Lists, Memes and Other Pointless (but fun) Crap

I wrote this awhile back and forgot to post it. Here ya go:
Everyone in the blogosphere likes to post lists, photo shopped pictures, or those meme things. Meme is a fancy word for pain in the ass writing assignment, usually about inane shit. Photo shopping is a fancy term for taking a boring picture and attempting to make it funny by adding stuff, using specialty software. List is a fancy word for...items lined up, vertically, in a row. Okay, now that we've cleared that up, I have a confession: I do not have photo shopping software and nobody likes me enough to pass a meme to me. So I have to resort to the primitive task of list making. Here is a list of my Tuesday Twelve, "Things You Will Never Hear In My House:"

  1. "What are we going to do with all of this ____ (time, money, laundry detergent)?"
  2. A pin drop.
  3. Any sentence with the word "please" attached to it.
  4. "Here, Mom, let me help you."
  5. A condom being opened (not by the adults, anyway.)
  6. The sound of tofu being consumed. Nasty.
  7. "The Wiggles" CD
  8. The clicking of knitting needles. I can think of 501 other activities I'd rather do, including having my toe nails ripped off. (no offense to those of you who knit.)
  9. A sigh of boredom, relaxation or meditative exercise.
  10. The hiss of a snake. I will not allow snakes for pets...ever.
  11. The cry of a newborn (unless it belongs to a visitor.)
  12. Anything to do with Oprah Winfrey.

*GASP*! I thought I (pronounced eyyyye) was the only one who didn't like Oprah!! Some day, I'm going to find footage of Kathy Griffin talking about Oprah's God Complex and post it on my blog.

Your not an oprah cult follower good for you. Also thank you for not having those terrible wiggles richer.

So...no condoms and no newborns. Hope you have a back-up plan. ;)

Yes. It's called sterilzation.
