about smartcookie

i write about what goes on in my life. i write about things i think are funny. i write nonsense. i write about bodily functions.

i have a boyfriend/husband named nathan who loves video games. we get along great. about 7% of the time. any percentage greater is purely a curious statistical anomaly.
aww i love nate!

and as our story progresses, you may wonder who i'm talking about.

aside from courageous nathan, our main characters include:
oh. and i teach dance and like accounting. the end.

rickle my pickle

so i have this tendency to "web surf" and if i must use a metaphor (which we all know i'm very fond of and sooo great at creating new ones), i would say that i have an even bigger tendency to web surf the cesspools of the internet.

because i find sites like "shortsupport.org". now what's funny/pathethic about finding that? not that much. maybe because i'm short. no. what's pathetic is that i take the time to fully explore the site until i come up with this page:

http://www.shortsupport.org/TheMedia/commercials/burgerking-summers.html

where some idiot (most likely a 5 foot idiot) says that a 10-second burger king commercial is "heightist". yeah. thats a legitimate word (according to this website). and i quote, "Was he fired because of poor job performance? No. Did the other employees guess numbers that were higher or lower than the short man's guess? No. In fact, they didn't even get a chance. It is obvious that the short man was fired because of his height."

WHAT?! ok, so then it goes on and gets all snarky..

"Does anybody care? Burger King certainly doesn't. Apparently, Burger King thinks that discrimination is funny. Well, not ALL discrimination - just discrimination against short men."

if i were burger king, i would get all corporate on them and sue them for ridiculousness (or re-rickulousness, as my friend rick from work would say).
