Down the Drain

I hate doing dishes too.
I hate doing dishes too.

I am still sick as a dog –more specifically, as a sick dog — so I thought I’d share the misery with you all by sharing this, what is possibly the most depressing ad for paper cups ever devised. Who knew that the solution to “the problem that has no name” was Dixie cups?

Mr. Show offered an updated take on this ad technique with their classic Mayostard/Mustardayonnaise ad parodies:

Although it could also pass for a hairball.

How is it possible that there’s a :burrito: but not a :kitteh: ? What kind of world is this?

I can only wonder which came first: the mayostard advertisements, or Dijonnaise.

Okay. I can do more than wonder. Two quick searches reveal that Dijonnaise was introduced in 1992 while the Mr. Show was first aired in 1995.

Ah, but if a giant cat gets bored, this can happen.

Cats snoring – most of ours have. Fribs is a super-snorer, I can hear her from another room. Mads snores even when she’s awake. Well, more or less awake.

Whereas I don’t like miracle whip OR mayo, but I do like gay men. Our hivemind seems to be broken again.

Since the unfortunate reality is that some feminists are intolerant of gay men (be disappointed if you want, I know the vast majority are not like that, but I also know extreme opinions and intolerance tend to show up far more often on the internet), acceptance is a good way of determining whether or not a website is rational and readable. Yes, I am gay, and no, I have no intention of trolling anyone. I was honestly wondering what this site’s position on the matter was. Also I didn’t feel like lurking because I very seldom read blogs. Sorry.

If you’re looking on the internet, you’ll probably also find feminists who are intolerant of feminists.

WordPress doesn’t seem to have a puking emoticon. I know Skype does.

Slaves were freer than free men, because they could hold down a greater variety of jobs

And they get free room and bored too! Lucky ducks!

Is there a duck emoticon?
