A pet peeve. August 3, 2013 8:58 pm bowser

For some reason I am very judgmental about old men with jackets, caps, bumper stickers, decals or whatever that says “Vietnam Vet”.   That was almost 5o years ago, half a century, two generations.  I interpret that to mean that they haven’t done a damned thing since then which is pathetic.  It’s not as if being a Vietnam veteran were something of which to be proud.

And middle-aged fat men wearing “Wahoo State Football” hats, T-shirts, jackets, bumper-stickers and decals.  For crying out loud, they aren’t football players, what happens in college football is a complete irrelevancy, interesting but meaningless and WTF kind of glory are they trying to ride in on?

They should get lives, real lives, do something today.  And tomorrow.  Get a prostate exam, live it up.

There.  I feel better.
