Sure – until they come up with 400 ways to break down and you lose all your customers. Thanks, tech geniuses! There is always a way to get what you want. ---

Cop the overweening sense of entitlement of the wannabe. Ends don’t merely justify the means, they are the means and bugger everybody and everything else. The sort of person who’d burn the universe so as to get chicken salt on their chips. I prefer Toy Story to A Bugs Life. ---

You’ve got to be kidding me! Toy Story was so damn fake—who ever heard of talking toys? Bugs, on the other hand, are real, lead very complex lives, and have to deal with life and death struggles on a daily basis. Do you think it’s easy rolling a ball of shit around all day while bigger bugs bully you, and birds (and pretty much everything else) try to eat you? And speaking of real, why don’t you stop watching friggin’ cartoons and join the adult world? The sunset was so beautiful last evening. ---

Jeez. I worked from 2 to 9 last night. Do you think I even got a chance to see that beautiful sunset? I did take a nice snow walk yesterday morning. ---

Really? A year before I was even born, my father was attacked and killed by a polar bear while taking “a nice snow walk”. Neither me nor any of my kid brothers got to even meet him! But I guess you don’t care about any of that when writing your callous, insensitive comments. I don’t particularly care for Christmas movies. ---

What kind of a cold, heartless Scrooge are you? Christmas movies warm the soul and anyone who doesn’t like them can go live in a mountain cave with the Grinch. I sure wish it would quit raining. ---

Happy? Get real! Some of us are more concerned with the poor starving refugees from all the conflicts and disasters taking place around the world than being happy you selfish twit. We’ll be on a Caribbean cruise this Christmas. ---

I bet you yelled at the poor girl behind the counter making $8.35 an hour because the cup didn’t say “Merry Christmas”, didn’t you? I think I’ll watch a wrestling match. ---

I have to admit that I watched wrestling between the ages of ten and ten years and one day, but could there be anything sadder than an adult watching such dribble? I mean other than voting for Trump, which you probably did as well. Sad. My dogs had a really great time at the park today. ---

Did the dogs really have a choice? I’m guessing you wanted to go to the park. Maybe the dogs would’ve been content chilling out at home. Stop your self indulgent selfish behaviors, it’s really not attractive. I’m making chicken noodle soup. ---

Gee, that’s original. You’re making a pot full of apathy there. If you can’t be bothered to try something new, that’s your business but don’t mention it here thinking anyone will be impressed. I just told my boss to go do something biologically improbable. ---

That’s the problem with people today. No respect for their superiors. I hope you’re happy to be contributing to the downfall of Western society. I don’t normally watch the NFL, but the Steelers-Patriots game yesterday was a good one. ---

What kind of ninny pays for food that’s mostly air? Like they say: “A fool and his money are soon parted.” And pepperoni, really? Do you have any idea how many poor abused pigs have to give there lives just to fill one single casing with your precious pepperoni? 70 to 75, my friend, 70 to friggin’ 75. I think cobalt blue and silver are a very pretty in combination.
