On a lighter note...sorta
...at times I can sympathize with Baltar...while I wouldn't sell out the human race to extermination by the Cylons...I can understand where the brother was comin' from...
...but, I digress...the Evil Doug of logical discourse has been patched up and put back into his trunk for the time being to recover. Filling in is Evil Doug of being randomly ticked off...
WHY THE HECK do banks charge more for money orders than the post office? Huh? I mean, I have an ACCOUNT there and it's like 5 bucks! Post office is .90!
Why, please PLEASE tell me, why the HECK do they only have TWO cash registers open at Wal-Mart when the store is ALWAYS packed at 3 pm? And WHY THE HECK do people with a whole CART load end up in front of me AND write a check AND balance their checkbook before tearing it out to give to the cashier...? WHY?!
Alright...I'm gonna have to pay to get my car fixed...but if I find who hit it...
Why is it that the only cool stuff on the planet is always expensive, yet stuff that sucks is so cheap? I don't mean popular stuff...I hate popular stuff, I mean the really obscure DVD's and CD's man...why do they have to be so pricey?
Case in point...the Met production of Ring of the Nibelung. From what I gather, it was a live performance that was recorded. SO, the actors, the theatre, they all got money from those in attendance. SO, why the heck does the DVD cost $120? There are NO extras other than subtitles...so production costs for this set isn't high.
What IS it about pink that makes you feel so good? I don't know, but the Wal-Mart TV Network keeps asking me this during its frequent commercials for Venus shavers...I don't know...please tell me...but no, it doesn't. It ends the commercial with the music...the "I'm your venus!" crap, but never tells me what it is about pink that makes me feel so good! Are they expecting me to wait for the sequel commercial to find out? WHAT THE HECK! You know what, I don't think I care anymore why pink makes me feel so good, ya hear me Wal-Mart TV Network...so NO I will not "Look up...look up..." thank you very much.
Tom Brokaw raises his eyebrows too much...it ticks me off. Is this the only form of expression this man has? He's a monotone, so he sure as heck can't use inflection to convey emotion...guess I should pity him...must suck being his wife:
"Honey these are (raises eyebrows) very good mashed potatoes."
"That's a lie, Tom! You raised your eyebrows BEFORE the adjective!"
"That's a (raises eyebrows) vicious lie. NBC's Monica Fletcher has the shocking (raises eyebrows) report."
And why the HECK is it that everyone says they are reminded of Carlton from Fresh Prince when asked to describe me? Not that I'm offended, as Carlton was all that, but WHY?
Why does music suck so much lately? And why did it suck back then? And where are all the answers? After all these years, we are no closer to knowing who let the dogs out! Who, then, if I may ask, DID shoot the sheriff? Huh? And fools have yet to discover why falling in love comes natural to them...nor do I know who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop...dagnabbit!
Why don't they make Reese's White Chocolate eggs WITHOUT regular chocolate in'em? And why does ALL good ice cream throw chocolate in it? Mint CHOCOLATE chip...peanut butter CHOCOLATE...what if I don't WANT chocolate?
WAH WAH WAH...I'm just feeling particularly nasty...best to get it outta my system...
Why can't they put OFF and ON on computers instead of the I and 0? Which is it? Ignition and Off? Which is which?
Current Mood: Filled with impotent rage and a sense that Wal-Mart is out to get me...
Current Music: Somebody's eyes are watching...
