two different people have told me this week that i am becoming an old man. since one of these illustrious individuals was my wife, i think there might be some truth to it.
so in honor of my prescient friends, and to blow of a little steam, i would like to share this little list. and to answer your question kid positive, i did shake my fist multiple times while typing this tirade. damn kids!
the world was a better place before:
- blogger mucked up my font size. their "updates" also converted my old school, unimaginative font type. i don't like it!
- major league baseball in florida
- the nhl invaded the confederate states
- cell phones. yes, all of them. no exceptions
- mochachinos, frappachinos and iced blueberry lattes
- reality television. mr. knight, i'm with rick on this one. reality t.v. is irredeemable trash
- simon cowell
- jerry bruckheimer
- nascar in new england
- plastic surgery
- the proliferation of suburban prostitution. girls, put away the skanky eighties skirts, the locust glasses and the baby tees and learn to cover your anorexic little asses
- cowboy troy
- mlb on fox
- wal-mart
- everything was made to break. i should be able to use my space heater or tape player for 24 hours a day for the 12 months it is under warranty. everything (with the possible exception of prophylactics) should be made for continuous use
- gene michael was named g.m. of the yankees
- budweiser ultra
- southwest airlines
- the moral majority, ralph reed and the republican right. the government, my dear friends, won't save you
- the democrats became cowards
- the proliferation of alternate home and road jerseys in the mlb. white at home, grey away. i want the cubs to wear pin stripes at home, the red sox to leave their batting practice jerseys in fort myers and the cardinals baby blues to remain in static display or team photos at the hall of fame
- karl rove
- the wiggles
- s.u.v.s
- robert deniro masqueraded as a comedian. the king of comedy he is not
- lindsay lohan
- i posted this list
dear readers, thank you for wasting precious minutes of your precariously short lives here. i would ask you to refrain from refuting my opinions, but such an assertion would be pointless. that being said, do not expect me to change my opinions. that’s the way it was and i liked it!

I would like to "thank" you Gentry, because for the rest of the day now I will now be hearing Cowboy Troy's "I play chicken with the train, train chicken with the train, train, uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh."
i can only say "damn right" and "amen."
you forgot to mention any food made from tofu or vegi's that is has the prefix "tofu" or "vegi" and the suffex "burger" "dog" "steak" etc. I don't mind tofu, but lets not pretend it is something it aint.
you are only wrong about Southwest. But, that is because you are economically tied to a dinasour company that was shown how poorly it was run by the new breed of airline companies.
While I am not a huge fan of Southwest itself, it has given us Airtran, which has saved my pocketbook many times and the wonderful Jet Blue.
How can a man so right most of the time be so completely and sadly wrong in this case is beyond me.
Get your big airline blinders off and join the rest of us in the 21st century.
yeah, i'll think of southwest next time i fly to london. wait...they don't fly to london!
and i'll think of jet blue when kellie and i hit sydney next year. wait...they don't fly to sidney.
who am i kidding? we all know that i can't afford to fly to those places. i guess instead of traveling i'll hang out with my friends who work for southwest and jet blue and live down in gloucester crossing (beverly's local hood). apparently that's the only place they can afford to live.
how can you see the unsustainable practices of wal-mart and not see the corrosive impact they are having on the airline industry? they provide us what we want, with 200 channels of direct t.v. and a really bad sense of humor, but they are not providing the high paying jobs and international service that the dinsosaurs (i'm not afraid to admit it) have given us for years.
but at least the wal-mart and target air allow their employees to unionize. wait a second...
