TTMG: strep throat edition

oh dear. i’m sick at home today with a nasty bout of strep throat. we’re talking glands swollen out to my ears, excruciating throat pain, pus in the tonsils–the whole 9 streptococci yards. it sucks. it especially sucks because i really, REALLY love my job, and I felt genuinely sad to have to stay home today. sick on the first week? wtf? that’s despicable.

so, to cheer me up and make me feel better about eating nasty ricola throat lozenges, we’ll have a nice TTMG friday.

1. frosted tips

it’s amazing how often i still see these.

of course, if you’re a young father-to-be, you might be able to pull this look off:

she’s a lucky lady!

2. thug hats with stickers

is lil’ john still cool? last time i checked most white guys weren’t lil john, so i’m not sure what this is about. the thing is, this is a really old trend, but it’s still so prevalent ’round these parts.

i’d prolly support the stickers on the hat trend if they were all patriotic like the above hat. that’s just being a good american.

3. politicians writing books

case in point:

since when were politicians celebs? and since when did being a politician/celeb make you qualified to write a book? what makes you think you’re important enough to write a book about your life? and, since when was it ok to write an autobiography? that just seems completely self-absorbed to me. maybe if someone else wants to write a book about you but…writing a book about yourself? whatever man.

4. inspirational quotes

i’m sick of these. stop posting them on facebook. stop putting them in vinyl on your walls. just stop.

unless it’s quotes like this…

also, when i searched for jack handy, i found this:

crazy.

5. ke$ha

submitted by mz. jenny andrus, i couldn’t agree more.

oddly enough, i couldn’t find a picture of her not making this face.

i just….i’d really like to know whose brilliant idea it was to put a $ sign in her name. are you kidding me? is she a rapper? no. does she have gold grills? no. is she running around in lil’ john’s krunk club? no. by the transitive property, she’s not allowed to put $ signs in her name.

6. people not putting shopping carts away

submitted by callie morby and a subject near and dear to my heart.  are you kidding me? the little cart corral is literally two steps away from your car. propping it on the curb is not ok. and just putting it between spaces is definitely not ok. just because the cart isn’t rolling away now doesn’t mean it won’t two seconds from now when you pull away and your car isn’t there to hold it in place anymore.

maybe if you’re too lazy to put your cart away you shouldn’t have the right to use a cart. maybe this is a better solution for you:

or maybe you could just use your cart as your car and solve the problem completely:

and since i so terribly neglected my blogging duties for an entire week, we’ll have a feast of weekly WINS! to help make my strep go away faster.

first of all, this website, submitted my mz. marci monson is incredible. please check it out and support your local prom dress dealer.

i love this for so many reasons.

where is this family and how can i join?

of course, it wouldn’t be a TTMG without a proper artistic prego pic:

and lastly,

what premium friends he must have!

well that’s all for this week. have a good weekend everyone, and don’t get sick! use your germ-x and steer clear from me.

have a good one.
