haha, It’s not what you say, but how you say it. You’re the doo doo could mean the same thing, but it definitely sounds a bit more on the negative “wtf did you just say?” side… but if you add an exclamation point at the end and say it cheerfully it changes the meaning, no? haha

It comes from drugs. As in ” you got the shit?” It was initially derogatory, but the euphoric high is coveted and sought after, thus it became a complement to say that someone is “the shit”

I never got that either…  but your illustration of “the shit” is spot on and hilarious!

I hypothesize the compliment was originally lengthier, something to the effect of “The Sh!t-stomping Motherf#cking King!”  Later, people shortened to the compliment to simply “The Sh!t.”

Lol. Gotta admire the way your brain works. Your rendition of the talking poop is a bit disturbing though, not nearly as cute as Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo. Lol.

Similarly, when people say “stick it to The Man” and when people say “You da Man!”, they must mean different ‘Men’.

This post was the shit.

My interpretation of it is that during the vietnam war, US Soldiers would drink Vietnamese coffee that had the beans fermented in civet dung. This coffee was so better than regular coffee because the enzymes in the digestive tract of a civet would break down the proteins and enhance the flavor. Therefore…the coffee was better because it was the shit. Stood by among the soldiers that “the shit” was good and therefore became common lingo to use in other forms of communication.

Of course i’m talking completely out of my ass right now, but i figured this would be a fun way of answering your comic 🙂

Monday March 12, 2012
I read an article about another airline booting a family off of a flight because the parents couldn’t get one of their children to stop throwing a fit. I love reading stories like this. I love them because I am so sick of this belief that we should sympathize with parents who can’t control their misbehaving kids. “Oh, boo hoo…you kicked me off of a flight because my child was screaming and kicking. You owe us an apology.” No, you’re the one who owes the apology. Have you ever been trapped on a flight with a screaming child before? I have…twice. And both times were hell.

The first time was back when my sister and I were flying home for winter break. We sat in front of a family that had two daughters: one screamed and shrieked the entire flight; the other kept kicking the back of my sister’s seat. The second time involved me sitting next to a toddler who screamed and cried for almost 6 straight hours. Nothing compares to the misery of those flights. I once sat through a 10-hour flight while stricken with food poisoning…oh, and I was assigned the awful middle seat and couldn’t go to the bathroom without tapping the people next to me. Even that experience was way more tolerable than sitting through a 6-hour flight with a screaming kid.

The thing is, even though I know the people on those flights were just as irritated as I was, none of us said anything to the parents. It was somehow engrained in our minds that we were supposed to just deal with it…to give the parents a pass because they were parents. But there’s a problem: if the parents aren’t going to do something about their children, then who is? It’s not like I could go up to a stranger’s kid and scold some sense into it. My ass would get hauled off to jail. Instead, we have to rely on the parents. But if they’re not going to school their kids, then we’re sh*t out of luck. And that doesn’t seem fair at all.

So I applaud those airlines that have been willing to say “We’re not going to take your kid’s crap anymore. Get the steppin’!” I only wish more establishments would do that…especially restaurants. And of course I have a story to explain why.

A friend and I went out to eat one day. The place was pretty busy, and we were told to wait for the next available table. Also waiting for a table was a large group of about 10 adults and children. One of the kids was a little boy (he was maybe about 6 years old or something…I’m not good with ages) who was waving his arms around and tweeting. I don’t mean “tweeting” as in he was posting something on Twitter. The kid was literally shrieking “tweet tweet” over and over again.

03.11 (1)

This tweeting was beyond obnoxious–and the kid wouldn’t shut up! And the more he kept at it, the more pissed off I became. At one point, I was actually trying to figure out a way to “accidentally” knock him on his face so that he bit his tongue off and then shattered all his teeth.

I couldn’t think of anything that would give me the ideal results, so I resorted to a more passive aggressive tactic: the “F*ck Off” face. You know what I’m talking about, right? It’s that glare you give to inconsiderate assholes…like, the asshole who coughs and sneezes without covering his mouth, or the other asshole who takes a call in the middle of a movie. Yeah, that face.

Anyway, although the kid’s tweeting made using the “F*ck Off” face totally appropriate, I was not going to use it on him. I mean, he’s a child. He probably wouldn’t understand the message that my eyeballs were trying to convey. It would be a waste of energy glaring at him.

