VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

jsgilbert

Okay, tis the season, blah, blah, blah

I've already received 267 emails today about being thankful. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot to be thankful for, if not the least of which is that I live in a country where I have the freedom to protest the things I'm not thankful for.

So, in the great tradition that sent our forefathers in search of greener pastures, what's peeling your paint?

Bad economy? Recent Elections? The fact that spandex pants come in XXXL?

It won't dimninish your attitude of gratitude, so let's hear it.

I'll get the ball rolling. Here are a few things I am not grateful for:

Tied down before I had a chance to date an underwear model.

Hot dogs and hot dog buns never matching in number.

Not listening to my neighbor who was working at a startup company suggest I buy shares of stock in it. The company was Amazon and he's 20 years younger than me and retired to Costa Rica.

They took Halcyon off the market.

Not keeping the original Swatch watch I was given as a gift.

Oh and wars, haters and people who go nuts and go on shooting sprees.

Happy Holidays,

j.s.

I'm not a real fan ot the XXXXL spandex pants either.

That I am in the helicopter refueling path - that can get annoying.

That I didn't get a chance to date J.S. before he got tied down.

You want slugs Todd! Have I got slugs.

They love the cat food and when they don't find what they want outside, they slither through the back door or around it somehow and end up in the laundry room at the inside cat food bowls. It is really icky to step on a slug in your socks.

Goats that get their head stuck in the fence.

Jostled junk and X-ray porn.

Distracted drivers that run red light.

Texting (just call me-- please)

$10 cocktails that contain of more mixer than booze.

XXXL spandex pants that are still to small, and look like a pair of pantyhose filled with cottage cheese.

The process of degunking the computer hard drive.

Finding a hair in the fruitcake.

Drivers doing 35mph in the left lane - who would give you the finger as you pass them were they not too busy talking on their cell phone while smoking a cigarette and turning around to yell at the kids.

Drivers who look motorcyclists straight in the eye - just as they make a left right in front of you.

People who douse themselves in perfume/cologne right before boarding the flight where they're sitting next to you for the next 6 hours.

Landscapers who blow the neighbors leaves into your lawn - the day after your landscaper cleared yours away.

Apparently this thing about slugs popping up in the cat or dog food bowl is quite common. Who'd a thunk it?

here's some lovely video

oh, and you guys would love Spandex City - a fictionally named - though quite real city/town in this part of the country. XXXL spandex leggings come packaged with XS shirts up to the pupik.
