Right...well...I'm off..yet again, to enjoy yet another weekend. I thought, however, since most of my verbosity and exchanges are in fact done in the chatroom (which is why my post count in the NB is so low even after some 5+ years here), I thought I'd use my departures on Friday nights to share some of my more irreverent cogitations that would ordinarily get shared with those who frequent the chatroom.
As some of you know, I drive for a living...and while I'm as conscientious as I can be at what I do, there are times when I have nothing but time to think...and this is a very dangerous thing for someone with a mind like mine. Don't misunderstand what I say here...I'm not implying I'm some uber-intelligent summamabitch, or that I'm a potential threat to society as a whole. Whether or not I'm either/or is that which I'll leave to the interpretations of all who read whatever rants/postulations/suggestions/questions/answers/ what have you that I offer here. Please trust me when I say...the true aim I have is to entertain...to amuse....with that having been said...I offer this random thought that occurred to me earlier this morning: **clears throat** I find irony to be an interesting study. See...Alanis Morrisette got it all wrong with that pathetically dopey-ass song "Isn't It Ironic?" Give ya a case in point...see, she sings about how a black fly in your white chardonnay, rain on your wedding day, good advice that you just can't take, etc..etc...are all ironies....these are NOT ironies...a black fly in your chardonnay means either the fly has a penchant for alcohol, or you're too busy holding the glass while standing outdoors...rain on your wedding day is just an unfortunate circumstance if you had plans of getting some choice photos taken outdoors (in some cultures, rain on a wedding day is actually a good omen), and good advice that you just can't take means it's either advice you just can't use, or you're a thick mutherfucker who won't listen to anyone else but yourself. So...now that we know what irony isn't... let me offer an example of what irony IS. Irony...is naming an airport 'Reagan International' after the very President who laid off all those air traffic controllers. See? There's an association going on there with a result or a twist you wouldn't rightly expect.
Having said that...here's an irreverent, and ironic thought.... imagine if you will a Christian-coalition group who are advocates for waiting until you're married to have sexual relations. Wouldn't it be ironic and funnier than fuck-all if they called themselves 'G.R.A.B.A.S.S.?' Distilled, the acronym would stand for:
Generations
Rallying
Against
Beelzebub
And
Sexual
Suggestion
....by all means....ponder whilst you chuckle....and I'll see y'all on Monday. Edited at: Friday, November 14, 2008 8:24:06 PM