Instead, I used the “F*ck Off” face on the kid’s mom–who was sitting in a chair right next to him, could see and hear her son being an obnoxious sh*t, but didn’t say a damn thing to him. So I decided to let her know that she needed to pick up the parental pace. Whenever the kid tweeted, I would turn to look at him–thus showing mom that people were noticing her son’s bad behavior–and then I would turn to mom and give her the “F*ck Off” face. I did this about three times before she got the hint. Great, I thought, she’s going to shut him up.

But instead of giving her son anything even remotely close to resembling discipline, mom just muttered a few words. And before you start thinking that maybe the kid was retarded or whatever, he wasn’t…because as his mom was speaking to him, he cut her off by covering his ears. And what did mom do? She gave up!

03.11 (2)

Soon after watching this woman’s weak-ass attempt at keeping her child in check, the waitress came by and led their party of 10 to a table towards the back of the restaurant. And as they walked away, another waitress came over to seat my friend and me. All I could think about was, “Please don’t give us a table near that kid! Please don’t give us a table near that kid!”

Thankfully, we were seated many tables away from the tweeting turd child. Even though I’d gone through a rather painful ordeal in the waiting area, at least I was going to be able to enjoy my meal.

03.11 (3)

03.11 (4)

Do you know how loud that kid had to have been for me to hear him? I was at a restaurant that was packed full of patrons, had music coming out of giant speakers, and four televisions that were showing basketball games on high volume. And despite all that noise diarrhea, I could still hear “Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!” It was awful.

03.11 (5)

We ended up shoveling our food into our mouths and leaving the restaurant as soon as we could because neither of us could take the auditory abuse much longer. And as we left, I turned to look at the kid’s table and noticed that all the diners sitting nearby looked absolutely miserable. Some of wait staff looked just as unhappy. The only people who didn’t seem to care were the kid’s parents.

I really don’t understand why the family didn’t do anything to shut him up…just like how I don’t understand why some parents let their kids run around restaurants, or kick the backs of airplane seats even though people are sitting in them. Do the parents think their kids are acting cute? Are they not doing anything because they’re burnt out? Well, too freakin’ bad for them because there isn’t an excuse in the world that would justify forcing the public to put up with someone else’s sh*tty kids.

And so what if I don’t have children of my own? I honestly don’t think having kids would make me hate annoying children any less.

HA!!!

I was somewhere…I don’t remember where and this kid behind me had a flag.  He waved it over my seat and it was constantly hitting me in the head.  Turning around and glaring at him didn’t help so I started glaring at his mom which didn’t help either.  I think the kid knew what he was doing but was a little shit head and didn’t care.  Finally, the kid had to pee or something and they walked away from their seats but left that damn flag…which I grabbed from his seat and snapped in two pieces.  When they got back to their seats he cried that his flag was broken and even though the crying was annoying, I had some satisfaction.  🙂

One of my friends told me once that parents have the ability to tune their kids out when they’re horribly annoying & forget (or don’t care) that other people can’t.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 3:3 PM by Still_Bruhaha

boo no kitties….anyways completely agree with you.

my mom would have killed me if i acted like that.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 4:33 PM by mistermino

This is why I hate most children. Whenever I get a kicking kid on a plane, I don’t even let more than 10 minutes go by; I let him/her and the parent know as soon as it starts happening by getting up immediately and giving both of them the fuck-off face (then by proceeding to ask ‘nicely’ to stop) so I don’t feel grumpy the entire flight.

But when I have kids, I’m seriously not tolerating any of that crap. I can’t stand it. It’s like the parents succumb to their own children and it’s annoying.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 4:44 PM by pandora__x2

Traveling on a plane with a bratty child sitting next to you should be added to the penal code as an available punishment for criminals – although it would probably be ruled out as cruel and unusual.

The problem is too many people put themselves in the “PC” trap of not wanting to make a fuss or complain, so they suck it up and seethe on the inside.

When I was on the plane one time – “little junior” decided to sit sideways and rest his feet on me occasionally. I looked at “mom”, who pretended not to notice. Rather than just grin and bear it, I asked her to do something about it – I even threw in a please in there. 🙂 Her response was “I don’t think I can get him to stop!”, but quickly came up with the solution of switching seats so little junior was now on the other side.

If she had not solved the problem, I would have called an attendant and complained.

