Crap that I'm sick of...
Because there’s crap...and then there is crap that I'm sick of...
Crap that I'm sick of is a new feature that should appear every Friday on Verbal Jazz as a small list of items (i.e. crap) that I'm sick of:
1. Total Recall Three-ring Circus: As if the California Recall election were not enough (and I live in Massachusetts!), the puns and inanities surrounding this thing have been driven into the ground. Perhaps the Recall needs "Diff'rent Strokes," but referring to it as a circus is redundant and playing on the title of an Arnold action film gets old. How 'bout some issues?
2. "Know what I mean, jelly bean?:" This was actually part of an overheard cell-phone conversation at my favorite sandwich shop today. Prior to this the young woman on the phone had one conversation where she told the person on the other end that she had something "really illuminating" to say, but would wait until Tuesday (today is Friday). She then hung up the phone to have the "jelly bean" conversation which involved leaving the keys to some car somewhere. Not until she ordered her food did she actually go outside where she proceeded to have another cell phone conversation while smoking a cigarette. Those are two strikes against her being my friend.
3. Kobe Bryant: The jury will decide.
4. The Blackout: Obviously it is a big story, but really only an inconvenience and a lesson about our dependence on electricity.
5. High Spin Zone: Matt Drudge reported that it was Bill O'Reilly that asked Fox News to go after Al Franken. Looks like poor Bill can’t fight his own battles. Anyone remember when he screamed at Franken to "Shut Up!" Looks like Bill is lost unless he can control the debate and badger the opposition. Sounds a lot like a spin-zone to me.
