IO: I hate listening to people talk about their children's medicore accomplishments

[UberBeaver]

"My son was approaced by an assisstant coach of some school no one has ever heard of so it looks promising...." Huh? What looks promising? STFU.

I wonder if my parents used to talk about me like that. lol. "Michael actually came home last night. He looked almost coherent, so...yeah, it looks promising." I'd be so disappointed with me if I was my kid.

Maybe I should post this in ZC? Nah, it's more official than confessional. To confess you have feel you did something wrong, right? I'm just sick of people, nothing wrong with that.

kids who needs em'...

just so I know... what exactly are we voting on here?

 

[UberBeaver]

Well, in an effort to save bandwidth, I geniously [sic for irony] combined a poll asking for the best Replacements song with a pet peeve. You can vote on both your fav Replacements song above, and then weigh in on where you stand on the children's mediocrity and their parents love of it. Something for everyone, you know?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

That's what I thought it was...

Thanks for making this both infromative and fun at the same time

 

[Bonochick]

infromative

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

what? You've never heard of "infromative" before?

It's like an afro for intellectuals...

That entire post meant nothing to me up until this part.

Care to tell us what happened that prompted this particular rant?

Or, has this been building up over time?

The first sentence was said just outside my office and it was just such a non-story it annoyed me. I don't know why. I'm an angry man, I guess.

It's like those honor student bumper sticker. It really doesn't take all that much to be an honor student in fuckin' middle school. Like a B- or better. Which means doing your homework and not failing half your tests.

By the way, I sent in a college application to Delaware County Community College - Chester County Campus (AKA: DCCCCCC). So, it looks promising.

 

[UberBeaver]

Exactly, PF26!

Good luck getting into DCCCCCC. You should play cricket there so you could be on the DCCCCCCCricketClub or DCCCCCCCC.

I'm going to start the DCCCCCC Beekeeper's Society.

gotta love the acronyms for schools...

A friend of mine went to Aurora High School... It was supposed to be Aurora Secondary School but that wouldn't have looked very good on a sweat shirt...

I'm still waiting to go to the C.S. Lewis Institute for Trekkies.

I've never been there before.

Maybe when you're older...

Some of my friends have been there before though... little awkward.

It's just north of the Virginia Alumni Garden In New Arlington.

I've heard it's surrounded by the Bayridge United Symposium of Health.

Depends on who you talk to...

 

[UberBeaver]

I've heard it's surrounded by the Bayridge United Symposium of Health.

That's true, and it makes getting there a real bitch so most of the year I prefer to get there by taking the South Harbor All Valley Exit (Downtown.)

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

ah the ultimate question, is it:

the Bayridge United Symposium of Health

OR

the South Harbor All Valley Exit (Downtown.)

 

[UberBeaver]

Honestly, I'm fine with either or. Though I can only take so much of the Bayridge United Symposium of Health - I mean, really now, you know? It ain't 1973 anymore, people - we've made advances and the Bayridge United Symposium of Health should acknowledge and keep with these trends. Seriously.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Beav, you know you're my hero, right?

 

[phillyfan26]

Exactly, PF26!

Maybe I'll join the Conservative Christian Club - the DCCCCCCCCC.

Apparently James Blunt enjoys the Bayridge United Symposium of Health then.

 

[UberBeaver]

It only took me 2 hours, but I finally got that ^.

 

[phillyfan26]

I still don't get it.

 

[UberBeaver]

James Blunt likes big hairy bush. And he sings that 1973 song.
