@DEALBREAKERblog: We brought the 7 layer dip.
This.
Same level of irritation when people make a big show of “not caring” about the Canucks (or whatever sport/home team you’re into). It’s not “oh, I’m not into hockey” or “I’m too busy with other things to pay attention” or “it’s not my thing”, it’s more a smug proclamation, the same sort of elitist air when people brag about how “they don’t do TV”.
I’m not into watching conventional television simply because I just can’t do commercial after commercial anymore. It’s been a year or two since I had cable and over the Christmas holidays I tried to watch tv and I was in awe of what a fucking insane place it is. There’s just so much ridiculous shit that you can buy that I had no idea about. The shake weight? have you SEEN that thing? It makes you look like you’re jerking off into the air. WHY WOULD YOU BUY IT? I guess if you don’t mind looking like a total idiot in your own house that’s fine but if I saw my roommate doing that I would get the fuck out. I’ve also never really invested any time during my life into a sports team except once in 1993-94 for the Canucks, and we’re all aware of how great that one turned out! Overall I just find Baseball boring as fuck, Hockey is pretty alright ( I have to watch it alone because I’m not a players Almanac and I hate getting that elitist look from those who watch sports regularly who give me the cold ” UGGGHH N00B” look anytime I ask who so and so is) Football is way too long for what it is, I love Basketball but am not about to go pay money to sit in a bar to watch it. I feel like it’s less of an elitist thing and more of a I just would rather read or do ‘x’ with my time instead (where ‘x’ is an infinite black hole called youtube.)
