Signs I’m Just Not Cool Enough Anymore

#43 :: When you ain’t down with the Street Lingo.

This happened to me this weekend. Im in line at the food counter at the cinema and this dude behind me says to me, “Is that your tristle?”

I go “excuse me?” Totally confused. What language is he speaking? Do I have my fly open? Do I have BO? WHAT!!!???

“Is that your tristle I see out there? I just got a black M3 myself.”

It is then I realized that tristle, noun, was in fact a car. My ride. My wheels. My G-Ride. My automobile.

What followed was the most bizzare conversation Ive had in a very long time. And Im not counting that drunken conversation I had a couple of nights ago with a 4-foot midget either… This was far worse. It mostly consisted of him saying words that were way beyond my vocabulary, or as I would prefer to call it, below my vocabulary. At least thats what I keep telling myself to feel better. All I could do was nod, say “huh” and hang on for dear life and hope that this mind fuck will be over soon.

Am I that old that I’m not doooown wit the Street Lingo anymore? Sad sad sad. I be trippin’ yo.

The Large Hadron Collider is just a few days from being switched on and some of the scientists have received death threats. Basically it is believed that the collider will finally tell us more about the Big Bang Theory and might actually create a new element. Some scientists have theorized that such collisions could cause a miniature black hole to form and obliterate the planet. Hah!

Today’s Weird Japanese News Story comes from the dirty world of murder crimes and Police Investigations: Police was frantically called to a murder investigation… After a complete day of panic and “police activity,” it was determined that the “victim” was in fact a sex-doll.

By mid-afternoon, the body was in the hands of police pathologists. But when they sliced open the wrapping, they were confronted not by a decomposing corpse, but by a life-sized sex doll. “Our guess is that the owner didn’t want to take a risk by throwing it away with the rest of his rubbish,” he said. “It was an incredibly irresponsible thing to do.”

Ya, who in their right mind throws away a perfectly good sex doll?

Thomas Friedman on how McCain went from being a champion of the environment to just another Big Oil candidate.

With his choice of Sarah Palin — the Alaska governor who has advocated drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and does not believe mankind is playing any role in climate change — for vice president, John McCain has completed his makeover from the greenest Republican to run for president to just another representative of big oil.

Now the choice is crystal clear: Obama is the only Green Candidate left.

Cindy McCain’s outfit at the RNC last night was $300,000! And they have the balls to call Obama an elitist! Fucking pathetic.

I know I make fun of McCain of being a grumpy old man but this interview is a perfect example. Do you remember your grand father or any old men, when they havent had their afternoon nap or tea get really cranky? Do you want that old man to be anywhere near a nuclear arsenal that can wipe out the entire world?

The VP’s 17-year daughter is pregnant. Now I wouldnt care about this as this is a personal matter - but this is significant because Palin believes that the only way we can curn teen pregnancy is to teach Abstinence-Only and not proper sex education to children. So clearly, she is right and we are all wrong. Another win for Abstinence-Only Sex Ed! Hi Five! All this is way too easy and way too much fun!
