Why America Is Destined To Fail


I was skipping through a field of epissy this morning and was amazed at the number of people referencing Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl II.
For those of you not "in the know" this program is 3 hours of puppies playing. It was run before, during, and after the Super Bowl.
What the fuck is wrong with America? No wonder people hate us so much; it's hard to empathize with a nation who would stare at the most intellectually void pablum for hours on end. Fuck, even I want to attack us. This is nothing more than a Hallmark Card bowel movement, and I can't see anyone other than Jean Teasdale even tolerating this crap for more than a microsecond...
-um, well-
So, I was watching Puppy Bowl II last night, after the game, when I realized two things:
1) Puppies are cute.
2) I'm really fucking smashed, and my living room seems to be spinning at unsafe speeds.
Yeah, it got me for about a half-hour. I blame it on my party guests' unwillingness to do lemon Jello shots, thus leaving me with about a dozen (left-over) liquor filled treats to kill. That and the insane amounts of beer.
Today, I'm stuck at work with a Bukowski-worthy hang over, and a sense of liquor induced puppy shame that just won't go away. I think that I'm gonna have to watch "The Sorrow and the Pity" tonight as a penance for my indiscretions. I suggest you all do the same. And, I'll see you all at "Puppy Bowl III" next year. I'll bring the Jello shots.

Josh, thank you for confessing to watching the puppies. As you may know, I too was drawn in by the black hole of cuteness that is the Puppy Bowl. If it weren't for my indifference to the kittens on the halftime show, I may have never escaped. You have validated my inner soccer mom.

Hope the hangover is subsiding. I reach for the vitamin water for relief. The one with all the B vitamins really helps.

oh, next time you make reference to a CB worthy hangover, give us a Wikipedia link to the man. He wrote a hell of a lot of books hung over.

Who am I kidding, I'm to lazy to write a book, I'm too lazy to post a link on my own blog.
