SomBlock In Reverse: 9/14/09

1. Happy Monday? Sure, why the hell not? You got any better suggestions?

2. You know you’re getting old when you don’t know a single one of the songs that won an MTV VMA Award. But then, maybe that’s a good thing.

3. Last night, I played a board game called Smart Ass. Needless to say, I kicked ass and took names. I didn’t get any prizes for this though.

4. Stocks for Doritos, Bud Light, and La-Z-Boy soared over the weekend. Yes, football season has officially begun.

5. I enjoy when people put their fingers in their ears as the Subway is approaching. Those wussies. What’s that you say? I can’t hear you.

6. In the future, the Subway will be whisper quiet, floating on force fields. It will still be overcrowded and never arrive on time though.

7. It’s so gratifying when you’re the only person not to force your way onto an overpacked Subway car, then another pulls up & you get a seat.

8. Remember the pledge: at 2000 tweets, the SomBlock drinks a beer from the wrong Holy Grail. It will crumble to dust, but do so with a buzz.

9. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by the sarcasm that makes my world go round. Wouldn’t you like to be a sarcastic smartass pepper too?
