Honey, I'm Sooooo Sorrry

And if you can't hack the marriage until you're 104, there's always this option:

Shut up, Harold! There's Nothing Good About Getting Old!

I like how the husband in this story spouts the typical platitudes about love, hope commitment and devotion that one expects from an old – extremely old – couple when explaining how they have survived for so long.

Then his wife chips in with the “Life is Hell” sentiment. Way to tell it like it is, grandma. That reminds me of how, when we were twenty or so, my good friend Christian (C.D. Manders) used to comment on how we couldn’t wait until he aged so he could say whatever he wanted and wear loud-ass plaid pants and no one could do anything about it because he was so old. There’s not much to embrace about aging, but being resolved of the obligation to match and make sense when you talk is some consolation.

Hey, Will You Let Go of the Controller Already?

OK, so this qualifies as an ignoble death. But the question is, did he make it to Level 35 and unlock the code of invincibility?

Not that making fun of old ladies is cool or anything, but Whiskey Rebellion will entertain a chivalry break in order to bring you our Photo-of-the-Day (scroll down to the main pic) Note: this is what happens when you bean the opposing batter. And he’s big. And he voted for Kerry. Or his brother was Willie Horton.

Tired of all that Inspirational Crap?

Did you feel like the movie Office Space was written for you, specifically? Are you tired of the trite, motivational posters adorning conference room walls? Does the rah-rah speech and slap on the back from your boss feel like an ice pick through your shoulder blades? Well, then, we have just the site for you.
