33. Yeah, Spend-Bucks AND Kloggy-Kreems.
I was in Las Vegas yesterday. I saw my first Krispy-Kreme store with the automatic donut maker with the rack crusted with sugar glop. And people fatter than me (and let me tell ya, THAT'S pretty fat!) standing in line practically DROOLING to get those little fat-bombs....The only thing I've seen lately that has more fat is a "Bubba Burger" frozen fat patty. 36 Gms. of fat compared to K-K's 21 grams...

And Starbux? Come ON, now. does anyone REALLY enjoy coffee that smells like it was brewed from the beans that stuck to the bottom of the roaster, then was run through a pair of cat's kidneys, THEN stirred with a charred stick for extra "flavour"?

You should have worked in the furniture repair shop I worked in. When we'd get a major fire insurance job in, EVERYTHING wound up tasting like Starbucks after a few days. Even your cigarettes and baloney sandwich....And it didn't cost $6 for a "Venti"...

18. Life....
I once read in Will and Ariel Durants History of the World, a story about some Countess who was on her death bed, being advised that she would not last the night, to which see answered, "Well, life has not been that great anyway." LOL What a great line... I hope it is true...someone who sees this reality for what it is..."Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Latatudes..."

30. Bose loudspeakers
Crappy, cheap drivers, junk parts in the crossover, and a frequency response curve that looks like a roller coaster. Yet, the republican yuppies I know think they're great.

Even worse is that stupid-ass Bose Radio. $500.00 for a plastic clock radio?

It's a necessity to live, but one should work out of need and not to work just for working's sake.

36. Texas by Texans
I like living here OK, but Texans think this is the Holy Ground where God commanded Moses to remove his sandals. I've lived in five states. Texas is the least physically attractive of the five.
