Last week I told you what I wanted for Christmas (Nick and I are still accepting presents), and now this week - just to be safe - I'd like to tell you what I neither want nor need (again, please note that we are currently accepting presents).
9. Zombies - I am so horrendously sick of America's fascination with the undead - particularly zombies. What is so exciting about what is essentially a deranged flesh eating clown without the makeup? (Oh yeah, I hate clowns too...)
8. Twilight - Perhaps it goes without saying based on #9, but this particular parasitic bit of YA fiction can go eat some garlic laced silver nitrate and die.
7. Tyler Perry and M. Night Shyamlan - Original, eh?
6. Multi-Baby Mama Drama - If Jon & Kate plus 8 and the Octomom simply vanished, we as a nation would all be better off.
Deep Dish Sucks!
5. Chicago style deep dish pizza - The crust is overly buttery, the toppings are boring, and after one slice you're full. Pizza is NOT a casserole. [Note - I have to disagree on this one. IMO, ya gotta go straight to the source! Either Pizzeria Uno or Pizzeria Due ("due" as in italian for "two") in downtown Chi-town. Or, check out some of the local deep dish in the nearby (a.k.a. not Peoria) Chicago suburbs. - Nick] [Author's Note - Neal has been to both Due & Uno, as well as Giordano's and they all suck donkey balls! sorry Chi]
4. Hipsters - Hey you, scenesters! Guess what? I actually like music and occasionally bowling. Perhaps you could take your chain smoking, overly compressed testes somewhere else.
gross.
3. CG - The current state of computer graphics in movies is apalling. SFX look shittier and more phoned in then ever before. Remember the Matrix? If you want cool character makeup / effects, you should really just call Tom Savini.
2. Biodiesel - Nothing grinds my gears more than people who prattle on about how awesome biofuels are. Biodiesel is crap and so are your views on the environment. Oh - and screw you too ethanol. [Note - Neal once killed a man for believing in global warming. - Nick] [Author's Note - Yup, global warming is junk science]
1. Someone freezing and slicing my brain live on the Internet - They were actually doing this on Wednesday for some famous amnesiac. In three words: Do. Not. Want.
Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome!
Its not global warming now that the world has been shown the truth. Now the rabble rousers are calling it "climate change". Yeah, that's like the spin-doctors renaming creationism to intelligent design to make it more acceptable in today's day and age. Bottom line, its just a lobbyist group looking for a wad of cash from the government to prop up their lifestyle. Damned, dirty hippies!! [Image of Charlton Heston sans the apes.]
You're right Tom. I was going to say CARB, but they are the main reason that you and I have/had jobs. That said, biodiesel is nearly the worst thing on earth, destroying both the American farmer and our emissions control products.
Why aren't we investing in nuclear? All this NIMBY crap is preventing us from making some real investment in our energy infrastructure. (I'm sure Randy would mention wind power, but even that suffers from the same acceptance problems as nuclear)
