Observations like a Week Off
Posted March 3rd, 2008 by Nathan DeGraaf
Today is my last day of work until next Tuesday. I will be attending, along with five friends, the Langerado festival in Big Cypress, Florida. Unless wireless internet is available down there (and I doubt it will be), Wednesday will be my last post this week. And I will be drunk. Very very drunk. So if I do post after Wednesday this week, look for a shitload of typos. I mean like, way more than usual.
Iran's President recently stated that no one in his country or in Iraq likes the Americans, which really hurt my feelings. Come on guys, we all like to be liked.
I never bought Crocs. I have no problem with people who wear Crocs. I will never wear Crocs. People tell me how comfortable they are. I don't care. People tell me how they don't smell. Doesn't interest me. People ask me why I won't buy Crocs, I say no reason at all. How can someone be so stubborn about something he's never tried and has no hard feelings against? Well, it comes down to one thing: a dire infatuation with flip flops, which I love wearing. If Crocs can come down to $3 a pair, then maybe, just maybe, I will try them. Until then though, I refuse to be sold. There is nothing you can do to convince me to wear Crocs shy of sexual favors. I have been called stubborn in the past.
I can name at least three people who do it like Sara Lee. That lying bitch.
Spring Training baseball games are the sports equivalent of drinking a margarita on a sun soaked patio with a beautiful girlfriend in a thong. Regular season baseball games are the equivalent of drinking a beer in a crowded bar with a hot chick who may or may not want to fuck you. I wish I could explain this further, but we're talking about feelings and those are sometimes difficult to quantify. What can you do?
I'm pretty sure that, if used correctly, Jell-O Wrestling could end all the wars, save the economy and just generally make the world safer for our children. I'm an optimist when it comes to naked chicks wrestling in sticky substances.
Things I think should be more important to congress than steroid use in the MLB:
---Bringing back Calvin and Hobbes
---Producing a Beavis and Butthead DVD that includes all the videos
---Legalizing sports gambling
---Increasing tax breaks for people who are not technically obese so as to encourage health and hotness.
---Abolishing the IRS
---Reducing the debt
---Ending the war
---Saving the Sonics from greedy ownership
---Setting up a legal temperature minimum because humans apparently control all weather through their vehicles
---Two words: lingerie party
If anyone ever tells you that you are the cat's meow, please understand that this means you are less cool than the cat's purr. Arguably, the coolest part of the cat.
And finally, because logic and fluidity have to prepare for four days of festivities and fun, I leave you with the following, which a mom asked me up at the little league park:
"Is there anyway you can umpire without being so loud?"

I'm often told I'm the kitten's whiskers, which I think is kind of like being female pubic hair.
Delicious.
How would you respond if someone called you the cat's anus? Personally I think my response would involve fire in some way shape or form
The slogan is actually: "Nobody Doesn't Like Sara Lee"
it kinda changed my life when i realized that.
So it's not lying...just poor annunciation.
If you meet a little hippie chick from NC doing research at langarado on the festival culture, be nice to her. She's pretty baller and will probably be stoned
Wow, I didn't know the correct Sara Lee slogan until just now either. Double negatives going corporate? What gives?
Also, I've always thought baseball umps and tennis lines people are loud just because it's kind of a tradition to say "strike" or "out" in that totally unintelligible scream. As if one guy from each sport started doing it on TV, and then everyone grew up trying to imitate him.
sweet bro - hope you get to catch beastie boys and 311... if you find a cool t-shirt pick me one up. have a good time bro
Interestingly enough, when I went to check out the slogan on the official website for Sara Lee, they changed it to "the joy of eating." But there are enough documented info saying it's "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" which is blowing my mind...
I just took a look at the festival. Did you know Blind Melon is back together and playing there?
Blind Melon is NOT back together unless the brought Shannon Hoon back from the dead.
Good call on Calvin and Hobbes. Anyone else own all the collections?
I'm so with you on that Beavis and Butthead DVD with the videos...oh yeah, and that war thing, but mostly the videos
