1. Wearing dress shoes without socks. I mean, I don’t even like wearing sneakers without socks, I can’t even imagine what an uncomfortable shoe feels like. And do guys really think it looks that stylish that they’re willing to put up with the discomfort?
2. Wearing dress shirts without an undershirt. Unless you have the body of an olympian of course, which I’m sorry, but you don’t.
3. Why Saturdays and Sundays are combined on desk calendars (except my awesome Dilbert one, thank you very much). Yes, I realize most people keep theirs on their work desk, but wouldn’t Mondays be that much more tolerable if you had one more day to peel?
4. What Edward and Jacob find so appealing about Bella. My friend Meredith said she wants a scene in the next movie where they are forced to sit down and answer the question “What do you like about Bella?” Um, because I love the, um, way she makes me look in comparison?
5. How Twitter makes money.
6. How someone can say “It’s really lucky I got this job.” with a straight face when their dad is a high up executive at the same company and the position was basically made up for them.
7. Why M. Night Shyamalan would change the pronunciation of names in The Last Airbender. Like, I get how some changes need to be made to change from a book or television show into a movie, but the pronunciation of established names makes no sense. And no, I still haven’t seen it, but I heard all about it.
8. How every door in the house becomes infinitely squeaky when you’re trying to be quiet.
9. How I’m supposed to see Inception, Predators, and Sorcerer’s Apprentice all in one weekend. Okay I probably won’t, but I do want to see them all. And yeah, I still kinda want to see The Last Airbender too even though everyone says it awful. Must…resist…
10. Why Geordi and Worf both wore red uniforms in the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, then got promotions and started wearing green uniforms. Yet, Picard and Riker wear red uniforms, so why would the order of uniform rank go from red, green, to red again? And just to make it more confusing, green was the higher rank in the original Star Trek. I’m confuzzled.
I thought Geordi and Worf’s uniforms were yellow.
1. I rarely wear socks in summer but I wear sneakers as often as possible, even to work. Today is red converse. No clue on the guy thing. Sometimes you have to suffer to be fashionable. It’s just the way the world works.
2. Never really noticed. I’ve never really understood why shirts are made that necessitate wearing another shirt underneath. Just make the fabric thicker.
3. I only have a Puntabulous calendar at work so I can stare the gorgeous mugs of the Puntabupeeps all day, so no comment.
4. Huh.
5. No clue.
6. Idjit
7. Umm. Yeah. I don’t know.
8. Start carrying WD-40 with you at all times and spritz door hinges before opening.
9. If you plan it you could probably see all three back to back at a cineplex somewhere. Dare ya.
10. I thought shirt color was based on skin tone, you know summers, winters, falls. *shrug*
4. Perhaps Bella is like the ball the other kid started playing with. As soon as one wins, he’ll ask himself, “What the fuck was I thinking?!” Or maybe because they are being controlled by an evil alien influence who is bitter because she doesn’t have guys fighting over her.
5. They are making some money from the promoted tweets, but I think they are still working on a revenue model.
9. Arrange to see each movie one after the other, probably with a different friend each time. Or if you want to make it more sitcomy, a different date each time.
I don’t get Twilight either… I’ve tried, but I just can’t. I don’t like shoes without socks either, icky!
I think you are getting your Greens and Yellows confused… check he color and tint settings on your TV… The color of the uniform reflects department/funtion and is independant of rank similar to the different colors worn on the flight deck of modern day aircraft carriers. Yes, in the next generation the reds and yellows are (science/medical).
not sure why my comment got mangled… the last bit of it should read:
Yes, in the next generation the reds and yellows are switched red = command and yellow = engineering/technical while blue is still the same (science/medical).
Yellow is also security.
1. Ugh, I can’t stand wearing shoes without socks; my feet sweat too much and just become uncomfortable.
2. Actually, I don’t like wearing under shirts unless the dress shirt is so thin that you can see through the fabric; Luckily with my current job I can pretty much wear polos all the time so I don’t have to worry about it.
3. Dunno, I tend to forget to change the day on my desk calendar which is currently telling me today is May 16, 2009
4. Ugh, don’ t get me started
5. I don’t think they do make any money
6. But the interview was so tough; I actually had to promise I would show up at least twice a week and take my sister to the mall.