In your situation, what you should have done was complain to the restaurant about “kid tweeter”, with the emphasis that you may not be returning because you’re having an unpleasant dining experience. The restaurant will do the math quickly and solve the problem if enough people voiced their opinions.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 3:35 PM by SoullFire

Having your own kids allows you to sympathize only slightly.  I HATED all those situations you described and if my son ever acted that way in public, I’d “jerk a knot in his tail,” as my mom would say.  Of course, today it is a delicate process of how to “spank” and discipline in public because some crazy people might call the appropriate authorities, but so far my kid knows that if he doesn’t cut it out by the time I count to three, I’m good for my word and he gets spanked (so he usually stops at one or two).

I wish folks would teach their kids manners, too.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 6:17 PM by bamsniko22407

I doubt you could be firm nowadays without being accused of child abuse.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 8:3 PM by Inciteful
I think there’s a disconnect somewhere between when we were children and today’s parents. My brother was annoying but my parents would always set him in line with the whole, “if you do that again your life is going to be hell” look. They’d never let us get away with bad behavior. problem is, the little shits will grow up thinking it’s okay to piss others off with no consequences, and will beget another generation who does the same. If that happens, ima shank a couple of parents so they get the hint.
Posted 3/12/2012 at 6:36 PM by whotakethmycoke

I was on a flight from LA to Boston with an infant that cried the entire flight. The. Entire. Flight. I would have said something to the mother, but since the kid was a baby, there was nothing she could have done either. She did apologize to all of us, though…

Parents need to teach their kids tough love. As in discipline and telling the kids to shut it in appropriate times.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 9:10 PM by eciila

I totally sympathize with the frustration of being trapped on a plane with loud/obnoxious/misbehaving children. The thing is, I’m not always sure what exactly a parent can do at that very moment. Misbehavior is more of a problem built up over time and as pandora_x2 point out above, if the parent tries to spank the child, someone will call the authorities. Plus, you’d then have to deal with the crying and screaming of the spanked child!

Posted 3/12/2012 at 8:24 PM by christao408

My friend Cyndi has a daughter that’s in her terrible 2. She’s 2 years old, and she tends to throw a temper tantrum when we go out and eat. Common courtesy, we would take her baby outside the restaurant and try to calm her down. We will attempt this 3 times. If by the 3rd time she doesn’t calm down, we just bag our food to go. I mean, it’s common courtesy. Now, when I worked at my old restaurant, we had a “kids eats for free” policy. 3 adults, 10 kids. I shit you not. I kicked them out.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 9:19 PM by smile4leena

The problem is we’re not spanking our kids anymore. Kids, god bless’em, can’t be made to behave without the fear of death in them. Sometimes I’d like to spank my kid but rather than damage his mental health, I’ll let him damage any stranger’s.

Posted 3/12/2012 at 7:21 PM by dirtbubble

I’ve never let my boy do anything dumb like that.  I know how annoying kids can be.  He’s usually very good when we go out, but sometimes he has an off day.  When he’s being a little turd nugget, we just ask for our food to go and we leave.  No sense in bothering anyone else with his nonsense.

Sedate your baby! Stick something in their mouth–anything, your finger will even work! for goodness sakes make it stop!!!!!

I was stuck on a red eye 12 hr plane ride with this annoying lap baby. Mom was chubby, which is not a crime but when you’re already big and those airplane seats pack us like sardines, how on earth do you fit a squirming baby in your lap? The stupid kid kept kicking my chair while the lights were off and everyone was sleeping. I kept turning around to look at the woman and of course she was asleep and didn’t care at all. I straightened my seat all the way up and baby still kicked, every time I dozed off, kick!

People who can’t properly discipline their children or unwilling to do so, should not be allowed to have babies. Those undisciplined children are the same ones at high risk for becoming law breakers, stealers, cheaters of society. They are led to believe they can get away with anything b/c that’s how it was at home. So innocent people like us end up being punished for their craptastic parenting.

Posted 4/3/2012 at 10:14 PM by joooolie

I was on a flight with a set of parents and 2 young kids behind us. And part way through, one of the kids threw a tantrum and was crying, screaming, and kicking the chair in front of her. And her parents tried really hard to get the kid to stop. Including asking them nicely, then sternly, then even holding down the kid, and other various things. And the parents apologized to our row. But in that case, I mean, what can you do? The parents cared and really tried to stop it but the kid was in a funk.

