Really Bobby?

You know what really grinds my gears?

Bob Knight saying that women shouldn't be on the men's tournament selection committee and vice versa. "That really needs to be taken care of right away."

His thinking is that women pay more attention to women's basketball and men pay more attention to men's basketball. PLEASE. I haven't watched a single women's college bball game all year and have watched over a hundred men's games. I can't tell if he's sexist, ignorant, or just OLD. Bob Knight, I knew you were an asshole, I didn't realize you were a woman hater too....

Heard this one yet?

Here's a joke for you, my friends:

Have you heard the OctoMom special that Denny's is running?


It's 8 eggs, no sausage, and the guy behind you pays for it.

HAHAHAHAHA. oh man. hilarious.

What? You've heard that one? Well there were two muffins sitting in the oven. Muffin #1 says to Muffin #2, 'wow it's really hot in here.' Muffin #2 says, 'HOLY SH*T! A TALKING MUFFIN!!!'

Thumbs up dude

You know what really grinds my gears?

The new-ish ability to "like" something someone does on Facebook.

Yeah, yeah, gimme a break, another Facebook post, but if your job was to teach grams and gramps how to set up and use the dang thang, then you too would know every intricacy of Mark Zuckerberg's book of faces and things would certainly grind your gears as well.

Anywho, I like the ability to comment on something someone 'does' on Facebook, it makes sure that your comment is directed at that funny status, not the sad one you posted yesterday about your roommate's kitty eating your beta fish (hasn't happened yet, good girl kitty!). But Zuckerberg and crew recently added the ability to 'like' something, by giving it a thumbs up. First of all, thumbs up is soooo dorky, Travis Pastrana and I are the only ones who can pull it off and make it look cool. And second of all, it's too basic! Thumbs up. So you liked it? What did you like about it? That you had a similar experience? Or what? It's just plain lazy! It's like if your buddy cracks a great joke, are you just going to look him straight in the eyes, not even give him a smirk, and throw your big, dumb thumb at him, huh? Are you? No of course not! That's not the kind of reaction he expects, rather, yearns for and you know that. So people, if you absolutely feel the need to 'like' something, throw in a comment about why you 'like' it. Geesh.

Watch...who?

You know what really grinds my gears?

This Watchmen movie hype.

I asked two friends, SteveO and thePony to tell me everything they know about Watchmen.
thePony: "I have never even heard of it"
SteveO: "...absolutely nothing"

If you don't know thePony or SteveO, sucks for you, but they usually have a pretty good hold on pop culture.

So apparently Watchmen is a multi-issue comic book series that takes place in an alternate history in the US where the country is edging closer to a nuclear war standard sub par comic book storyline blah blah blah BORING.

I don't know who's in this movie, I hadn't even heard of Watchmen before I started seeing Facebook and Twitter updates, "I can't wait for Watchmen! ahhh scream like a little girl!" It's not like Justin Timberlake is in the movie or anything. That reminds me, WHO is even in this movie? I should do some more research, find out the history of the story, interview Watchmen fanatics, go see the movie? Nah, like I told SteveO, I'm going to waste my $10 on Friday the 13th.

Lose my number....

You know what really grinds my gears?

Awkward one night stands.

Not that I'm saying I've had any.... I mean the whole idea of waking up not entirely sure where you are, or searching blindly for clothing items that went a strewn, then of course the lovely, "so, what's your name again?" is extremely undesirable. And the always uncomfortable wondering if numbers will be exchanged.... well at least those are all the things the movies show. Please inform me if you've met your future spouse this way, I'd love to hear the story.

Speaking of stories, the main reason for this posting really is to share with all of you a favorite article of mine. Really top 10 material. Excuse me if you've already read it, I posted it on my facebook profile so this may be old news. For those of you who haven't seen this yet, I know you'll enjoy it: ONE-NIGHT STAND MAN WAKES TO FIND LOVER HAS CARVED HER NAME INTO HIS ARM
