First of all, this has been making the rounds on teh internets today, so odds are you've already seen it, but if you haven't, then you owe it to yourself to go check it out:

Katrina: The Gathering

Obviously, it's a lot more fun if you've ever played Magic: The Gathering, but if you haven't hopefully you'll be able to figure enough out to appreciate the humor. And does it make me a bad person that viewing this makes me yearn to play Magic again?

I find the memetic nature (in the Jungian sense,) of LJ friends lists fascinating. Every now and then you'll have a day where all the unrelated people on your friends list are facing the same problem. And I don't mean the generic ones everybody faces, I mean very specific problems. Today, it was rude women drivers in SUV's. Like I told kansaschica, people love to talk about men using their cars to overcompensate for penile deficiencies, but I seriously believe that penis envy is alive and well and that it exists and thrives in the form of small, rude women who drive their SUV's badly. I'm not kidding. Next time an SUV driver does something rude or downright stupid in traffic, look at them very closely. Odds are it will be a woman. Mind you, I'm not saying women are bad drivers. But I am saying that SUVs seem to attract a certain type of woman to drive them.

Went to A&A's tonight and the dogs had apparently eaten out of the liter box. If you've ever owned both dogs and cats at the same time, you might notice that dogs occasionally like to just chow down on what they find in the cat's litter box. This is something that really sickens and disgusts me and makes me wonder far, FAR more than things like the platypus and serial killers just WHAT God was thinking. This in turn made me wonder: Humankind disobeyed God's command not to seek the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and in turn were cursed forever with old age, violence, and the pain of pregnancy. Meanwhile, dogs are over here chowing down on cat shit. Kind of makes you wonder what they did, doesn't it?

Ever seen a dog who ate cow shit? Hehe, I have and I can tell you that his breath smelled like for weeks :-/

As for women drivers, I do have to say that they are worse drivers than men, in general terms. As for women driving big cars, I often think they're just driving their husband's car and don't know how to handle it. I always get pissed at drivers of big cars who can't handle it. Old people for instance, why can't they just buy themselves a nice little car with which they won't bump into others so easily, or with which nobody expects them to drive much faster. Gah! Hateful!

So old people drive huge cars they can't handle in Europe too? Man, I'd hoped that was just another peculiar Americanism :D A lot of women do own and drive SUV's over here, though. I don't see as many men driving them. Whosever they are, a lot of the women aren't very responsible with them.

I must get those cards! Where do I get them ;) That was too funny I like the instant for the Secretary of state, Put a 3/3 black token into play too funny.

Yeah why is it when I see people driving SUV's it is mostly woman. My personal opinion on woman drives I will just keep that to myself.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

The Secretary of State was a personal favorite of mine too! Actually I think all those cards were pretty spot-on. Except the Bill O'Reilly one, which doesn't portray him accurately at all.

[kbetol.livejournal.com]

LOL hell yeah now we have to find out where to get them.

I must have these cards!

Oh well what the hell my opinion I don't think anyone could portray Bill O'Riely other then him self. At least they tried, but yet I seem to think it was inaccurate as well.

i liked the Bill Clinton one. Tap target intern and take Bill Clinton out of play. or something like that. heh. I also liked Frickin' Alligators! and Sean Penn in a Leaky Boat. Sean Pen in a Leaky Boat made me laugh for a good while.

Harry Connick Jr. cracked me up too. "How the hell does Harry Connick Jr. rescue people before FEMA!?" hilarious. Or would be if it wasn't true.

Apparently, eating cat poop is kind of effcient

Dude!! I remember one of the directors from the community theater in Manhattan had a dog who did that. We were over at his house for a read thru and he was telling us about it. He said he asked the vet about it and the vet told him that there's stuff in cat poop that dogs can use. Like the cats don't need it but dogs do.

That doesn't make it any less gross, but at least you know they're not like, "ooh! Kitty candy!"

Need some Magic cards to play with? I have a house full.

Re: Apparently, eating cat poop is kind of effcient

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

So instead of "ooh! Kitty candy!" it's "ooh! Kitty well-balanced meal!" Like that's so much better! :P

I don't know what I'd do with Magic cards, really, but it is tempting!

Tey should be forced to drive an Escort till they learn courtesy/

Yep. Women in SUVs are a serious problem on the roads today. I should really start counting how many times I get cut off, almost hit or so on by someone in an oversized land monster vehicle, and start tallying how often it is some stupid woman. She's usually pint sized and very into her appearance as well. I think there's definitely a penis envy sort of attitude.

Women are often the owners of those things and aren't just driving the man of the house's vehicle around town. Lots of them even have stickers on them saying stuff like "Yes, this ISN'T my boyfriend's!" and so on. They're really proud that they have a car that they have to use a stepping stool to enter. They definitely have chips on their shoulders and it's like they feel that by buying an SUV, they're not only sitting high above the rest of the world, but they're actually buying the right of way in traffic and the privilage to not ever have to look out for other people. I laugh when I see them in accidents, crying while they babble away on their cell phones calling for help. Maybe if they'd stayed off the phone in the first place they wouldn't be in the accident. I'm just particularly hateful towards this demographic though. Too many bad encounters have soured me against them. Just like yesterday.

Re: Tey should be forced to drive an Escort till they learn courtesy/

It doesn't take a lot of work on that demographic's part to make people hate them. Never feel bad for actively fulfilling what seems to be their desires. These creatures always existed among womankind. The automotive industry simply gave them the means to finally live their narcissistic dreams.

Why do you think I don't drive? I'll kill everyone on the road. :)

... It isn't women driving SUVs that are the problem. I have yet to meet a man who drove an SUV without the same issues. Every suv driver I have met has been arrogant and brash, and just accepted that they had the bigger car, and could go fast on bad weather and all that. (no real idea why they think they can stop on ice though...)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

I don't see that many men driving SUV's so I can't really develop a good research base there.

Look more in the winter, when it is icy