Posted 3/13/2012 at 12:3 AM by youngvan

Some parents these days surely wouldn’t do anything about their kids even they are so freaking annoying. I did witness a kid crying his lungs out in a restaurant just about a month ago. I think there were two families dining together at the same table, and both families had one toddler each. While one kid was crying his lungs out in that tiny little restaurant, the other kid was just looking at him in awe. They both seemed to be the same age. My friend and I kept giving the looks to that table, but the parents of that crying kid wouldn’t even say a word to shut him up. It was really annoying. I really wish I’d never have kids like that when I have on my own. When we were that young, we had to behave even at “the look” by our parents. I don’t know if it’s just them or the time had totally changed which made the kids simply more annoying.

Posted 3/13/2012 at 10:16 PM by simplysuzu

Seriously. What the fuck man! My sis in law cannot control her kid either but she doesnt know how to. She calls him retarded and stupid and annoying and he can’t talk yet so he has no idea what shes saying to him so he throws a hissy fit and then she gets even more annoyed and then he gets more frustrated and it’s just a fucking nightmare. She’s taking him a d her kid #2 on a trip to georgia by herself. Ummmm good luck. So glad im not going.

This makes me terrified to take my kids (age 1 & 2) on planes. My oldest lasted through a 6 hour flight, sound asleep, when he was 6 months old, but the flight back…he got about halfway through before he started crying. I felt like the WORST PERSON EVER.

As they’ve gotten bigger, I now am the bitch mom who will just leave wherever we are (dinner, ice cream, playground, whatever) once a tantrum starts. Yeah, it’s courtesy to the rest of the world who doesn’t want to hear my children’s pathetic whining, but more importantly it teaches the kids themselves that being a brat doesn’t get what you want.

Posted 3/13/2012 at 6:5 AM by milfncookies

feel kind of weird replying so much but omg, things seem just so obvious to most of us.. obviously..

@Still_Bruhaha – it’s true, once you have a kid, you can’t hear him/her! lol weird right…

I know there are bad kids but it’s parents’ jobs to teach kids not to act like little shits like that flag kid. Glaring at the parent didn’t help?  Bet that’s a badly behaved parent.

@pinksoda117 – someone once told me, why.. we need a license to get married, but we don’t to have kids?  kids are much more responsibility and there is no divorcing them!

@MJeeeeeeeezy – wow – jeez, tell her to read a book……. p.s. even though they may not know the real meaning of the words they are being called, such a tone of voice is easily decipherable to a child, plus, they may know the meaning anyway – kids pick up on things like that…  “She calls him retarded and stupid and annoying” — wow, you created him, and if that’s how you treat him, then you’re the one who’s retarded stupid and annoying…..
@smile4leena – talk about taking advantage…..

Wow. Kids annoy me and personally I don’t think they should be allowed in most places. Leave the kids to fast food and Walmart. I’ve never been on a plane ride. Well once but I was a kid but I was told I sat quiet for the 3 hour flight. Anyway, parents just need to spank their children. I know that they say it’s wrong and all. But if they would bring he kid to the bathroom. Walk back out I’m sure there would be a wave of applause for the parent. And I think if I do ever go on a plane I’m taking some cards or something with me. I always figure if you can’t get the parent to stop the child you make the child stop by distracting them
Posted 3/13/2012 at 9:37 AM by want_100

If the child I am about to have does obnoxious crap, he is getting his bottom swatted. Being polite is important. My husband and I think that early and appropriate discipline is exactly what children need. Parents don’t start trying to reign in their children till they are 2, 5 or 7. Then they wonder why they are having such trouble. Now I haven’t had my child yet, so I don’t have personal experience. But it makes sense to me that telling your child no to things they shouldn’t do should happen as soon as they are able to understand the word no.

Exactly!! Just because one is Asian doesn’t mean we immediately drop to the ground for Jeremy Lin.  It should be about his skills not his ethnicity! and I was called a ‘hater’ for that. /smh

Tuesday February 7, 2012
Remember those children’s songs you used to sing when you were a kid? I remember being in elementary school and having a jolly old time singing those cute little songs with my classmates. The alphabet song, “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,”–they’re timeless classics we all learned as kids, and can still sing even though we’re well past adulthood.

But if you ever stop and think about the lyrics to these songs, you start to realize that some of them aren’t as kid friendly as you’d think. Sure, they sound innocent, but don’t let their simple-yet-whimsical tunes fool you. These songs are totally anti-children.

For instance, let’s look at the words to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Sure, it seems like a song about some star in the sky…but in reality, the message it’s trying to get across is that children are retarded.

2.7 (1)

2.7 (2)

You see what I mean?!

