INSULTS: BRING 'EM BACK

People are pansies these days, and can't take a good insult.  I am one of those pansies, but that doesn't mean I don't like to dish out the pain.  Embracing hypocrisy: it's gonna be huge in '10! 

One of my favourite insults comes courtesy of my beloved pops, who gets his chuckles calling people "dirty Ruskies."  Kids these days are too stupid to know that Ruskies means Russians, and therefore commies, so I just cut out the middleman and call people filthy communists. 

WHAT A LOSER! AHAHAHA

D-bag is also effective--even Tracy Jordan agrees:

Scumbag money grubbing future lawyer can be fun if you're needling your law student boyfriend, but expect tears, so tread cautiously.

LAWYERS ARE JERKS, AMIRITE?

I can't do all the work for you lazy bastards.  You get the idea.

GAMES ARE FUN

Kids (normal ones, not self-actualized-at-the-age-of-8 weirdos) are always trying to be cool.  Cool dictates a lot of our choices at a young age -- friendships, hobbies, school, fashion...

"But does my hair distract from my No Fear shirt?"Most of us, wisely, move past this shit by the time we reach university -- Kate probably hit this wisdom before me, but she's hella old.  Point is, once you realize that everything you once thought most important is actually least, decision making becomes a lot easier.

You do things because you like them, or because they pay the rent, but not so other people will be your friends.  Maybe that's not always the case, but for the most part, it better be.

I'm getting somewhere with this, srsly.  Wait for it...

This is a long-winded and high-minded justification for playing backgammon on Saturday night instead of going out drinking with friends. 

Backgammon ain't cool but that don't make victory taste any less sweet!

 At least it wasn't computer backgammon. Only NERDS play backgammon on their computers! HAHAHAHA NERDS!
