Almost Daily Observations & Musings: Fantasy Sports, Reverse Racism, & Decorations

While enjoying a bowl of Special K cereal on Sunday morning, i turn on the TV to get a little football pregame. I then quickly realize that I need to adjust my fantasy team, creativley titled "Wax On, Wax Off", because I have some guys coming off the injury report & some other guys on bye this week. After adjusting things for total domination this week, I begin to think that I am getting too old for this. It is becoming a nuisance & I care less & less about it. Those of you in fantasy sports leagues, answer this for me...when you reach a certain age, should you stop playing fantasy sports?

Playing fantasy sports can make you touch yourself more, smile like a horse, and leave you with less than the given amount of fingers.

I was in a grocery store this week to pick up some Pepsi, lunchmeat, & bananas. While walking through the store and browsing at other things that I wanted, I decide to cut through the cereal aisle to get to the lunchmeat area. Well, that really wasnt't a good decision. There was a rather large black woman rifling through various boxes of cereal impeding my progression to get to my lunchmeat. I say, "excuse me", very politley, and I get this response, "I'll be just a minute", which was not said nearly as politley as me. I then say, "well I dont have a minute" and move her cart approximatley one foot to the right so I can progress through the aisle. Well, the rather large black woman did not like this & as I finally made my way down the aisle she yells, "HONKEY" at me. I couldn't contain my laughter as I picked up my lunchmeat & bananas. And at least she didn't call me pal. See my first post, if you dont get that joke.

To make this even more entertaining, this was not the first time I have been called this. During my sophomore year in high school, my bus driver, called myself & my group of friends "honkey white crackas" becasue she thought we were in a gang. She was brought to this conclusion due to the fact that when we walked on the bus every day, we would shout, "wud up G?!?!?!?" I think she took the job as a bus driver because she just wasn't qualified enough to work at the law firm.

Am I the only one who thinks that holiday decorations have gone way too far? Everywhere I look, there are decorations for every holiday on the calendar. I bring this up because the massive decorating season is upon us.

Halloween is right around the corner & you have adults, grown men & women, who decorate their homes, inside & out, to scare the shit out of 5 year olds. I firmly believe that is their sole purpose. As if dressing up like morons isnt enough.

And there are people who decorate for thanksgiving. This should be punishable by nights in jail. There is no good reason as to why you should hang "turkey lights" from your tree in the front yard. Eat your massive dinner, drink plenty of wine, & you will eventually see turkey lights hanging from the tree in your front yard.

How in the world did the tradition of decorating for christmas begin? I can see this scenario...a guy comes home drunk, cuts down the pine tree in his front yard & he drags it inside. His wife asks, "why are you bringing that into the house?" His response is, "We're gonna decorate it...with candy...for Jesus. And then we're gonna hang a plant from the ceiling & we're gonna kiss under it"...now excuse me while i puke on the sofa"

And who came up with the idea for Easter?.....the people at Hallmark had to have worked hard at this one..."let's see, jesus died & he rose from the dead....how about eggs????....and people will hide them....and their will be rabbits....let's do it!!!!"

Seriousley?!?!?!? Stop it already!!!!
