and here's something
weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Monday, January 06, 2003
 
A light dusting of snow falls on New York and the city behaves like it's the goddamn Blitzkrieg. Better lay in some supplies, bro, because I heard we could get FIVE INCHES, two of which may actually stick! Get ready to dig out! Holy God Fuck Shit!
     What a bunch of pansy bullshit! New Yorkers clearly have no idea what life is like in other parts of the world. There are places that are covered with snow all year round and there are places with zero annual rainfall that are also really fucking hot all the time. I have seen these places on TV -- they put the "hole" in "hellhole," and I swear that the entire ecosystem of the tropics is designed to digest visiting city folk. Sometimes I wish I had been in Vietnam so that I could tell everybody who ever complains that whatever they're bitching about "ain't nuthin' compared to what me and my buddies saw every day back in 'Nam, you sissy-nancy freak! We had to eat bugs out of hollowed-out babies! And that was in Basic Training! Aaargh! BLAM BLAM BLAM!"
     New Yorkers have a completely undeserved reputation for toughness, maybe based on the old-fashioned idea that only armor-plated robot-people can live in a place with no trees or oxygen. But it's just not true. We're nothing without our protective shell of concrete and garbage. Street smarts may teach us how to not get hit by bike messengers, but good luck using the same skills to avoid pungee pits or zombie leopards -- which are EVERYWHERE in the damn tropics. You should just stay at the airport and find a magazine to fuck. Only the ugliest and toughest creatures can survive in the jungle, which is why there are no kittens or prep schools in the Amazon.
     But according to Animal Planet's "Future is Wild," the future is not bleak -- just freaky. In 200 Million years (says a "scientist") New York City will be inhabited by giant clackety beetles with chainsaws for arms, and the giant acid ocean will be filled with telekinetic "sharkopaths" that menace the combination plant/animals ("planimals") that are the dominant creatures of tomorrow. So we've got that to look forward to. Man, those Animal Planet people are bonkers. That show should have been called "Speculative Scientist is High On Many Different Drugs."

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
