cranky

Coffeemaker broke this AM. What is that stupid new thing on the side of baseball hats? Why is the MTA selling $7 Metrocards for $2 rides? And where the hell is spring??

crocs

Why couldn't I have thought of Crocs??

knot funny

How does a headphone cord, carefully wrapped and tucked in a side pocket of the gym bag, become a tangled mess?? Please explain.

better and worse

As I curse RoadRunner for almost complete imcompetence, I do take a breath and remind me that some things are better. Like cat litter. Really. It's so much better and not disgusting. Clumping technology indeed. Good reading over your coffee? Sorry!

high octane

Let's see.  Twenty shots of espresso, or watch Jim Cramer?  Espresso!!

sick of Colts-Pats

Oy I'm so sick of the build-up to this game. I'd like it just to be over already, or let it end tied after 25 overtimes. Would drive the talking heads crazy!!

awesome...not

I'm pretty sick of hearing of 'banana muffins' as being "awesome," or "awesome" as the reply to everything from 'see you later' to 'how was your weekend?'  World peace would be awesome. The rest of it is not.

stop with the grunting!

Tennis is NOT that hard and I think it's an obnoxious trick by spoiled kids who grow up to be annoying adult grunters!

have them stop!

If I hear the guys on ESPN say "winner, winner, chicken dinner" one more time, I'm going to scream.

safe to channel surf again

Who's Now is Now Over on ESPN!!!
