thestormof59:

so here goes my first (and let’s be real here…probably last) installment of what i’ve dubbed “things that should have a way less important sounding names.” let’s kick it off, shall we kids? fuck yes we shall

first up the proverbial plate - “equestrian”

seriously? seriously you guys? you’re rich, you’re white, you ride a fucking horse. take the champagne cork out of your asshole, take off that silly, boob-resembling hat, and go fall down somewhere. you’re a horse rider. whatever viagra-saturated country club member that came up with the word ‘equestrian’ is probably in the same family tree as that suburban trophy wife with the obvious boob-job-of-midlife-desperation who decided to pronouce target “tar-jay.”

batter up - “sod”

oh, you mean grass? try something for me here people. next time you’re about to use the word “grass” in a sentence (happens to me alllll the time (no that was not a pot joke, it was sarscasm)), try replacing it with the word “sod.” yep, go ahead. “ah my dog shit all over the carpet ‘cause he was out back eating sod all day.” let me guess exactly what the person you’re talking to you is going to do. they’ll jerk noticably backward, with that look of uncertainty. yes, you did just say sod. you also just bought a dale earnheardt folding chair for using the word sod in a sentence. just because you move it from one place to another doesn’t make it any less grass.

number three - “french toast”

sure, they may have invented it, but this is fucking america. we shit standing up (where applicable). we’re a nation built on taking things from other people, changing the name, and making it our own. so fuck you, it’s bread covered in eggs. where in this shithole is my george foreman grill?

next up - “shift manager”

shit manager.

last one for tonight - “public relations director”

if you go to parties and get drunk enough to talk with people more important than you, stop what you’re doing. put that vodka in a water bottle, whiskey-tango your way on over to the community college, and get a degree for being able to relate to the public. we’re all the public. i’m going to bed

Oh Ryan, a summer with out you is like the twin towers without planes. I miss you, and this school year is going to be awesome. Why you ask? Because we don’t have to sit on East Green drinking Natural Light from Mountain Dew cans, and in my drunken rage order that everyone around me must shotgun a Mt. Dew. God bless America.

affremble:

Chinese officials admit deceiving the public over yet another highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony.

The voice we heard singing “Hymn to the Motherland” during the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony belongs to little Yang Peiyi (left), age 7. The child we actually saw during the ceremony is 9 year old Lin Miaoke (right). Why the switch? Unfortunately, various officials deemed Yang Peiyi unsuitable to represent her country as she was considered a bit too homely.

One can only begin to image the harm done as a result of this mean-spirited action. Shame on all the Chinese officials responsible for the various deceits connected with the opening ceremony, and for the ugliness you have exhibited in your dealings with these young girls. Hopefully, you will have the good sense to allow little Yang Peiyi to sing at the closing ceremony.

British Businessman Decapitates Himself in Sports Car Suicide

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 01:22:25 -0400

British Businessman Decapitates Himself in Sports Car Suicide:

In a grim attempt at revenge against his estranged wife, a British businessman committed suicide by decapitation in his Aston Martin sports car, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported Friday.

According to the Mail, Gerald Mellin, 54, had been consumed with dark thoughts surrounding his 34-year-old wife’s decision to leave him.

The day before his death, a court had granted Mirielle Mellin additional alimony, the Mail reported.

Following the decision, in the last contact with his wife, Mellin sent a text message reading, “Congratulations, XXX.”

The businessman then reportedly tied one end of a rope he kept in his Aston Martin convertible to a tree and wrapped the other end of it around his neck as he sat in the driver’s seat. He then drove the car at a high speed onto a busy road, forcing other drivers to witness his violent suicide, the Mail said.

Phillip Rogers, the coroner assigned to the case, ruled the cause of death as decapitation.

“I’m satisfied this was a deliberate attempt by Mr. Mellin to kill himself.”

“

In four minutes you will be gone and I must tell you why.
When a star crashes, the angels are electrified.
Your life changes in ways you can’t imagine.
When your dreams are perfect, they run like machines and leave you dizzy.
When you first discover you’re dying, everyone seems to be saying goodbye.
When your dreams are perfect, they run like machines.
You must change your life. You are never ready.
You must change your life. You are never ready.
There are people you have to leave behind, they just dirty up your mouth.
They don’t value your treasure.

You fall down, you kiss up, you love them, it’s not enough.
They’re nothing special and you’re such a treasure.
If you had no magic here you’d be just like everyone else.
Imagine the tragedy.

You must change your life. You are never ready.
You must change your life. You are never ready.

Love is like crying like writing like dying.
You’ve got to do it alone.

I know it’s tragic to be tender
I know it’s dangerous to be kind
I know it’s vicious to care.

Listen to me, I know what’s going to happen.

You don’t need a window, you need a fire escape,
you’ll need a skylight to get where you have to go.
I can’t tell you where.

And you dreampt that you were hollow
and you dreampt that you were whole.
Reconstruct what you remember and it comes out in pieces.

Those below you can’t hold you up
everyone is gone gone gone
everyone is gone gone gone
learn to swim alone learn to fly.

Cast them off like long rope and learn to swim the dark water alone. Look up to the stars stars stars and know that this is your sky now.

lift your arms and go
step forward in Nureyev leap
blink fast and whirr over streets
hover over trees
speed past taxis
don’t even bother to wave
at the children who watch you
awestruck
brushing past skyscrapers
and looking up
slip off the long skirt
that slows you down
and don’t look back

”
