A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney and My Dad.

A Few Minutes With  Andy Rooney And My Dad


Putting aside the genetically pre-disposed Black Irish charm; (not unlike our second cousins the Draculs - only cheerier, less benign and replace the blood lust for all things Erin Burnett. Oh, and you're going to need a bigger wooden stake.): I had absolutely nothing in common with my father - except Andy Rooney.

It was a small but nice little connection that I've grown to appreciate more as I get older, fatter, more powerful and subsequently creepier with the gingered haired cashier at my Super Duper, whom (if my wife would just loosen up a bit) I'm pretty sure would so complete me.

I was, may I pre-face 'appropriately' so f*** you, dismissive when the BOB generation had to wipe their tears ("What are these liquid secretions coming from my seeing parts?") from their icrap stuff over Steve Jobs but I'll miss Andy Rooney. Oh, Erin Burnett. I love you but I knew Andy Rooney, Andy Rooney was a friend of mine - and deep dish, you are no Andy Rooney. (Not that you ever said you were.) 

In tribute, I'm not shaving my eyebrows during the month of August and, I know it's cutesy, but I'll be referring to that month in future hand written post-its of import as....August. (I'm kidding. I don't post-its.) 

God bless, you ol' fart. Both of you.

On Sloan and Getting The F*** Off My Lawn!

On Sloan and Getting The F*** Off My Lawn





I love this song and I know this is supposed to mock the early 80's 'friday night videos' format of "let's conceptualize a narrative around this song" because "the kids like that" disconnect of the soon to be MTV gen. However, there is one thing I take issue with.  There is nothing f***ing funny about referring to the 80's in an old timey kitchy way. Just because we did it with Happy Days and the Beatles, do you think we are going to let you do that to us!?

The first rule of 'Fight Club'? YOU DO NOT - TALK ABOUT - THE 80's - IN AN OLD TIMEY KITCHY WAY! We will never retire. We will never let you own anything. We are selfish baby boomers! We will run things until we die and even then we will have left things in such a mess it will take generations to come back to what was. 

What part of 'new lost generation' do you people not get! Just give us our grand kids and go play with your icrap all ready! Geesh!  

Aww! I just pooped my pants again. NURSE!