And then there’s the crappy parent anthem, “Rock-A-Bye Baby”:

2.7 (3)

2.7 (4)

2.7 (6)

2.7 (5)

I used to sing this song thinking it was just about a baby in a tree–which it was. What I didn’t know, however, was that the tree baby was in a cradle that was hanging precariously off a rickety-ass bough–which later snaps in the wind, and causes the baby to fall to the ground. This song is a hot freaking mess! I mean, why would you lull a child to sleep with a lullaby about an unwanted baby that ends up doing a face plant into dirt and roots?

And finally, there’s that children’s song about bells–aptly entitled “The Bells”:

2.7 (7)

2.7 (8)

2.7 (9)

2.7 (10)

Umm…I might have made up the part about the bell being a crackhead with a gambling problem…but you get the idea.

Posted 2/7/2012 at 5:28 PM by CEC32

I have a running argument with some kids about whether the spider is “Itsy Bitsy” or “Eensy Weensy.” I say eensy and I should know – it’s my favorite. I like it when sun comes out and dries up the rain. I mean, I like rain, too, but not when I get washed out. Like you I’ve always wondered about “Rockabye Baby’s” horrific libretto. Better to keep the baby’s cradle where the wind won’t blow it down, I’d say. Plain common sense.

These are some of the best graphics of yours I’ve seen.

Posted 2/7/2012 at 6:4 PM by randaness

Factoid: Many of the old lullaby’s were rhymes based on historical figures or references (ex: Humpty Dumpty & Rock a Bye Baby), that through some twisted way, got put into use as a children’s song. It explains why the verses of some are either mysterious or dark.

Applying that structure/method to “The Bells” would make it relate to the old bell, AT&T talking to the new phone hot shot, Apple…..so you just called Apple a crackhead/gambler…..gasp!!!

Posted 2/7/2012 at 9:44 PM by SoullFire

Sad, but true.  Old school songs & fairy tales were pretty messed up.  Come to think of it, most classic cartoons, or comedy sketches like the 3 Stooges, wouldn’t survive the scrutiny of modern standards either. :\

I’m not really into the watch-strangers-live-together genre of reality television because I think the format has gotten stale and raggedy over the years. Oooh…let’s get a bunch of people from all walks of stereotypes into a fancy house and see how they deal with each other. That sh*t hasn’t been fresh since the first “Real World” premiered in 1992.

Oxygen’s “Bad Girls Club” is pretty much the same way, and I find it about as exciting as eating an old-ass diaper. And yet, if I happen catch an episode while flipping channels, I have to watch it because I am obsessed with trying to figure out what the point of the show is. Have you ever watched an episode before? It’s just a bunch of really loud girls with drinking problems and bad tempers living together as roommates. Every single season can be boiled down to a simple formula:

A group of girls who already know they hate each other even before they’ve introduced themselves.

12.31 (1)

There will always be at least two girls who are from the same state, but who hate each other because they have way too much county pride.

12.31 (2)

No matter how much animosity exists, the girls will manage to put their differences aside for the sake of getting really wasted before, during, and after a trip to a local club.

12.31 (3)

But the alcohol inhibits their common sense and what little human decency they have, causing the girls to start beating each other up over strange things like being called a b*tch even though they call themselves b*tches all the time…

12.31 (4)

12.31 (5)

There are lots of fights over phone usage too. You get a lot of action scenes spliced together with talking-head segments whenever that sh*t goes down…

Action Scene:

12.31 (6)

Talking-Head Segment:

12.31 (7)

More Action Scenes:

12.31 (8)

12.31 (9)

Another Talking-Head Segment:

12.31 (10)

And that’s pretty much it. That is the formula for a successful multi-season reality show: a group of girls who repeat words like “classy” and “b*tch” every time they open their mouths, and then beat and cuss the crap out of each other. I don’t understand where the entertainment value comes in!

Happy New Year!

Friday January 27, 2012

So I had the opportunity to listen in on an awesome conversation while waiting to check out of Trader Joe’s. If you’re not familiar with Trader Joe’s, it’s a hippy-run version of Whole Foods. I only go there to buy cheap-yet-super-delicious wine and gummy candies, but I try to avoid making those trips whenever I can because the cashiers are slow. And I mean painfully slow. I was once stuck waiting 20 minutes for a cashier to ring up a woman who only bought 4 items. That process shouldn’t have taken more than 5, but the cashier insisted on making small talk about every item in the woman’s basket. Like, he would pick up a box of hippy granola and say, “This looks yummy!” and the woman would be all, “OMG! I know,” and then the two of them would end up having a discussion about granola. It was like a freaking life sentence.

