Hey bands that break up only to get back together 3 months later,

Who in the fuck….do you think you are? Ohhh, it’s our last show…..come check it out…….buy our stuff……hugs and shit.

I hate to be the bringer of reality but, nobody cares. Most people were glad not to ever see your dumb faces again. You act like you guys had talent. I guess if by talent you mean stupid you are right.

We came out to your ridiculous shows in snow, rain, wind-chill warnings, black ice, Calcutta Clippers, tornado warnings, blizzard conditions and basically nights we had better shit to do.

We bought your t-shirts, your c.d.’s, we put your shitty oversized bumper stickers on our bumpers, we put your pins on our jackets only to eventual stab ourselves in the fucking sternum. We actually hated you and still do.

We read your 3rd grade reading level blogs and bulletins while wondering if we should correct this morons spalling or gremmer. Or, at least buy them that book “100 words that make you sound smarter” if only to make the reading more intellectual stimulating for us.

Some of us, on our own buck, even traveled half way across the midwest to see you stink it up in front of a whole new group of people. (by the way, we didn’t admit it to anybody, we said we were there for the drink special.)

So I guess you expect us to say “can’t wait for your first show at Club Underground opening for The Good Year Pimps September 12th show starts at 10 and we will be happy to pay the 8 bucks” or ” can’t wait to hear some more recordings so I can pay for it and then you put it up on your website for free a week later” or ” can’t wait to buy a new t-shirt but you don’t have my size so you will feed me a line of bullshit like “they run small” so this will work but it fits weird and I will never wear it. And it itches, what the fuck” or ” I have been here since 8:00 because that is what it said on myspace…..no big deal I guess” or “You guys fuck up alot, no, I mean alot, but it’s cool”.

Don’t hold your breathe Skullcranes. This time we are bringing the rubber chickens.

Damn, they are STILL working on this stretch of 94, what the fuck.
What movie do you guys wanna put in? I’m sick of all these movies. Why did you bring D.V.D’s? This is a VHS.
Fuck, there is no sound.
Can you turn the heat UP? Damn, who’s feet reek?
I don’t see what the big deal is.
Can you turn the heat down?
Shit, put it away, that was a cop.
Dude, were you speeding and can you turn the heat up?
What exit do we take? I thought you knew. Where is the map? It’s at the space, remember? We were looking at it to see how to get there.
Man, I gotta piss.
Who’s got the lighter?
Fuck me running Chief Brown Cloud!!! That’s really foul …good one!! Roll down the window please.
Hey, turn up the heat!!
You just missed the exit.
Thanks for telling me.

+++2 1/2 hours of pure silence+++

What hotel are we looking for?
Something with an eight or a six in the name.

There it is.
What time do we need to be at the club?

Fuck, that IS snow.

Hey woman on plane next to me with baby on lap,

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself. What type of smoke did your parents blow up your ass when you were young to give you this un-justified self worth?

#1- Your baby is fucking ugly.

#2- Your baby smells like shit.

#3- If your baby spits on me one more time I’m gonna spit back.

#4- I had to pay 40 bucks to check an extra piece of luggage, meanwhile, your little disease carrying shit machine gets a free ride.

#5- And the stewardess gives ME the fucking stink eye!

Hey Ryan Seacrest,

I don’t know what you look like, I don’t know where you came from, I don’t know how or who you are black-mailing and frankly, I don’t give a shit. However, I am really tired of hearing your name. What the fuck dude, take a vacation. The Superbowl? C’mon.

Ryan Seacrest does not even sound like a real name. Sounds more like a brand of douche.

Hey customer,

Listen to me closely. Don’t ever let anybody tell you that the customer is always right. That phrase happens to be one of the top five biggest fallacys of all mankind. You see, this phrase was developed in the early 20th century by a coalition of ultra-leftists and uber-utopians to help people like you feel better about yourself.  So next time you are at a chinese restaurant (by the way, thats not Chinese food, it’s shitty Americanized egg noodle dishes soaked in MSG and served to you by Asian-looking folks) and you think your egg drop soup tastes funny so you want to bitch at the poor Cambodian girl because you are some fucking Chinese food expert ( refer to earlier parenthesized fact) please remember, you are not at home.

Sincerely, The Management.

Hey weather,

Nice touch dangling that 40 degree day above our heads and watching us all get out of the house with smiles and not clinching our assholes and hunching our shoulders up over our ears creating future back problems. It must be fun watching us all run around like a bunch of happy cocaine rats right before you slap us in the side of the head with a little 40 below wind chill.

By the way, thanks for the gas bill.

Hey Johnson,

You should try remembering playing a show once.

Filed under: The Daily Diatribe — j @ 11:12 am

Close, but no cigar. It’s okay to cry, now, because that’s what good losers do. Eli Manly-man Manning done went and only slightly cracked opened a can of whup-ass, even though every close-up camera shot of him revealed a young man terrified out of his fucking mind. But forget about him; go retire and do an occasional cameo in a movie now and then, because you were brilliant in “There’s Something About Mary”.

Seriously.

Brilliant.

January 17th, 2008 Hey jackass who needs a bag,
Filed under: The Daily Diatribe — Johnson @ 5:22 pm

Hey jackass who needs a bag,

O.K. First of all, you totally look like a dick. True, you probably can’t help this much but, it is what it is, you look like a huge dick.

I just had an idea though. Maybe, now I’m just tossing it out there, maybe you could try to not act like a dick. Holy shit, I am smart as a whip. These ideas I come up with……….they might as well just call me “Walking Hawking”.

So, here we are again, huge line at the corner market. It takes you about 7 1/2 minutes to put your change in your pocket as your giant dick-like presence is in the way of anybody putting their goods on the counter. Then, you dick, you stare at the clerk for another minute then say “Can I have a bag please?” in a very smug fashion.

You have just purchased one pack of smokes, one can of Asshola Cola and one scratch off lotto ticket. You need a bag. Its 2 degrees out, you have 11 jackets on with a grand total of 25 pockets and you need a bag. Not only that, you expect the clerk to bag all of your items for you. I’m not sure what the clerk said underneath her breath because she can not speak good english good like I can, but, I’m pretty sure I agree with her.

Dick.
