Random Thoughts Roundup
I wish that ESPN, FoxSports, Spike, and every other channel would stop showing people playing poker. It seems like every week there's a new World Championship of Poker. First of all, poker, like cheerleading, is not a sport. You just sit your aft end in a chair and throw cards around. ESPN might as well start showing double-headers of poker games and chess matches. It's like a video game: It's fun when you play it, but painfully boring when you watch someone else play it. Also, before people get bent out of shape and call me a fascist, let me explain why I think that cheerleading is not a sport. It takes a lot of effort and great physical strength, but there's no objective to it. You don't score goals or run plays and strategies. Some might say that it's a sport because you compete against others in competition and are awarded points by judges, but using that logic, you'd have to say that the Miss America Pageant is also a sport.
I read the comics almost every day. If you think that's weird, then you should know that studies have proven that people who read the comics are more intelligent, better looking, and smell better than most people. So I'm just wondering, when are they going to stop running Peanuts in newspapers? Charles Schultz died several years ago. He wanted the strip to die with him, which is probably why he didn't train a successor. I think it's time to let him go. Plus, when will be the right time to stop printing reruns of his comic strips? Maybe the newspaper editors think that if they stop printing it, the ghost of Shultz will come back and haunt them.
1. How tall are you barefoot?
5'11"
2. Have you ever smoked ?
Cigars, but I will never smoke a cigarette.
3. Do you own a gun?
Yes
4. Rehab?
For a broken bone, but that's probably not what you're asking
5. Would you ever "do" someone in their parent's bed?
No, and I'd worry about someone who'd get turned on by doing that.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
Delightful
7. What's your favorite Christmas song?
Christmas songs are annoying
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Water. Everything else just takes disgusting in the morning.
9. Do you do push-ups?
What kind of a stupid question is this?
10. Say something about your day?
Hopefully about to go play tennis
11. Are you vegan?
No, and vegans are not morally superior to me.
12. Do you like painkillers?
Yes, and what's great is that doctors always prescribe too much.
13. What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex?
I'm glad you asked. Well, first I throw the line out there and I wiggle it a little, usually they go after it. Then they struggle for a while, but then they just lay back and accept it.
14. Do you own a knife?
Maybe some dinky pocket knife that I never use
15. Do you have A.D.D.?
No, and I bet that most people who say they do really don't.
16. Do you love the pain a tattoo brings?
Yes, my privileged, suburban life and private-school education has brought such intolerable pain and angst that I mutilate myself with tattoos just to take my mind off of the indescribable emotional pain that affects someone who has experienced the kind of hardship that I have. My mom was like "Take out the trash" and I was all like "No! I hate you!" Then I ran to my room, slammed the door, turned off the lights, and wrote poetry by candlelight. She doesn't know what it's like to 15 years old. She's just a conformist like all the others.
