okay, New Hampshire, yes, fine. The deep south of the Northeast had it coming. Also, dinner rolls are highly overrated and eat up all your APs and flex points (flexies for the precious). But Michelle Obama? She is perfectly perfect in every way and you know it.
Thank you for an awesome blog.
I really hate the term “blissed out”. What do you have on that?
Damn Hummingbirds.
Glitter, maddening when glitter appears on your face months after that Halloween costume party or greeting card with sparkly rainbows arrives in the mail.
Like “dolphins” or “The Dolphins”?
:P
We have this automated mail cart at work. Someone named him Mikey. He’s at the TOP of my list.
Baby shoes? I’m gonna have to vote for that one because I can’t see any downsides of them except the exorbitant prices that make stock traders appear calm and rational.
Are we allowed to combine topics?
May we suggest a format?
I’d like Hummingbirds/Hand Soap/Lilypads in a photo essay.
Oh, and of course, the Honesty we have all come to expect.
Ooh… so many good ones. Starting at the top of your list, I’d have to say I’m wondering about your controversial take on cancer awareness pins. I personally feel it’s just another way for your (my) co-irkers to shun you (me) for not showing the proper amount of support.
Going on that whole cancer-awareness pins- I think you should focus on pinkwashing (http://www.wordspy.com/words/pinkwashing.asp)
I’m completely 100% behind supporting all types of cancer research, but statistically, breast cancer kills way less people than OTHER types of cancer, like colon and lung cancer…
Just sayin’…
I vote for honesty because I think it is no longer in the vocabulary of most men. Can u tell I’m a bitter 32 year old single woman?
‘Hampsha for Damn sha!
But it’s where I’m from, so please don’t knock it too harshly. I live in Utah now, and there are o-so-many-more things wrong with this state than those Live Free Or Die yahoos. Any state looks pretty sane comparatively.
For instance, no mimosas before noon. How is one to have a proper brunch?
That said, I’m dying to hear your take on Arbor Day. Damn Trees.
Oh yeah, and “biting”, you mentioned there’d be biting…
The Mennonites? The fake Amish? Please.
I have a few more:
“I just spat diet Coke on my keyboard/threw up a little in my mouth etc” (this week’s peeve. Cause you so didn’t.)
Jon Gosselin. And also Kate.
People who complain about Twitter spoilers of television shows.
Unsatisfying entree salads.
And that’s about it for now.
Winter. It’s coming.
I’m sure something or someone will piss you off enough to deserve their own rant in no time.
Pandas have had it coming for a long time.
Oh, I totally want to hear you rant about pandas !!
cancer awareness pins!!!!!!
I like the post
Good post
Amtrak, Baltimore and scrunchies are too easy, right? I mean, it isn’t like anyone actually likes them. So how about the ads for dating websites. Discuss.
