It’s worth it.  Alton Brown vs Chuck Norris Round II starts now.

Hmmm...sinister janitor. This'll end well.

I was disheartened when I started research for this Top Ten, to find that between us, ThatCostumeGirl and I weren’t the first ones to come up with the idea. (Also, between us, neither of us can remember whose idea it was, so I’m keeping things on the level…for now.)  There’s a few lists out there about this very thing.  Having reviewed those lists, I can safely say that while there is some overlap, I don’t think I’m stepping on anyone’s toes.  So, without further need for anyone to get out that strange smelling sawdust that janitors put on puke, here’s the ten most kickass custodial engineers in fiction.
