Yo Mamma’s a Pessimist

My bro and I were flipping channels this weekend and came across “Yo Mamma” on MTV. Maybe I’m out of it, but I had never even heard of this show. It’s quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but we couldn’t stop watching and goofing on it. I seriously couldn’t stop laughing. In case you haven’t seen it, it’s hosted by the nerd kid on that 70’s show and involves “contestants” telling “yo mamma” jokes to each other in an epic drama filled battle. The judges make their decisions based on “originality, quickness, delivery, and that sting” for “one thousand dollars cash money” (you have to say it with a bad accent and it’s even more funny). To me, there’s nothing more entertaining than watching a bad show and cracking on it relentlessly. My bro and I can’t stop saying “don’t get it twisted, this is……. yo mamma”. Who tells yo mamma jokes anyway? If anything, the show is a prime example of the dumbing down of America. The “street talk” is so over done that the show looks like a bad SNL skit.

While on the subject of street talk, here are a few slangs we’ve been saying a lot lately (in addition to load ass of course). Douche Bag, Cheese Dick, and Fuck Stick. These phrases generally apply to guys with tight bright shirts with the collar popped. They are almost interchangeable. Yet, each slang has a specific usage, especially when out at the bars. A douche bag is generally a guy who thinks he’s the shit but is really a moron. A cheese dick is a dude that rolls up on girls with those cheesy lines but somehow gets away with it. And a fuck stick would be a complete asshole but gets chicks cause he does roids or something. Maybe we’re just haters, but it’s funny. We even crack on our boys like, “what the fuck was that cheese dick line all about?”

In other news, someone told me the other day that I was a pessimist. I tend to think I’m a realist, but maybe that’s just same thing as a pessimist. This came up when my buddy told me he had trouble starting his car one day but wasn’t gunna have it looked at because it only happened once. I then told him, “just watch. It’ll happen again on the morning of a test or something and then you’ll be screwed.” Is that pessimistic? I tend to think if you’re always optimistic, you set yourself up for disappointment when things don’t go your way. Damn it, I really have to get back to work, and I feel like I’m on a roll… till next time.

Working at a restaurant for 2 yrs or more will turn just about anyone into a pessimist. Here's to movin' on and movin' on up.
