The trite leading the trite

I am back. I was not sure what to post today. I could tell the story of the old dude in the red BMW 3 Series who could not seem to decide what lane he was, or wanted to be, in. I guess I just told that story. Really was not that funny, was it?

I have been doing some work on a database for charities. I noticed that there is a charity called "Motorcyclists Against Childhood Cancer" or some such thing. Is that not the most trite name around (or some such variation). Oh, you are against childhood cancer, well thank you very much. That is quite a stretch there. I guess you do not want to go out on a limb about the issue.

I would like to see a charity that was specifically "for" childhood cancer. This is not like the pro-choice/pro-life debate. Who the fuck is "for" cancer, let alone childhood cancer?! Is it just me, but don't you want to strangle anybody who says something so trite and self-evident?

It was like as MIL was dying and the Wife tells me that she "does not want to go through this". Sweetie, really? I am shocked. I kind of figured her for the type of person that wants to take on the responsibility for caring for her mother, father and lesser extent idiot, older brother (the "idiot" part has not actually been diagnosed, but it based on about 20 years of seeing him in (in)action). Then again, she does come from a family where pointing out the obvious was treated as deep insight, so that explains that.

Well, that is what I have for you leading up to the weekend. Make it an enjoyable one as it is you, and only you, who has that power. Ciao!