7. ‘Cause he is a douche
8. That is why I use the window.
9. See Tams comment
10. See Adams comments
1. Wearing shoes without socks is disgusting. The hair on your feet and toes sticks to the leather in the shoes and there is all that chafing. Nasty.
2. NEVER wear a dress shirt without a t-shirt. I actually will wear one under polos and colored t’s as well. Nothing worse than pitting. I’m not sure what it has to do with not having the body of an Olympian though?
3. I hate desk calendars,they are always in the way. My suspicion is that it reduces the amount of paper used and therefore lowers costs?
4. While Kristen Stewart isn’t completely tragic, the character is, so I don’t get it either.
5. Dunno.
6. Ah nepotism, the savior of the talentless spoiled brat.
7. I wondered that myself. “Ong” “SO-ka” Horrendous. I really wish he had only directed and not written the screenplay.
8. In my house it was the squeaky stairs.
9. Wait for Airbender to come out on video.
10. See Adam’s comment.
Cupcake: “Or if you want to make it more sitcomy, a different date each time.” Best comment ever!
Well, Adam basically covered the colors question. But I’ll add on..
I wear dress shirts about half the time and I never wear an undershirt. I also do not have the body of an Olympian, granted, I also usually have all but the top most button done up. I don’t like undershirts though. Too many clothes are a bad thing.
As to the shoes, it certainly does look better without socks, in my opioion. I, however, do not like wearing enclosed footwear without socks, because I find me feet get uncomfortable. When I wear shoes and shorts, I always wear those extra short socks, so that it looks as nice as possible. But if you’re asking if people regularly put up with discomfort for the sake of fashion, I need only point at high heels. Also, I’m sure that if you always wore shoes without socks, you’d get used to the sensation. I was admiring someone’s loafers ar bluesfest, and they looked quite pleasant without socks.
Do under shirts really make your body look better? I just don’t wear undershirts because it’s so hot when I do wear one, it’s like wearing more layers than necessary bleh. I too don’t understand how twitter makes money, it’s somehow self-sustaining.
I thought they were yellow uniforms, too.
Also, I thought Aang should have been pronounced “Ahng” and was surprised when they used the short “a” sound in the TV show. Never sounded quite right to me, established though it may be.
And yes, digkv, a properly-fitting undershirt – i.e., nice and snug – does help shape the torso a bit. It also helps to absorb sweat so your pit sweat doesn’t show quite as soon.
I love Bella. She makes me happy in my pants.
1. Shoes without socks………………….icky
2. I always wear an undershirt……………..sensitive nipples
3. What’s a desk calendar?
4. If I had a 100 year-old dick my standards would be low too
5. What’s Twitter?
6. I have one of those at my job, but his relative just resigned from the Board of Directors, so every time I see him I say “tick tock”
7. M. Night Shyamalan is a douchbag.
8. I live alone, so I don’t close any door.
9. Is there a rule that says you can only see one movie a day, and who enforces this rule?
10. I’ll just say sometimes when you get a promotion you get to wear a different color.
I rarely wear undershirts with dress shirts! I like being able to wear it tight and stick out my ribs so peepz feel the desire to feed me!
Um, I dont know what happened to the rest of my comment. I had a whole thing there about the colors of the uniforms and wearing t-shirts and crap. And teh Interwebs ate it instead of posting it. So um, yeah, that’s why my comment above doesn’t make much sense.
I just blame the Polt Chaos.
HUGS…
Inception was so brilliant and awesome! I’m highly recommending it.
1. It does look good, especially with loafers.
2. It does look good, unless your body looks awful and the shirt is very sheer. But if you wear an undershirt, make sure it doesn’t peek out at the neck. That looks bad.
3. Fortunately, I’ve never had to deal with this.
4. 5. 6. 7. 8. No comment
9. Plan very very meticulously.
10. There were never any green ones … are you colour blind, Craig? Anyway, red is for command. Every bridge officer who’s not security or operations wears red. Security and operations is yellow. Bluegreen is science/medical.
