do you ever get those on-line questionaires or parables that say at the end ‘send this to 5 people and you will get your wishes’?
aren’t they annoying?
here’s why they’re annoying:
cos if you don’t send them(which i never have, being a curmudgeon)you have that nagging voice in the back of your head saying, ‘if you’d only sent it you’d get such-and-such wish, mr. curmudgeon’.
and if you do send them(hypothetically, as i never have)you feel like you’re sending out something that someone will probably be annoyed by.
they’re like spiritual ponzi schemes.
isn’t that what destroyed the albanian economy?
ok, so think of this the next time you’re tempted to send out one of these ‘send to 5 people’ emails:
you could be responsible for the destruction of the albanian economy in a non-literal, figurative sense.
how about that?
not so quick with the ‘send’ button are you now?
i think that kale and broccoli are foods that, if eaten every day, will keep you alive for 200 years.
sorry, that was a non-sequitur.
do you think that if our ancient ancestors tried on a pair of new socks that they would just start weeping with joy?
there are few things better than putting on a pair of new socks.
if i ever developed a cribs-style rich-guy quirk it would be to wear new socks every day.
but i won’t. and i don’t.
cos then maybe i wouldn’t enjoy it as much when i do get to wear new socks.
this, too, is a non-sequitur.
if you learn how to spell ‘non-sequitur’ you will impress your friends.
i know that i’m a scrabble nerd, cos yesterday someone mentioned the movie ‘a.i’ and i thought ‘2 letter word, tree sloth’.
it’s 60 degrees in nyc today.
i wonder if we’ll have to show pictures of frozen lakes to our progeny?
