2.  the band of creepy old laidies who work at Burger King.
3.  the lady that I see standing on the corner everyday in the sombrero
4. N SYNC
5.  penguins ( I love them, but they can't fly)

7. MTV (corrupting the pre-teenage world as we know it)
8.  Mr. Ammer's second period sophmore high honors english class
9.  The Green Knight from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
10.  Mr. Ammer and how he asked me for a metaphor on life and I  missed the first part of it and simply said that Life was dancing in the rain and he just looked at me like I was insane and corrected me by saying that Life was A DANCE in the rain...
11.  Katie (my math partner), her fingers, her ring.
12. the fact that my class ring cannot simply be delievered the same day as all the other class rings, but rather that I have to wait 3-4 wks for mine.
13. The Backstreet Boys
14.  Trees
15.  fingernail polish
16. White-out (why must people question that I am the white-out god?)
17. Joey

19.  Study Hall
20. Mc Donalds (during the daytime, there's a Mc Donalds where all these absurd old laidies work and they all call ya "honey" and everything... ahhh)

i am here to defend cell phones and hair dye.

as a hair dyed cell phone user, i'm all for them.     wisdom comes with age.  haha.

and we had some stupid lady do that at work.  because she tripped on the sidewalk outside and didn't break her fall so she mashed up her face a bit.  and who's fault is that?  not ours.  i mean, sidewalks are everywhere.  learn how to walk.

i've never sued a soul, though i have plenty of reason to.  it's pointless.  i'm not an american.

:: shrugs ::

more abusurd things?

- the price of barbies and barbie accessories.
- restaurant cooks who can never remember to make your order properly.
- waiters who don't know the meaning of the words 'extra tomatoes'.  i never get extra tomatoes.  it sucks!!
- teenyboppers.
- the price of gas.
- pop music [though we've discussed this in a previous thread heh].
- anything to do with pop culture nowadays.

and so it goes.

nice thread allysa.

i WILL be back.  

long live the absurd thread!!

3. grammar, parts of sentences, nouns... blah blah blah... as long as one speaks properly, one should not have to take grammar in school.
4. Mr Ammer (I may have already mentioned him... Allie {a friend} and I think he might have PMS, but he's also crazy, so it makes it funny)

1. No payments until whatever year ads. The worst way to purchase anything.

2. Just about every commercial ever made, because they were created for morons.

3. SUVs. I mean really, how many SUV owners actually take them off-road? And please, spare me with the, "I need one to haul every one else's kids around" theory. Drive to work in the morning and count how many SUVs on the road contain more than 1 or maybe, just maybe 2 persons. If you need to haul an umpty-squat load of kids, get a stationwagon or share the driving duties with other parents.

4. Cell phones. I mean come on people, do I really need to listen to what stanger Bob plans on having for dinner tonight or Aunt Gertrudes re-occuring bouts with diarrhea?

5. People who drive SUVs while chatting on their cell phones.

6. People who don't understand how to drive. These people don't have a clue. Here are some of their absurdities...

- tailgating, especially when the driver being tailgated has no where else to go. I guess the tailgater expects the tailgatee to jump the vehicle in front of them.

- Speeding towards the traffic light when the light is changing or has changed to red. Hey, by doing this, they just may make the light change back to green again.

- Zig-zagging between lanes. Oh sure, this is going to help them get to where they are going much faster...maybe by 1-3 minutes. I have a suggestion for this group...leave for your destination 1-3 minutes sooner and quit changing lanes so much. It so funny to me, that the majority of these people don't understand that traffic lights negate their intentions.

- slow drivers.
- drivers who drive SIDE BY SIDE, thus preventing anyone from getting by.
- drivers who drive BELOW the speed limit in perfect driving conditions.
- drivers who drive SIDE BY SIDE BELOW the speed limit.
- drivers who come RACING up the curb lane, only to cut in front of you because of a parked car.  while EVERYONE ELSE is waiting in the median lane.
- drivers who don't signal.
- tailgaters.
- cutting people off.
- coming SPEEDING through a yield when you DON'T have enough time!!  the sign is there for a reason.
- the majority of drivers over seventy.
- anyone who drives a buick.
- or an oldsmobile.
- the majority of teenage male drivers in mommy and daddy's car.
- when people like to race at stoplights.
- people who DON'T stop for a red light.
- speed freaks.
- people who drive on the shoulder!!
- drivers who speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down for no reason.
- people who take up more than one parking space.
- or park too close to your car.

and so it goes on and on and on and on.

will people EVER learn to drive?!?!

