New Rules
 

Subject: New Rules

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the
football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout? Luckily, it was only a finger!

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket: water, but without that watery taste. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it
melt.
That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom.And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved
the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the shmuck. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, are you
a jerk!

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy. Paper, plastic? I don't have time for that. I've just been
called to do a cleanup on Aisle Nine!

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates into "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because Watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that.
It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.

New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place
is the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't care in the first place.

I went into a Starbucks once. I ordered a small (or whatever the hell they call a small) black coffee. They gave me a weird look.

And never did see a pack of those larger M&Ms...wanna see what the fuss is about.

Here here with the eyebrow rule.

As long as they aren't bushier than mine.

And mine are pretty bushy.

Re: New Rules
 

I have always hated the baby/month thing. Honestly, I am considering just saying it for how old I am now.

Re: New Rules
 

Funny! But rude! :) I'm with him on many. Starbucks, if I ever go, it's 'medium iced-tea' and that's the last thing I can remember ordering there.

The cashier thing, my dad is all about the cashier thing. He refuses to do the self-checkout thing that some stores have started. He feels like he's getting short-changed if he isn't 'served' or whatever he thinks. And I can see that. But I can ring myself out so much faster than a good many of the people they hire.

Andddd... no wait I guess I agree with all of them except that :). Though I do care to hear about other people's kids.

Re: New Rules
 

Here, here to the Chinese characters! Spiritual wannabes!

It's almost as infuriating as tight, acid stained jeans, thick black framed glasses, and used T-shirts with random prints! :mad:

Re: New Rules
 

At least those aren't permanent...unless you had the shirt grafted to your body...

Re: New Rules
 

Damnit.

Re: New Rules
 

That turned out to be a hoax... *nod*

Re: New Rules
 

Wait, that came out wrong, I didn't mean what I said. :(

Re: New Rules
 

Yes, yes you did. You meant everyword of it. But it is true though.
