Joe Has A Grievance or Two

(Joe from Maine has some grievances he'd like to share)

Festivus 2009.

I got a lot of problems with...

1. Stalling Republicans who were elected by their constituents to DO SOMETHING to help the country, and yet for the past 11 months have done nothing but obstruct progress on anything and everything.
2. Sell-out Democrats who would rather line their pockets than DO SOMETHING to help the country.
3. Sarah Palin.  You're a quitter on Twitter. And a knucklehead.  Please shut up.
4. People in the big cities who use a friggin lawn chair and a milk crate to ‘save’ their parking space after a big snowstorm.  C’mon...it’s a lawn chair and a milk crate.  When does a lawn chair and milk crate = a car?  Can I take a lawn chair and a milk crate to the local car dealer and trade it in for a new Subaru?  Hmmm...wait, I should try that one.  (PS - Full disclosure: I live in Maine and nobody uses the chair/crate place holder...but for 12+ years I lived in Philly and witnessed this. Friends still in Philly sent pics to me this weekend of the placeholders being used after last weekends 23 inch snowstorm)
5. Candy companies who continue to shrink the size of their product while charging more for it. Have you noticed how much smaller candy bars and lollipops have gotten?  What the hell, candymakers?  You think you’re saving money by charging more while selling less, but hey....I’m Out!  I want my gigantic DumDums back
6. HewlettPackard and Microsoft.  You both suck.  Fourteen months after buying a new HP laptop, it crashed. Hard. Wicked hard. Beyond saving, unless I wanted to shell out $500 to get it fixed.  Fuck you, HP with Microsoft Vista operating system. I instead put that $500 towards a Mac. And I have no regrets about dumping my reliance on HP or Microsoft. And customer service for both of you suck.
7. Budweiser products.  How can your garbage beer be #1 in America?

Other than those listed above, I hope you all have a wicked awesome holiday and new year.

Now on to the feats of strength.  I’ll start by lifting a 22oz beer.  Can anybody beat that?

Amen. Miller is where it's at. That Bud Select 55 garbage is...garbage. What's the point? And Bud Light is cold urine.

I read somewhere that it's there job to just oppose shit. Well, them and Lieberman.

It's their job to do shit. They only get to keep their jobs if they oppose shit.

So... in a sense... it's their job to oppose shit. Kinda like how it's my job to not fuck shit up.

Pounding quality beer on the reg costs too much, and if it's dark it costs too much the next day. Bud Light is cheap, and easy on the stomach. It also numbs my palette after the first pull. I drink six pints a day just to stay strong.

mac customer service sucks too but at least there's a 90% chance you won't need it compared to ms crap's 95% chance you will.

Were you asleep before 2006? This game wasn't recently invented.
