Friday Roundup!
Here are some quick, albeit late, thoughts to get you into the weekend:
- Rio got the Olympics. I tend to think there’s a reason South America hasn’t gotten them yet. By the way, that reason is kidnapping, murder and general lawlessness.
- We fully support all Krump and New Orleans Bounce style dancers.
- Watched a man get arrested for arguing with the bus driver and refusing to get off the bus. I think when it comes to getting arrested, you need to try to save it for things that are either really awesome or really important. This was neither.
- If you’re at a concert with a friend, don’t talk to your friend through an entire thing. Trust me, they didn’t come here to hear you yelling about how your husband is a dick or whatever. Also, it distracts me, because I will always end up focusing on you and your talking rather than the concert. Just shut up and let the entertainers entertain you. Dammit! I’m getting mad about this all over again.
- Second of three concert bits: I never know what to do with my arms during a concert. I usually just cross them over my chest, but that looks like I’m pissed. Leaving them hanging just seems dumb, and I’m too tall to put them up and wave them around. I was gonna do the thing where you do the drum beat on your chest and act really into it but the guy next to me was doing it (it’s where I got the idea) and I didn’t want him to think I was copying him (I was absolutely going to be copying him). I know this sounds petty, but at every concert I go to, one-third of the time I’m worrying about what to do with my arms.
- Also, give the tall guy standing in front of you a fucking break. Not his fault. Is he supposed to go to the back just because you’re tiny? If you don’t like it, go emote somewhere else.
- I think the best part of car rides is when they enter the third or fourth hour and neither person has anything left to say. Silence, road, Wild Cherry Pepsi and an awesome driving/Americana themed mix CD. Perfect (For some reason whenever I think the word “perfect” I say/think it like this, skip to about 26 seconds in).
- Possibly the worst experience is witnessing your hotel room before its cleaned. I like to pretend that the room was freshly unwrapped from plastic before I use it. Take note Red Roof Inn.
- College Football’s best uniforms: Penn State. College Football’s Best Gimmick: Penn State’s white out. College Football’s best horrifically old coach: Penn State’s Joe Paterno. Only good thing about the Big 10: Penn State.
- Key we’ve discovered for enjoying the NFL: Don’t watch ESPN. Ever.
- Facebook needs a “thumbs down” option. You should be able to not like a status, like when someone posts this as their status: JOHN DOE Knows he’s annoying but trust I know sooo many people that would love to have me as someone who annoys them..so realize that and stop being a bitch
I respectfully disagree about your “Only good thing about the Big 10: Penn State” comment. I whole heartedly agree with the uniforms…classy. And I am also a huge fan of the white out and Joe Pa. But I believe that the best thing about the Big 10 is smashmouth, old school football…and the Iowa Hawkeyes…
