TC the Terrible

I came in this morning to a half dozen voice mails and twice that many e-mails waiting for me.  Normally my Friday’s are pretty laid back and I can even get in a long lunch or a mid day workout, but not today.  Monday is the start of three days worth of meetings that I have to co-ordinating for our agency.  We did the walk through earlier this week on the major topics and ever since then it’s been almost crisis mode around here as the players keep chaning their products.

Now, at the last minute I’m being jerked over to our “other building” for a two hour mandatory briefing on how not to offend people.  Like I need that crap in my life.  Why not just shove a hot poker up my ass?  It’s not like I’m going to be here late tonight changing out slides in the presentation books anyway.

Man, do I love working for the guvmint!

I suffered through a bag of microwave popcorn for lunch today. Normally that’s not a big deal when I have a ton of work and pretty much skip lunch. But man after all the talk of great burgers yesterday, it killed me to do it today. Then to add to the torture, I get a picture of this in my mailbox.

This thing is a MONSTOSITY! It’s like a heart attack you can hold in your hand. There’s an urban legend surronding this cholesterol bomb that you can read more about it here, because I just don’t have the heart to type more about it.

Todd, as much as I loved Huey’s back in the day, it is not the same now. The original location is still there, but now the joint has turned almost into a chain and they have locations in places that are too good to house a Huey’s. I mean this was the place that was cool with you writing on the walls, shooting toothpicks into the ceiling with straws, and slow dancing under the tables. Now they’ve cleaned their act up and it’s turned into a family joint. And the rock bands are gone on the weekends, replaced by new age hippie folk music.

How can a college town survive with no Krystal’s Freak? There must be some kind of law about that. Still, a backwater burg getting a Sonic is big news. Do they have a walk up window there too? I saw one of those in Virginia Beach last year and nearly fell out laughing.

Damn, I’m hungry now.

These jerks are breaking the first rule of Fight Club, don’t tell anyone about Fight Club. Tyler Durden is going to be pissed. Maybe even pissed off enough to blow up their apartments.

What is the big deal about this anyway? Humans have always been drawn to fights, men more so than women. It’s why we men are always watching boxing, UFC, pro wrestling, and other contact sports. We like to see men beat each other up.

It’s one of the reasons that boys will always play with guns. Even if there are no toy guns in the house to play with, they will find something to use to “shoot” each other. Cavemen had the same thing going on back then, only it was spears instead of pistols.

If this is video clips of friend fighting friends, with no one being seriously hurt, then leave them the fuck alone. If it’s random clips of fights that occured in front of someone with a video device then it is no worse than the network newscast showing Rodney King getting his ass kicked twelve hundred times.

This is the same issue as violence on television. Parents still have the responsibility to monitor what their kids are watching. Don’t like what’s on TV, then turn it off and use the parental block feature on your cable box. Don’t like what on the Internet, get filtering software and put it on the kid’s computer. And if you are really pissed about fight clips on YouTube, then go find Al Gore and kick his ass. He discovered the Internet so this is all really his fault anyway.
