Dress Code + 1

If I say nothing else today, let me at least say this:

  1. Adults should not wear overalls. Unless they are farmers.
  2. No one (especially women) should wear suspenders. Sorry, Mork.
  3. Little boys look asinine in miniature "business"-type suits.

  4. When people say, "I could care less", they're usually not making the point they want to make. Example: "I could care less about J. Lo and Ben Affleck" does not indicate the lowest possible level of interest. "I couldn't care less" does.

Of course, as is the case with all of my lists, this one is by no means complete. (And yes, I must say that every time I make a list ... just so no one says, "But you forgot [blah] and [whatnot] and [whozit].")

Having spent my weekend in sauntering around Miami Beach, I need to add something:

Our government needs to pass new, tough, enforceable thong laws. I don't mean to discriminate, but some sort of age/weight limit is extremely necessary. And thongs for men need to be banned outright.

It was deeply traumatic. There was an overweight man whose sumo-like attire must have turned several women gay and caused several gay men to weep stoically like the Native American in that 70's anti-littering commercial. There were two extremely senior women who appeared to be smuggling marbles in their over-exposed hindquarters.

Sometimes I wonder whether repressing memories is always a bad thing. I thik God may have given us this ability for just such situations...

I do my best to avoid the entertainment "news" and now, you are spreading it! LOL

And what's this about eveything you write not being the definitive piece? Do you really mean that your lists are, ahem... incomplete? Be still my heart... I was counting on your to provide the final word on these topics!

I know, you just want to bitch slap me, right?

You've touched upon one of my biggest pet peeves. I've all but given up trying to explain it to people though...
Me: I could care less means that it's possible for you to care less
Them:
Me: I couldn't care less means that you care the least amount possible and therefore not at all
Them: anyway...

I was just at Wal-Mart today (I know...)and I swear to god, I was standing in the greeting card asle with my mom and this guy in overalls was picking out a card.

I think he was a farmer though...at least I hope he was.

Yep, Yolanda, those are two of the most irritating.

Spotted around my neighbourhood: Tube tops with overalls on top. A one way ticket to the trailer park, I say.

I was sooooo disappointed about Ben and JLo. She's a ho. A ho with a big ass, and yes, I hope that gives her a complex.

Fucking hollywood types make me sick.

But seriously, I couldn't give a rat's ass about either of them. Or is it could? Hmm.

Ha! I've always thought little boys dressed up in suits look ridiculous as well.

Offered by: Kelly on August 3, 2002 12:56 PM

"I could care less." and use of the word "irregardless". Grrrrr.
