Lengthy Proper Nouns We Cant Abbreviate

karynlists — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:41:41 -0700

We’ve thought of one from each category: Brand names, movies, TV, books and musicals:

1. I Cant Believe It’s Not Butter

I cant believe you successfully branded an entire sentence!

2. The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

You @sshole.

3. Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place

We are aware they abbreviated this title in later seasons

4. We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda

No disrespect to the book, which is great. It’s just a long title that needs to be said in full.

5. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

The musical comedy…..that’s totally annoying to insert into a normal dialogue.

Unfunny Main Characers Surrounded By Hilarious Supporting Roles

karynlists — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:14:00 -0700

Note: This doesn’t mean we don’t like the movie. We love these movies. It just means the supporting roles were way funnier than the lead, sometimes on purpose.

1. Cady Heron in Mean Girls

2. Mitch from Old School

3. Striker from Airplane!

4. Josh from Road Trip

5. Dean from Waiting

All these people had a moment or two, but generally speaking, they were relatively unfunny compared to the others.

Just Barely Acceptable Eating Habits II

karynlists — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:20:00 -0700

There’s a fine line between unacceptable and just barely acceptable. We like to pin down the latter.

1. Taking the nacho that’s attached to all other nachos.

“I wouldn’t want to manhandle this entire thing just to get one of the nachos off the plate. Guess I’ll have to take this one”. We barely accept this.

2. Eating large tomato’s like apples

Just BARELY acceptable. Actually this could be debated.

3. Taking the cheese off your pizza

People do this. And we just barely accept it.

4. Eating the fried part of the onion rings

And leaving the onions

5. Eating spaghetti like this:

Yeah nobody LIKES to look at that but its just barely acceptable because….well….you’ve been there too.
