New Rules
« on: March 11, 2008, 11:45:59 AM »
Just sayin'.....

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com!  There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years.  Because you don't particularly like them!? Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days--mowing my lawn.
 
New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull.  People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili.  Hey, it cost less than a dollar.  What did you expect it to contain?? Trout?
 
 
New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope.  If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols.  If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.
 
New Rule:? Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone.  Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.
 
New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water.  There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste.  Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink.  You want flavored water?  Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt.  That's your flavored water.
 
New Rule: Stop screwing with old people.  Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label.  And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.
 
New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the idiot.  If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge idiot.
 
New Rule: I'm not the cashier!  By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.
 
New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual.  It's right above the crack of your fanny.  And it translates to "beef with broccoli."  The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant.  You're not spiritual.  You're just high.
 
New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport.   It's one of the seven deadly sins.  ESPN recently televised the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too danged exciting. What's next, competitive farting???  Oh wait!?  They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."
 
New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&Ms.  If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.
 
New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens.  Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.
 
New Rule: No more gift registries.  You know, it used to be just for weddings.  Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab.  Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.
 
New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants.?  After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael.  I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish.  I don't want to be on your web cam, dude.  I just want to wash my hands.
 
 
New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months.  "27 Months."  "He's two," will do just fine.  He's not a cheese.  And I didn't really care in the first place.
 
New Rule: If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh.  If so, then plan your future around saying, "Do you want fries with that?"

I've never heard it called anything but a tramp stamp, so you just added a new phrase to my vocabulary.  Butt hat. heh.  That's funny.  It seems like all the young women have them.  Even the tellers at my bank let 'em show once in awhile.  And some of them have tatoos on the back of their necks, also.

I know a guy who for some unknown reason has a fish head tattooed on the back of his neck. I always think "He's got Dagon on his neck. Cool." when I see him.

Young, eh?  Well, I'm still under thirty.  Many or most of my contemporaries have 'em.  As for me the world will never know, because I know how wear a shirt that is freaking long enough to cover my behind and pants that fit properly. 

But for the record, no, not all young women have them.  If this soon-to-be old crone, at 29, still counts.

Grampster is grumpy today.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

What kind of Godforsaken place has bathroom attendants nowadays? Just curious. Never seen one, and I'd like to avoid them if possible.

Come on down to the Virginia State Fair!  The mens' rooms got some of the strangest-looking non-homeless folks I ever did see handing out paper towels and staring at the center of your being as they point to the paper plate full of quarters and the "Please Pay Attendant" sign.  Have no idea what is in the ladies' bathroom because I'm too old to accompany anybody in there, and too scared to ask.

stay safe.

Since Virginia's frighteningly close to DC, I get the notion that those bathroom attendants might be male prostitutes... otherwise, it's just frightening to think of.

Thanks, Grampster. That's the first laugh I've had in a couple of days.

Oh, and you don't like having to swipe your credit card at the checkout counter? Try going to Home Depot. You check everything out yourself. You swipe the bar codes on the packages, you try to figure out the damn computer screen, you weigh the items (why?), you swipe your credit card...you do everything. And if you don't do it fast enough, some computer-generated voice berates you.

Meanwhile, there's some young clerk standing there to make sure you do everything right. Unless Home Depot has an intern program, I'm pretty sure that young clerk is getting paid to watch customers swear at the self-checkout computer.

I'll bet my best pair of underwear that the dim bulb at Home Depot who came up with this cost-saving idea was previously employed with FEMA.

Dear <deity of choice> in <place of choice> I hope not!

Those fellas are maybe, on a good day, 2 steps above homeless in dress and time from last full bath & simultaneous clothes washing.  They are much angrier/meaner than the homeless - OK, except for Ralphie who stands ouit by the on-ramp to I-95 and cusses anybody he thinks is going over 15MPH.  But Ralphie says "Thanks" when I bring him an egg salad sammich from the inconvenience store while those guys just look like they are daring you to not leave a quarter.

I asked last year, and found out they are hired by the State Fair to hand out paper towels.  Supposedly keeps folks from stealing towels or something.

stay safe.

I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

My cousin's kid came back from Iraq two years ago with one of the "Asiatic Lettering" tats. This thread got me curious so I called him about it.  His is the translation of his Cherokee name.  He started laughing when I mentioned it maybe not meaning what he thought.  When he was stationed in Korea one of his buddies got drunk and made a midnight run to a back-ally tat parlor.  Apparently he ticked off the artist because his tat formally translates to "My anus is raw meat".  I'll leave it to you what the informal translation is...
