I Most Certainly Approve: Ruminations.com

My friend Jackie recently sent me an email with the "All Time Best" pieces of wisdom from our generation according to the website Ruminations.com.

I was just getting ready to get some dinner. However, as soon as I got the email, I basically sat at my computer screen and laughed for about thirty-five minutes instead of eating. And now instead of eating, I'm writing a blog post about it.

If you haven't seen the website, you should visit it now. People just post random thoughts and revelations that are totally relevant to the generation of us born in the 1970s and 1980s.

Here are a few of my favorites from the email Jackie sent me:
(Note: I've also taken the liberty of changing the font OUT of Comic Sans - whoever compiled this list should know that Comic Sans is definitely the worst font ever.)

1) The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.

2) Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQs. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.

3) I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.

4) That’s enough, Nickelback.

5) How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6) I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

7) Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

8) How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?

9) While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.

10) MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

11) If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

12) Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….

13) “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.

14) I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

15) Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

16) It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

17) I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I cannot stop laughing. I most certainly approve!