This recent trip to Trader Joe’s was brought on by my addiction to their mango-yogurt gummy candies. I was totally expecting the usual long and arduous check-out process, and called my friends and family to tell them I loved them and might not see them again for a few years. And then I waited in line behind a woman with a half-empty shopping cart and a man who was only buying 3 things. Not that quantity mattered or anything. It wasn’t like we were going to be checked out any faster than the old man next to us who had a million things in his cart.

As I was standing in line, the woman in front turned around and started talking to the man behind her. I don’t think they knew each other because the guy didn’t seem particularly interested, and wasn’t responding to anything she said. You keep your mouth shut when someone’s trying to chat with you to prevent that person from prolonging a conversation you really don’t want to have. I mean, if you’re not giving any response, the speaker is going to feel like she’s talking a wall and will eventually leave you alone. That, or she will think you’re deaf or foreign. It doesn’t really matter as long as she shuts up.

Anyway, I was about to write off this woman’s small talk as mindless drivel until she said this:

1.27 (1)

And then this:

1.27 (2)

I’m guessing the planets and stars and tea leaves were lined up a certain way because my wish to hear details about this woman’s E-harmony profile was immediately granted.

1.27 (3)

OMG! She wrote “I love to laugh” for what I assume was a description of her interests! “I love to laugh”! And let me guess: she listed breathing as one of her hobbies.

This is what I found so damn funny about it: Everyone enjoys a good laugh. Everyone. People laugh (and I mean genuinely) when they’re happy–and who hates being happy? No one. And no one on E-harmony or whatever is going to look at this woman’s profile and think, “Whew! I am so glad she wrote that she loves laughing because I can’t stand that sh*t. Dodged a bullet there!”

The woman then said:

1.27 (4)

Taking walks on the beach? Staring at sunsets? She should have just said “I like dating-profile clichés,” because that alone would have been enough to summarize this woman’s entire romance portfolio.

But to be honest, my amusement might have been based on personal bias: I hate the beach, and viewing sunsets sounds boring as hell. In fact, I would actually have a hard time deciding which is worse: Sitting through a Dane Cook comedy show that has Criss Angel doing magic at the same time, or walking on the beach and watching the sun go down. Both seem extremely unpleasant and douchie.

As if my life sentence of waiting to check out of Trader Joe’s couldn’t get any better, the woman then drops the most ridiculous line ever:

1.27 (5)

At that point, I didn’t even bother hiding my pee-my-pants giggles anymore because there is no way she could have expected anyone within earshot to keep a straight face after hearing all of that. Even the guy who totally didn’t give a sh*t couldn’t keep his face together.

Trader Joe’s rules.

hm…walking on the beach is different depending on what kind of beach. If it’s a beach covered with rocks that bite into your foot with every step–no that is not fun. Walking along the shoreline barefoot on a fine sand beach when the waves are calm, nice breeze, and the sun is setting–that is probably better than an hour long swedish massage at relieving stress/tension and all that pent up anger we get from working too much. yep i like beach walks.

lol so it’s true! match.com > eharmony

Dear god, is THIS why when I put up online profile posts I get the responses I do? Because girls like THIS out are there?!

Posted 2/1/2012 at 4:17 AM by JessicaSpeak
It’s women like her that make online dating the sex buffet that it is. I know a few guys who started using Match and eharmony and they tell me that it’s basically a sex free for all. They said that in the first few months of using the service, they have slept with more women than they have in their whole lives. Granted, the women arent what you’d consider “top shelf”, rather more like Costco brand Kirkland, but never the less, it’s like a sex all you can eat (excuse the nasty pun).

Btw, ur self illustration is a bit darker than usual, did you get a tan or something? Lol.

I have a list of sh*t I think people need to keep to themselves. I don’t mean stuff like the story of how you got explosive diarrhea after eating semi-raw chicken. People need to know those things! How else will they know how important it is the thoroughly cook chicken?!

Actually, the sh*t I’m talking about is real sh*t that you should never spread around to anyone unless you want an acid enema. It’s stuff you know the speaker is telling you because he means well, but it ends up coming off as stuffy and, well, sh*tty.

