Happy new year guys!!!
Tap water is awesomeness. We use it everyday in our house. I buy bottled water mainly for the bottle to use at the gym. I did finally get a good reusable bottle for that purpose now.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, GO RAGE! Still love those guys.
QOTW: Seriously? Two Thousand Ten. John, you're killin' me Smalls.
Ali, Robby already got it!!!
ReplyDeleteI am all for ending divorce! But, I think we should then have to allow of polygamy... Hmm... Maybe not such a good idea. If only we had Doc Brown's time machine.
Jon Woodhouse has sported a metal water bottle for a while. It's super green.
That is true that Facebook is so huge now that it really can be pointed at for just about everything. Hmm... It probably could be cited for helping more than the 20% of marriages that get destroyed... Just like phones, letters and smoke signals of previous generations.
Hmm...
Oh, Robby, NO WAY!!!
ReplyDeleteCrap, I didn't even catch the first part of Robby's post! Foiled again!
ReplyDeleteThe Facebook thing, I have to agree that people will use whatever excuse. I know I might get scolded for this, but if you're married to the right person, this kind of stuff isn't an issue. Just saying.
Forgive me, it's been a little while since I've checked the blog, but I've gotta say that I really like the more organized style with topic headings.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, some of us don't always have time to read the blog before we listen, so don't forget that we don't always know what you're referring to.
Do the work for me!
Rage got back together. They continue to amaze me 15 years (holy shit!) after I first heard them.
ReplyDeleteI like tap water. 100 ounces a day does a body good. I don't like plugs about Jon Woodhouse's awesomeness. There can only be one super awesome Jon/John in Dave's life, and I like it to be me. Although I'm like the fourth or fifth awesomest Jon/John I know...
I think people should do whatever they want re: marriage. Gay, straight, polygamy, divorce, inter-species... who really cares? It's a bullshit ceremony made up by some religious guys millenia ago to keep people and their money in their particular church or group. The government sells licenses, the church sells salvation and makes it "official," and the strip mall bakeries and tux shops make a few bucks too. Big deal. All I can say is that it's pretty messed up that I can marry someone I kind of like, grow to hate them, get divorced, and repeat as many times as I want just because I have hetero DNA. Totally negates the sanctity/love/sacred/official argument.
Re: Dave's blog: Anybody who wants to teach because it's a "good job" is screwed up for many reasons and should probably be a plumber, garbage collector, or pizza delivery person. Those jobs all make from $10-100 per hour, have flexible schedules, and in my opinion are very respectable and vital to society. I'm being serious. I don't want some idiot trying to teach my kid math if all they're thinking about is summers off and leaving at 3:15. When teachers get all butt-hurt about the hours, the pay, or the work, I say take your degree and do something else with your life. Math smarts = money. English, history, art = very easy to relate to almost any career on a resume. Don't wanna teach gym, work in a gym. A degree, regardless in what, is marketable. Quit bitching and do something with your lives, disgruntled teachers. You are not special. You are not an anointed chosen few. You are people who applied for jobs like everyone else. Nobody is anything unique because of their job. It's all the same bullshit.
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I am my khakis. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI think we should reference what we're talking about a little bit more... We have the articles in front of us and we just skim over content that is unknown to the viewers. So, we should be a little more considerate in that regard. I'll call it a resolution of sorts.
