Golf Nazi

I'm no grammar Nazi, but sometimes I wish I were. Especially on Facebook.

For instance, there seems to be a lot of confusion about to/too/two, your/you're, its/it's, or any spelling error that Firefox is generous enough to point out.

When I see a sentence such as,

"Hey bro.. golf is a great hobbie but it can be very frustrating as well.. its the thoughest game in the world by far!"

I want to go in and make a comment pointing out their idiocy. Well, idiocy and point of view. Golf? Really? Has he tried every sport in the world? Because I'm pretty sure all of the dead gladiators would disagree. Pff... golf...

Pretty sure my comment would end up something like this, which is why I don't say a thing,

"Hey bro... grammar is a great hobby but it can be very frustrating as well. It's the toughest thing you have to encounter after a hard day of working at Taco Bell!"

Free Stuff Sucks

Listening to a mediocre CD I received for free, it hit me... People love free things, no matter how shitty the thing is!

Think about it... remember getting pharmacy pens, your first AOL CD, non-profit envelopes stuffed with return-address label stickers [wrong name/address, of course], mouse pads, candy from a stranger, etc.? You were excited when someone handed it to you, or when it came in the mail, but five minutes later you'd already forgotten about it.

Free stuff is exciting until you realize why it was free. Let's be honest, who the hell wants a mousepad with "Say NO to drugs" scrawled on it? No one.