1. Living a Healthy Lifestyle

1.15 (1)

1.15 (2)

1.15 (3)

1.15 (4)

1.15 (5)

This is on my list of sh*t you should keep to yourself for purely selfish reasons. I’ll be the first to admit that my dietary habits are pretty crappy. A good 80% of what I eat consists of things that are full of sugar and high in calories. I love foods that are fried and smothered in cheese. My kitchen always has more chips and candy than fruits and vegetables. I wash everything down with diet soda–but at least it’s diet, right?

I know the toll these foods have on my health, and have begrudgingly embraced moderation, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise over the years. Junk food, however, is still very much a part of my daily intake. It’s just that now I’m doing whatever I need to do to stay healthy despite my indulgences–but that is the most I’m willing to do. If you decide to go above and beyond that, great. Go for it. I have nothing but respect for people who can make that kind of commitment even though it’s not for me.

But some of those who’ve had the healthy-living epiphany seem to think that if they’ve made the decision, everyone else should too. Don’t eat that popcorn chicken pizza, all covered with ranch dressing and gravy! That’s really bad for you! You should eat carrot and celery sticks lightly sprayed with Pam instead! And then they get all expert on your ass because they think reading a bunch of nutrition labels makes them dietary gurus.

Decided to start healthy living? Congratulations! Now keep that sh*t to yourself.

2. Superstitions

1.15 (6)

1.15 (7)

1.15 (8)

1.15 (9)

If you’re superstitious about something–fine. You can go ahead and avoid certain numbers, breaking mirrors, walking under ladders, and all that other stuff to your heart’s content. Who am I to stop you from doing whatever you need to do to convince yourself that you are in control of your life, you know? I don’t really care one way or another as long you keep whatever it is you do to ward off bad luck and negativity to yourself. So if you think farting against the wind will bring a curse on your household, then go ahead and fart with the wind. That kind of stuff only becomes an issue when you give me sh*t for farting against the wind because now I have to conform my farting to your superstitions. And why the hell should I do that? I don’t derive any benefit from wind-directional farting. That’s your thing! All I get out of it is an uncomfortable tightness from holding in all that ass gas.

And what about the billions of superstitions out there that you’ve never even heard of, and are therefore not following? You don’t seem to be crippled with bad luck even though you’re probably breaking a hundred superstitions every second.

Unless you can point out the times in your life when failing to follow through on a superstition caused you to experience some kind of hardship or turmoil, your superstitions will remain on the list of sh*t you should keep to yourself. And no, telling me something like, “Uh, I ate chicken on March 15th and then two weeks later I broke my wrist playing flag football” is not going to cut it.

3. Cancer Anxiety

Finally, the sh*t that started it all:

1.15 (10)

1.15 (11)

1.15 (12)

1.15 (13)

I’ve pretty much accepted that everything in the world can cause cancer. Even the things that are supposed to help decrease the risk of cancer can cause cancer. I recently read a report that found drinking alcohol could increase a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer–but then I got all confused because there was another article which said red wine could help decrease the risk of breast cancer. Uhh…okay.

One thing I like to keep in mind with these studies is that they usually end the same way: the results show a possible link between X and cancer. Possible, not definitive. But some people read these studies and think, “OMG! Cell phones totally cause brain cancer!” when there is nothing in the text to suggest anything more than “we will probably need to do additional research.” And then they go nuts buying all the hands-free sets they can find, while at the same time telling everyone who isn’t using one that a tumor is growing in their heads.

You know…until researchers get as close to finding a connection like they did with cigarettes and lung cancer, I’m going to keep putting my cell phone to my ear, drinking diet soda, and eating my blackened chicken Caesar salad. Freaking out over whatever risk probably causes cancer anyway, so keep that sh*t to yourself!

its not what you eat, but how much 🙂 I agree, I think its fine to indulge in good food as long as you don’t overeat it lols

i can’t stand people like that too. i’m not a burger person but i like to eat meat and i like it hearty and i did have a friend who used to criticize everything anyone does and it irritated me to so much that i stopped hanging out with her.  there’s already enough negative things going on the world, i don’t need to hear more negative things.

Posted 1/15/2012 at 10:58 PM by superGchik

It’s a common misconception, but “Blackened Salmon” is not actual char from being burnt.  :”Blackening seasoning” has certain spices (i.e. paprika and cayanne) that turn black when exposed to high temps.  It’s actually quite healthy.

