@13: “Chuck” is a great show on NBC on Monday nights at 8 that nobody watches and everybody should. It’s dramedy about an underachiever who works at a place called Buy More (Best Buy in disguise). Through a series of events he manages to get the entire database of the CIA, NSA and every other secret organization downloaded into his brain. He ends up being an amateur spy working with a guy from the NSA and a hot chick from the CIA. There is plenty of comic relief, particularly among his Buy More colleagues.

Nalts, you left out “The guy who feels inclined to poorly quote and reenact an entire movie, despite your showing signs that you don’t give a crap” in the second paragraph. You also left out “Renetto”.

“5. I like to eat stamp collections but not collectors.”

There’s a 99.9 % chance I said “WTH does that mean, Biznatch?” and a .1% chance I didn’t.

Hmmm.

@3 and @4 – yeah, frist. bill frist. whatever. I am way too cool to write “first!” when I’m the first one to comment on a video.

Actually I had nothing to say, but Marilyn has already trademarked “I got nuthin’.”

Here’s the biggest reason:

The worse things get, the more people need a distraction.

@4 What the hell is Chuck?
@10 Sukatra- screw the Secret. We’re all doomed.
@12 Dang Rey- you were so close to going somewhere. I think you need to get more baked and finish. Can you make the end happy? Like the stupid marketing major ends up getting minced for hot dogs, thus reducing his dad’s cost-of-goods-sold by 81%?

There was an old man who opened a Hot Dog Stand at a young age and had raised two children putting them both through college.

His youngest a Marketing Major was visiting his Dad, he noticed his Dad was advertising in the local paper, and had signs on every street corner directing traffic to his SPECIAL of the DAY! 2 for 1 Hot Dogs!

He asked his Dad “How can you afford to advertise, and give away you’re hot dogs, Dad, we are in a recession!” So, the old man admiring his college educated son, stopped all his advertising, after all if he said we are in a recession we must be, he went to college he knows!

Then old man, stopped promoting specials and stuck to the menu prices, within a few weeks his business was very very bad, he shook his head and thought to himself; wow my son knew he was so smart.

He sat there one day contemplating closing his business, the business that allowed him to raise two children and put them through college….

Deciding to close, he shook his head and remembered his son’s words, we are in the middle of a recession, and again he smiled admiringly at how smart his son is.

Look I am really baked at the moment, and awfully buzzed on quad shots of espresso, so I can only hope this makes sense and is pertinent!