Bella is the only reason Jacob & Eddie R not yet doin’ that whole “Romeo&Juliet” [in this case "Rawr-eo&Bling-et"] thing. That girl is like a zombie, no spark whatsoever. ;D
I saw a trailer 2 “The Last Airbender” & it was like 1 of the worst trailers I have ever seen. If the movie is just as awful I’m now really considering staying away from it. ;P
Dress shoes without socks & dress shirts without undershirts R really… I can’t imagine it. My imagination literally ends right before that image. xD
I used to be soOoOoOo against shoes without socks, but I wore dress-y shoes dancing the other night and didn’t wear socks and had NO problems! FUN!
I also wear button-downs with no shirt underneath, but only when I go dancing. You gotta flash a little tummy when you put your hands up (’cause they’re playing your song and the butterflies fly awayyy).
How can you resist the last airbender?…don’t listen to the fools with bad websites
Craig, I *LOVED* Inception. Yes, the ending (I think you will agree when you see it) is predictable as hell. I quite literally knew what the last frame of the film was going to be from the moment where — hm I’ll spoil it if I finish that sentence. It’s like a cross between Memento and the Matrix — it’s a lot of fun, great soundtrack, and great special effects. Some people in the audience found it (unintentionally) funny but I thought it was a great ride.
I can’t believe you haven’t seen Airbender yet. I’m awaiting your review!!!!!!!!!!!
My answers/comments:
1. I agree on the shoes without socks thing *EXCEPT* that Europeans can pull it off. Good-looking, smug, arrogant Europeans. Who are douches. I can’t stand the feeling though.
2. I really didn’t need to know about how sensitive Paul’s nipples were. I almost never wear an undershirt. And my body is as anti-olympian as humanly possible. Yes, yes, John, you’re right. But honestly, unless it’s freezing-ass cold outside I’m not going to do it. Comfort before fashion. Oh, and I don’t get Craig’s comment about “olympian bodies” either: unless you are going to get your undershirt from Spanx® for men (aka “Man Spanx”) then what does an undershirt do to make your body look any better?
And who the *HELL* thought it would be a good idea to market a catalog to women with the name “SPANX”? Most women I know find the concept of a smack on the butt extremely demeaning and sexist. And leave me with painful bruises if I do it. I could understand marketing an S&M catalog with that name, but not a catalog for women’s undergarments.
3. Um, Craig, your iPhone has a calendar. And so does your computer.
4. Yes, Bella is intolerable, but I still don’t understand what the appeal is for Edward *OR* Alpaca-boy. I still maintain that Kellan Lutz and the guy who plays Bella’s dad are the only good-looking guys in the first 2 movies (haven’t seen the third yet).
5. *shrug*
6. Nepotism isn’t the only corrupt thing in corporate america. Executives are nothing more than a parasitical class that sits on top of corporations and suck them dry. They add nothing whatsoever and pretty much anything productive that their underlings manage to do is done DESPITE them and not BECAUSE of them. They think they can mix and match companies — going from running PepsiCo to Apple actually seems like a good idea to these people — and they are a closed system of an “old boy network” that give each other jobs — they appoint one another to boards of directors, they hire each other as VPs or what-not as they change from one job to the next. I’ve seen this happen over and over at several jobs — you get a new CEO, he brings in a whole new bunch of cronies, many of whom were people who he used to work for, and then he and his cronies move on and the process continues.
If investors really knew what went on inside corporations and how much waste and mismanagement there was, the entire capitalist system would collapse overnight.
7. “M. Night Shyamalan is a douchebag*”
8. Not just doors, but creaky floors, and of course,
9. Is there a rule that says you can only see one movie a day, and who enforces this rule?

8. Not just doors, but creaky floors, and of course, if you’re a dude, and pee standing up, trying to hit the porcelain instead of the water in the bowl is pretty tough especially if your’e half asleep. So. It’s pretty much hopeless, Craig.
9. SEE INCEPTION!!! Then see Airbender and WRITE A REVIEW ON BOTH!!!
10. Adam and Polt explained the color thing
Oh and let me just say that Nathan’s comment “Too many clothes are a bad thing” will make me actually cry like a baby if he doesn’t make it to the pool party