Aside from that, I fucking hate people who try to impose their dietary restrictions on you just because they, all of a sudden, took on this “resolution” to try and eat healthier.  It especially pisses me off when they are 250 pounds and telling you that eating anything other than a salad, like they are, is somehow going to lead to a massive coronary right on the spot.

oh my god I’M WITH YOU ON THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Firstly, I know how awful my diet can be/is and if I want to eat fucking terrible, unless you’re my mother, FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t really get superstitious people much, and if they tried to be all that with me, I’d say, “I OWN A BLACK CAT WANNA COME OVER SO SHE CAN CROSS YOUR PATH BY PURRING YOU TO DEATH????”.  I really do.

And yeah we’ve heard cancer causes everything but PLEASE F OFF IF I WANNA DO/EAT SOMETHING.  Besides excessive tanning.

GREAT POST~!!!!!!!11!!!

This is the reason why I hate being part of any conversation involving weight. It’s petty, not fun, and runs into the danger of turning offensive.

Your entry reminded me of something.
I hate it when I offer to share some food with someone else and they go something along the lines of “no thanks…I’m on a diet.”    Maybe I’m sensitive, but to me there’s always this little cold vibe to it.
The bf bought some french pastries for me and my roommates during finals week and when I offered it up to one of them, that was her response. Really, one pastry is not going to cause a big blow on your weight if you work out every day.
Sure I get people want to be healthy…but I think such people need to live a little.
I’d love to see that roommate go on a date ’cause….part of what makes dating fun is eating delicious food (:

We are entitled to our opinions, but we don’t always have the right to voice them. I agree that some shit needs to be kept to ourselves.
I’m both a health nut and superstitious, but I don’t impose my beliefs on others.

That part of dealing with someone else’s superstitions really struck a chord. Someone somewhere convinced her that putting one’s money/wallet/checkbook/purse on a bed will bring bad money luck, something I’d never heard of – I was brought up in a non-superstitious and perfectly rational Evangelical Christian household. It would explain a lot, though, considering how many times I tossed my wallet on the bed and how sickeningly broke I am. What really pisses me off is now if I somehow accidentally put my money on the bed I reflexively snatch it up with a D’oh! wondering how much more poverty I will now have to endure. And I don’t even believe that shit!

Wednesday December 14, 2011

I was at the mall when I got a call from work. I had to take notes during the conversation, so I grabbed a napkin and sat down at one of the tables near the food court.

12.14 (1)

You probably don’t need me to tell you this, but napkins aren’t meant to be written on. And napkin + sharp-tipped pen + slatted table = being unable to read what you’d written down because the damn napkin is full of holes.

Anyway, while I was busy trying to write stuff down, I noticed this high school kid standing right in front of me.

12.14 (2)

Uhh…okay. Did this kid need directions to PacSun to get more skateboarding clothes? Because you know he shops there. They all do…and by the way, spending a ton of money on clothes that look kind of sh*tty doesn’t make much sense to me. I mean, this is the entire look:

12.14 (7)

Skateboarders don’t care about fashion! This is a laid-back outfit for laid-back skater people!

And then they go to PacSun or Tilly’s or whatever and spend hundreds of dollars on grungy T-shirts, caps, black shoes, and corduroy pants or khakis. But they’re still keeping it real because what’s more laid-back than buying all your clothes from one store?

I looked at this kid thinking he was going to ask me for directions or the time, but he instead said:

12.14 (3)

I didn’t even try to keep “who the f*ck are you?!” from showing up all over my face. That’s exactly what I would have said if I wasn’t on the phone–but I was. I was on the phone–as in, this douchie kid was asking to use my phone while I was still using it. That alone should have been enough to tell him he was better off asking some other complete stranger. I mean, what response what he expecting?

12.14 (8)

12.14 (9)

12.14 (10)

So not happening.

Rather than give him any sort of response, I went back to taking napkin notes and acting as if he wasn’t there. And while I might have looked like I didn’t care, that wasn’t the case at all because I was actually trying to strike his ass down with the “go f*ck yourself” energy bolts I was angrily emitting.

12.14 (4)

And you know what? He just stood there! Like, he was waiting for me to get off the phone and hand it to him!

12.14 (5)

The kid eventually left after standing there like a dumbass for a few minutes…but not without letting me know of his disappointment.

12.14 (6)

He’s going to get struck by a “go f*ck yourself” energy bolt eventually. I just know it.

You’re calmer than me. I would have said “Hold on a second”, muted my phone, and screamed every swear word I know at him before exclaiming “WHAT DO YOU THINK I’LL JUST LET YOU STEAL MY PHONE MTHAFCKER??” The glares from surrounding people should be enough for his snobby ass to walk away in shame.