<------ (must be absurd):

drives an suv (for the 4 wheel drive and snowboard gear capacity of course),
leaves 1-3 minutes LATER than she should,
so weaves in and out of lanes,
speeds up to yellow lights (to bomb through them of course),
and in Boston you can't use a blinker/directional (or at least it isn't advised, if the person in the lane you are 'hoping' to get into _sees_ your blinker on, they speed up to close any gap to prevent you from getting in, so you have to scoot in there before they have the chance),
and she does this all while talking on her cell phone. Boy oh boy.
(no I'm not proud of this and I don't do it _all_ the time, I'm just laughing at a few of these entries).

Serenity,

"I just have one thing to add about the SUV. Live in a state where 3-6 ft. of water is an annual occurence and you will understand."

~ So what did you all do before the SUV craze? I can see it now, LA prior to the 1990s, traffic comes to a standstill due to flooded then stalled automobiles.

But on a less humorous note, check out the news for our humble state during the next hurricane. More than likely you will see the inevitable shot of cars stalled and people stranded in emergency conditions, on the ONLY EVACUATION route.

We don't have one, but we do own a large truck. Unfortunately, unless we grow wings, (not bloody likely ) our only hope for higher ground is a higher vehicle.

Peace to you Opeth, and may you never have to deal with such a thing in a low riding vehicle.

people

egos

cell phones (can be very helpful, but who uses it for helpful reasons? no, people have conversations in the grocery store about their petty personal lives that trust me no one else in the grocery store wants to hear about)

mtv

trends

religious junkies "spreading the word" by telling you you're going to hell unless you "find God"

fast food

people who just don't get it, but are "sophisticated" enough to think that they do (yeah right. go get another latte, loser.)

gossip

the sick plastic of our society that as a society we can never escape because a society will never be the individual

1. when your boyfriend shows up just as you've made a grilled cheese sandwhich to give you a card and some twizzlers... why does he have to be so sweet?  It would be easier if he just.....  wasn't.

Feeling great about your life when your smushed in a bed, under the covers, between your best (female) friend and your other best (male) friend who happens to be your boyfriend's ex-best friend and happens to have a crush on you, and keeps kissing the top of your head.   AHHHH!

when your boyfreind flips out because he finds out you were laying in bed w/ your best female friend and she kissed you.  Woo-hoo.  I'm a lesbian now... not.

there's nothing wrong with bisexuality.  i'm bi.  why does everyone always get so worked up over it?  i don't understand it.

I've noticed that most of the girls who say they're bi actually aren't, but say it because it's trendy or because they kissed a girl. (Pssst.. that doesn't make you bi.) Not accusing you, Jen. You just reminded me of it.

Now that's pretty absurd.

I walked up to a girl and since I'm not one to hit on people who are straight (the considerate homo), I asked her if she was female inclined. She said yes, but then later told me she wasn't serious. She only said that to "impress" the guys sitting at her table.

Roll of the eyes.


Life is where you look for it.

Ok, my friends and I have this club that we have actually dubbed "the girls club".  There's me, Alison, her boyfriend Lance (who is bi and very female-ish) and my freind Ryan (who is also bi).  My boyfriend doesn't get it.  Alison and I are like sisters, hence why it was cool that she kissed me when I'm not bi.  We shave our legs together, take baths together.... etc.

Love. I mean, what the hell am I thinking about, trying to get Ryan to fall in love with me, when I have my entire life ahead of me? (and a trip to Florida when he hands me the money he owes me in the spring )

Bloody emotions, I'd like to shoot them all... mine, anyways. The rest of you can keep yours.  How saintly of me

Anyone who is selling their car and uses a "For Sale By Owner" sign.

Hummmmmm...absurd things?
(I probably don't even belong in this thread, since it looks like the younger crowd is here............and I might start being compared to the ladies at Burger King?   HeeHee!!)
Actually? I think it's absurd when people (whatever age), are always putting other people down.....
I personally believe there is something good in everybody        no matter who they are, how they look, or what they may or may not have done. Granted, you have to look harder to find the good in some people more than you have to look for it in others.

A Tone Of Voice.....I think the electronic messages are sometimes absurd, too. The best thing is not to punch the numbers they tell you to, so they'll think you don't have a Touchtone phone.  That's what some of the places who have them told me....
