I hope we don't get too lost in the excitement of the election to recognize the real losers who have manifested themselves throughout this race. So much is made of the winners and losers of elections, but little is ever said about the people who are the real losers in an election. These people manifest their stupidity in a misguided effort to evoke support, while simultaneously attempting to gain friends, respect, or credibility. They fail miserably...
No the biggest losers aren't Obama or McCain (sorry, I couldn't find a picture of a McCain bumper sticker), the biggest losers are people who put election bumper stickers on the painted portion of their car. Are you kidding me? Throw that bad boy in the window then when the election is over, razor blade that old news off of your car. How can I take your opinion seriously when you devalue your brand new Volvo (yes, I saw a brand new Volvo with an election sticker right on the paint). Your obvious lack of foresight turns my stomach; if I didn't have such great foresight, I'd run my car into yours. Then when you got mad and said you were going to sue me, I'd just say, "Oh, I thought you were into ruining the value of your car."
p.s. - I think it's proper to point out the Boston Red Sox sticker also on the painted portion... One more reason to hate the Red Sox and Red Sox fans.
Only at BYU...
I honestly thought it was just a Mormon joke, but I was minding my own business, not even wanting to overhear 18 year-olds at BYU speaking immature "Mormon" talk, it happened. Just a warning, I will not comment on what I write, I cannot, it is too painful.
This is what I heard from two girls on my way from class...
"I'm not mad or jealous. I'm just frustrated, because I feel like she's a climber and I'm not... maybe I should be. No, that is wrong I need to repent. I hope she's happy being Relief Society President."
There are people you either over hear, or meet in passing, and you think to yourself... I never want to talk to that dude. This will be the first of a group of posts of my encounters with such people.
BYU, Fall 2008-
As I was walking to class, minding my own business, not even wanting to overhear 18 year-olds at BYU speaking immature "Mormon" talk, it happened. All of the sudden from behind me I heard something that has frustrated me for two weeks now. Two freshman (boy and girl), were walking and I didn't hear what the girl said, but the boy said this:
Read this without pauses, this was said with one breath...
"I know her, I love her, she's so funny, she's amazing."
This is one of those times where I was so frustrated, I stopped and just looked at them. I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it every time I walk into that class. This is the pain I have to deal with on a daily basis.
How do the phrases "she's so funny," and "she's amazing," even fit together?
