People who bash sports are people who had asthma and poor posture as a child. They resent people that have multiple talents because the quarterback fucked the girl they were too much of a chickenshit to talk to.
Let out my elitist self?
I’m better than all you dumb fuckers!
Hamburgers are, at best, a very mediocre food, and corn-fed beef sucks. The only reason Americans put up with either is that we grew up with them, just like how you watch the Discovery channel and see weird people eating things that are gross and taste awful.
Hamburgers are our grubs. We just don’t see it for what it is.
There, I’ve said it.
I kind of thought this too, and then I went to my college buddy’s farm (he of the double major [music performance and music education] and the master’s degree [database management, later]), and then I discovered that some of these wheat jockeys were some of the best informed people I’d met, because of their time in the reaper listening to talk radio.
Really, in this age, actual travel is necessary to be informed?

Maybe proving that what we value we do so at the extreme and at the expense of most everyone.
Call yourselves elitist? Burger bars? Tech support? Pshaw.
Ladies and gentlemen, I turned down a good deal on some caviar yesterday because it was lumpfish not sturgeon.
Now that’s elitist.
I was once in a private mental facility where I ordered only roast black swan for meals.
Black swan? Psssht. When I’m convalescing in the Hamptons, it’s considered gauche to eat anything other than white swan. That’s the old money way. Poseur.
If you don’t understand that Jack in the Box is a regional chain located in the southern and western states, then get used to people asking you what the heck a “double Jumbo Jack” is.
Oh, that is just rowlocks!
I don’t buy food from fuckin’ clowns. In or out of boxes, under golden arches, or anywhere else.
And what did they end up serving you?
Deep fry!
One step above elitist.
If you’ve never published an article or letter in a major newspaper you are utterly ignorant. Next time you are in Starbucks and try to attempt conversation from The New York Times, be sure that your name is printed in said paper. Otherwise, I’ll ignore you.
If you can’t tell me what politics is, then you are hopelessly lost.
If you haven’t been quoted in a major newspaper, you’re a total loser.
You’re also a total loser if you write, “Your a total loser.”
Web design elitism:
If you have to resort to table layouts, you’re pathetic. Spend some time learning CSS.
If you call yourself a ‘Web Designer’ it means you took one class in college learning Dreamweaver as part of you graphic design curriculum.
Hey, you with the degree in communications! You’re building a website, not a brochure.
Call me after you’ve learned ASP, PHP, JSP, Javascript, and XML / XSL; I don’t give a fuck that you’ve got a degree in math.
There is no god but Tufte and Nielsen is his only prophet.
Such as? I don’t know what people expect sometimes. When I worked in a restaurant I absolutely hated when people asked me to “tell them about” items that are already explained in pretty thorough detail on the menu. There’s really not much more to it than that. I’ll even admit a couple of times I would just glance down and read off what was already in front of them.
Nielsen is a Johnny-come-lately.
The true elite know that giving a shit about what may be considered gauche is for little people.
I thought an oarlock on a boat looked like this.
