Things that make me want to puke on kittens

Posted by: Justin In: Puking on kittens

Was watching TV last night when I saw a commercial for one of those big ol’ family rides that comes standard with two separate TVs and DVD players in the back. After I shot my own TV, I came up with this list of other things that make me want to die. If you ever find any of these items in my possession, please feel free to stab me in the neck with a toothbrush shiv.

1. A car with a TV/DVD player.
Like I’m not distracted enough behind the wheel, trying to talk on my cell phone while drinking my beer and lighting the crack pipe. Nobody needs this. If you really can’t stand your kids so much that you have to keep them glued to the TV for the 20 minutes it takes to drive them to the babysitter’s house before you head over to the gym for your daily attempt to seduce your personal trainer, just sell them on the black market and be done with it.

2. Moulin Rouge!
Worst movie ever made, almost as horrible as its uber-fans. Not even the good kind of bad, either. Like Shaolin Dolemite (which I do, proudly, own). More like 5-star-spicy-Thai-next-day-fire-poo-in-your-eyes bad.

3. A sweater vest
Or, frankly, any other kind of vest. Only two types of men should own vests: gay cowboys and Han Solo. Last I checked, I wasn’t either.

4. An NRA or GOP membership card
Don’t think I need to explain this one.

5. Subscription to Maxim
Nothing says “Hi, I plan to get you drunk at a frat party then rape you in a closet after you pass out” like Maxim. In fact, I’m pretty sure that was the cover of their August issue.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of other things that didn’t quite make the list yet still make me want to eat my own liver. Toupees, for instance. Or mustard.

Why are we all not hanging out more?

Is it because you have kids? Are they crate trained? Because if so, you can usually leave them in there for at least five hours before they need to pee.

That’s definitely a big part. Good news is that the two of them are about at the age where we’d feel comfortable with one watching the other (13 and almost 4). Once that happens, Silja and I will be able to got out, get drunk, and probably end up with another one.

Does the sweater vest have to be button up? I recently was gifted a sweater vest, but it is basically a sweater without sleeves. I was pensive, but now love it, get lots of compliments…. jealous?

I’m sorry, but I don’t see how we could ever be BFFs now.

I did come up with one possible exception to the vest rule: when it’s part of a three-piece suit. Then it’s just cold stylin’, yo.

I dunno, I think I am going to have to stand my ground and say, “but you haven’t seen MY vest, and more importantly ME in MY vest.” You just might question yourself in a lot of respects.

My parents had a big van with a TV and VCR when I was a kid, but we never bothered with it except on vacation. Considering we always drove and would drive from Georgia to Maine or Missouri as normal trips, that TV was nice. Having it on every time your kid is in the car is lame.
