Hyperbole And A Half

Hyperbole And A Half is officially "back" today with an article that did exactly what she wanted it to do - it made me uncomfortably laugh at depression. I was EXTREMELY lucky to have my "Piece Of Corn Moment" (read the article) without the help of a doctor or medication, and i really hope I'm not one of those sunny people who presents himself as having "The Answer" ("Meditation is the only way, my friend!").

My corn came in 1996, the year I skipped Christmas. I sat in my apartment all alone and watched the Andy Griffith Show marathon on Nickelodeon all Christmas eve. My emotions came on-line somewhere around 3am Christmas morning, and I laugh-cried myself to sleep.

Abercrombie & Fitch

You've probably already heard about the Abercrombie & Fitch controversy, and how they won't make clothes for fat people because fat people aren't cool, right? Well I'm here to say that I wholeheartedly agree with them on this, and support their right to cater to the thin, popular, pretty people of the world.

I also support the right of non-thin, non-popular, non-pretty, non-Abrcrombie people (like myself) to go to the food court, get a giant soda and a Cinnabon the size of their head, and just stand right outside the entrance to Abercrombie & Fitch to just STARE at each and every one of those customers and comment to each other about how pretty and popular and skinny those folks look.

I support our right to breathe through our mouths while we do this, and our right to look and act as creepy as we like while gawking at the pretty popular folks.
