So BAD it's good

Thanks to Kristin for sending me this link. No really, THANK YOU. I have no idea if this is real or not, but the fact that it is based on the premise that it IS real is pretty much good enough for me. If it actually IS real...than this is easily the sickest/funniest thing I've seen in a while.



This is a clip from a larger segment dealing with irrational fears...I notice that the other "guests" have fears of things such as: dogs, mustard, and pickles. The interesting thing about this is that I have an aversion to ...dogs, mustard, and pickles.

I can't say enough about this...it's just too hilarious/disgusting...it ranks right below my favorite Maury sketches - fat babies:



Whose more despicable, Maury for putting this on or me for digging it back up? I vote Maury.

Ok, now that's enough.

I've mentioned before how I get occasionally helpful tips from the spam box. Well, apparently I haven't taken enough of these tips to heart, because the spam is starting to turn mean. Damn mean.

Click for my humiliation

I "circled" the ones that got me particularly riled up. There is absolutely no reason why the email has to take this tone with me. Just recommend the enchancement drugs and loan consolidations and leave me be. Is that so difficult? When did this become personal? I don't remember doing anything to spam.

The first and probably most upsetting one from "ddinizo@verizon.net" says "what a stupid face you have here swilliams". How insulting. I'm a bit confused by the "here" part, but I get the gist. I can't see what purpose this would have other than to insult me. What product could they possibly offer to help me with my stupid face? Didn't Mama Spam teach the whole "if you can't email something nice..." thing? The "what a" part really conveys that even they cannot believe how stupid my face is. Well, it makes me feel pretty bad, thats for sure. I guess that was their goal from the beginning.

"Stop being the joke around town" Well, in addition to having a stupid face, I'm also the joke around town. Is my face the joke or is it something that I will learn later? What's particularly upsetting is that two separate "people" sent me this email. It's getting to the point that I'm such a joke, that people cannot keep it in. Maybe the intent is to inform me of my ridicule status in hope that I could fix it and retain some shred of dignity, but I get the feeling that however well intended they enjoy telling me that I'm a laughing stock. This really sucks. How much worse could this get?

I have to lump that last two together. They may be unrelated, but I think I'm starting to discern a pattern. "More inches and more force" Ok...so this may be the joke. Frankly I'd like to know who is starting these rumors "around town". I think I can safely file a libel suit against "johnsonr.johnson@eajb.com.sa (oh very clever). Hmmm, I believe ".sa" indicates a Saudi Arabian origin. This conspiracy just went global. Am I in over my head? "Boost your acting in bed" is a different yet no less slanderous statement. "Acting". I'm just acting? When I'm doing what? Sleeping? I need to be a more convincing sleeper? Or is it referring to other bedroom activities. Apparently either way, I'm not fooling anyone. VERY disheartening.

These emails combined to be quite the stomach punch. I feel very exposed after this. I have my reputation and dignity to repair after all of this, and I'm not sure how to do it. I suppose I could respond to each one and plead my case, or just try to ignore them. Not a good day when you get your ass kicked by email. The worst part is what I would have to do to prove these emails wrong. You know what, forget this. As far as I'm concerned spam can go eff itself. THEN we'll see who the joke is.

I don't know why I'm posting this one. It's yet another scrapbook entry. I laughed out loud when I found it though.. I showed it to my wife and got zero response. Perhaps that was my first red flag. This should in no way be funny, perhaps my innuendo inundated brain (huh?) matched patterns that should not be there in the first place.



Yeah, this is pretty old. I'm guessing Kindergartenish. Lower case"a" gave me a hard time back then. I found entire sheets of paper where I apparently just practiced how to write a lower case "a". I do like how the teacher gave me a little witch stamp along with her comment "good". Honestly "good" is a bit disappointing. She could have tossed an exclamation point on there. It's not like I was gonna get a big head or anything. How many other kids colored Little Tommy Stout's shoes red??. Sure maybe black for the cat was a bit unoriginal. But did she notice the BLUE cloud? Oh well.

I guess the only reason for posting this was the text. It was not uncommon to refer to cat's as pussies back then. Far less common today. heh. However, it's the lack of pronoun in the second to last sentence that made me laugh once it is all put into context. Like I said, it's pretty weak, and frankly borderline offensive. But I offer no apologies.


Seriously though Tommy, that's like the least effective method.

If I were a teacher grading this blog, I'm not even sure I would give a "good" I think I would give a stamp of sneaker and write underneath it "whatevs". C-
