If you ever wanted proof that we evolved from a lower species, just observe most bachelor parties. There's something about them that activates the neanderthal gene in guys. I was at a local establishment last weekend and a bachelor party came in. Drunken, stupid assholes, every last one of them. There used to be a time where a bachelor party was simply a "last hoorah" for a soon to be groom to have one last night out with his buddies before getting married. Not anymore. Now, it's just an excuse to get drunk, act like morons, and try to get laid one last time as a "free man". C'mon, you're about to get married and yet you feel the need to cheat on her and use the party as a reason/excuse? If you can't keep it in your pants 2 weeks before your wedding, what makes you think you'll be able to do it after you're married? The last bachelor party I went to was pretty tame, went to a baseball game and out for a few beers, no acting the fool, no drunken orgy, just friends getting together to celebrate another's good fortune. If I owned a bar or night club, there'd be NO WAY I'd let a big bachelor party into my establishment no matter how much they might spend, the only things they do are get hammered, chase off the women, and cause problems....

Harley Assholes
It just amazes me the transformation that takes place when a guy buys a Harley. A minority suddenly become the leather guy from the Village People and decide that several cows must die so they can have all their neat leather "biker wear". The rest do the wife beater, doo rag, ripped jeans, and forget to shower thing. These guys are the worst. They buy their Harley and suddenly they're a "tough guy, bad ass biker". Hey, if you're a member of a bike "club", then you can make that argument, but when the greeter at Walmart tries it, it becomes a joke.
Besides that, has anyone else noticed that these same guys become assholes on the road as well? They just cruise along about 5 mph under the limit in groups holding up traffic behind them. Maybe it's a need to drive slow enough for everyone to notice how "cool" they are because they're riding a Harley. Maybe it's that because they're on a Harley, it's somehow a license to act like an asshole.
Then there's the loud pipes. Is it really necessary to "rev your engine" and tell the world "hey, I've got a Harley" at 1 in the morning? Never mind the people who are trying to sleep, you've got to show off and prove what a "man" you are? I won't even get into the fact that when one rides a Harley, the rules of the road apply to other people. And they wonder why riders get killed?
Hey, if you're in one of those well know "bike clubs", this isn't about you. Those guys live, breathe, and sleep the lifestyle and usually don't cause problems, it's the wanna-be's that need to be slapped....

And you wonder why there's road rage....
It just amazes me how many stupid people there are out on the roads these days. Road rage has nothing to do with angry people that drive, rather drivers who are made angry by the stupidity they must face on a daily basis. Here's a few examples.
1) The people who are obviously lost and decide that rather than pull over and figure out where they're going would rather just slow way down and stall traffic. Pull over and ask directions for Christ sake, don't back everyone else up just because you can't ask directions.
2) People who wait in the middle of the street for someone to back out of a parking spot. They see someone going to their car and simply wait in the middle of the lane for them to back out. Doesn't matter if it's 5 minutes, they'll keep on waiting. In the mean time, traffic is backed up and people are missing light changes because no one's moving. Fuck you, just because you don't want to walk doesn't mean I should suffer for it.
3) Mr. and Mrs "let's go a few miles under the speed limit just to be safe". If you can't keep up with traffic, either pull off and let people who actually have somewhere to go get by or take the back roads. You might think you're being safe, but you're more likely to cause an accident than someone speeding. I drive fast, if you don't, get the hell out of my way.

Movie Etiquette
I was at the movies the other day and I couldn't believe the amount of clueless people that were there. Is it just me or does it seem that lately people have no concept of courtesy to the other people trying to watch the movie. Here's a list of the things people do that really pisses me off.
1)The Hell in the Cell. You know these people, they can't seem to put their damn cell phone down for more than 5 minutes. It's either calling or texting on a regular basis while the movie is showing. Not only is it irritating, it's rude. Here's a clue, unless you're a trauma surgeon or President Obama has you on speed dial for national security issues, you're NOT THAT IMPORTANT! Turn the damn thing off, it's only 2 hours for Christ's sake.
2)The Chatty Cathy. Nothing like a good conversation during a movie to totally ruin it. I don't know about you, but I spent good money to SEE THE MOVIE, not listen to you talk away. Shut the F**k up.
3)The Space Invader. The theater sits 300 people and there's only 25 or so there. So what happens, some idiot sits right in front of you, right behind you, or right next to you. What, not enough available seats? Not only is it irritating, it's more than a bit creepy as well. Unless it's crowded, let's try and leave a row between everyone, it's not much to ask.
4)The Talk Show Host. You're really into a movie, and some douchebag feels the need to discuss and comment on every single thing that happens. I don't care that landing on an asteroid to blow it up isn't realistic, neither is halflings from middle earth fighting a dark force. Guess what, IT'S A MOVIE, lighten up Francis.
5)The Jack Rabbit. This is the guy that comes in carrying the 5 gallon bucket of Coke and has to sit in the middle of the aisle. The next 2 hours he spends either running to the concession stand or to the bathroom. Up and down, up and down, in and out, in and out, each time requiring you to get up from your seat so he can get by. If you baldder's that weak, perhaps the small Coke will work.
Just a few things for thought. Please don't be one of these morons....

F**king Facebook
This whole Facebook thing really pisses me off. All of these people who spend hours on Facebook? Really? All these people who sit around and talk about (use your best geek voice) how they were playing with their Mafia Wars Ap when one of their 500 friends IM'd them. Give me a break. Makes me wonder if there's really this renaissance of individuals wanting to "connect" with people from their past or is it simply another example of a bunch of mindless sheeple wanting to be part of the latest "hip", "cool" thing? I mean c'mon, do you think anyone really cares about your "status" or "mood"? My guess is that it has more to do with being able to be part of the "in crowd" than it does reconnecting. Kinda reminds me or Cub fans, not really caring about baseball, but hey, they're part of the "cool people" so let's buy a Fukodome jersey and head out to Wrigley. Hey, if someone really wants to get ahold of me that I haven't seen in years, it's not that tough, my parents have lived at the same address with the same phone number for over 40 years, just give them a call and they'll let me know you're looking for me. We can only hope this "trend" goes the way of the pet rock......
