A MESSAGE TO ALL RE-GIFTERS

When re-gifting, make sure there is not a personalized message to you, the re-gifter, on the gift being re-gifted. Re-gifting is all well and good, but when the re-giftee knows that her gift a re-gift due to the personalized message to the re-gifter...it makes the re-giftee feel a tad bit un-special and it makes the re-gifter look a tad bit tacky and cheap.

Just a thought….

I WORK WITH A CONSTIPATED CARTOON


Someone in the office adjacent to mine laughs like this:

"Heeheeheeheehee."

Like, that ACTUAL sound. Heeheeheehee.

All high pitched and strained. Like a cartoon that's been smoking. On the toilet. Heeheeheehee.


It’s infuriating.

ET TU GWYNETH (PART DEUX)

The Gwyneth stuff from the other day was fabricated apparently, but this is (said to be) a real quote:

To Toronto's Globe & Mail in September 2005: "I've always been drawn to Europe. America is such a young country, with an adolescent swagger about it. But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe. And it's a strange time to be an American now."*

Same kind of idea, but not as obnoxious. My apologies.

ET TU GWYNETH?

Ok…I’m a total anglophile, I’ll admit…but to say the English are MORE INTELLIGENT? Um…no.

"I love the English lifestyle, it's not as capitalistic as America. People don't talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner. I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans."- Gwyneth Paltrow

Not talking about money at dinner does not intelligent make. It just means that they…don’t talk about money at dinner. They may act more snobby…er…civilized…but that also doesn’t equal intelligence. Look at Mike Judge…he’s crass as all get out…and BRILLIANT, as is John Waters and David Sedaris…and of course the writers of this blog!

Sigh…Gwyneth Gwyneth…do not turn your back on your countrymen.
