Gay/Lesbien Marraige

I keep hearing about “religious” groups condemning gays and gay rights regurgitating some obscure Bible verse, or whatever. So let’s get to it. You want to talk about religion: It’s not the most credible institution. Let’s not forget, the crusades were waged in God’s name. Also, If you want to quote Bible verses, what about Mathew 7:1 “Judge not, lest ye be judged” or John 8:7 “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” How about the part where God gave us freedom of choice. The list goes on and on. The point is, if you are going to condemn someone or some group, don’t use the Bible as your reference. Remember how much everyone hates the Westboro Baptist Church hypocrites? If you don’t want to be grouped in with them, at LEAST, use different references.

So, back to the gay marriage announcement and the Arkansas Democrat/Gazette’s refusal to publish it: WTF?!? Who is it hurting?!? If you said No One… you’re right. If 2 guys or 2 girls want to get married, fine. Believe it or not, it’s not going to destroy the institute of marriage (which currently has a 45+% failure rate), it’s not going to crash the economy, it’s not going to end the world, AND, we probably won’t even know about it. The only people it affects are the 2 people getting married. I say,  who has the right to keep 2 people, who are in love, from being married. I say, Good for them!

Damn it, food! Why wont you cooperate?!?

OK, so after doing a little trial and error and eliminating certain foods from my diet to see where the food allergy is, we found out it’s gluten. Yeah. We have an answer. Boo! Gluten is in damn near everything. That’s not the bad part. Since gluten metabolites bind to opiate receptors in the brain, going 100% gluten free comes with withdrawal symptoms. Yippy!

I have noticed there are a lot more gluten allergy cases now than there were 50 years ago. Thank you GMO’s. We all appreciate your sneakiness.

Public Restroom Etiquette

OK, today we will discuss public restroom etiquette.

 

1. Urinal conversations are absolutely prohibited. Nobody should want to talk whilst peeing.
2. If you are a Super Pooper, and have successfully stopped up an industrial toilet, consider a double flush. No one wants to walk in and see a stopped up toilet.
3. WASH YOUR HANDS!! We all touch the same door knobs and I don’t want your sharticles on my hands. It’s gross, and we could all get Pink Eye.
4. Finally, if you are in a stall, close the door. It’s just polite.  

Traffic is a b!tch

Today, let talk about a major part of most people’s daily grind: Traffic.

I have never understood the concept of a traffic jam WITHOUT an accident. If there is a wreck, and cars are blocking lanes of traffic, fine. I get that. However, I don’t understand how people, who make the same drive every day, can be surprised….every day….. that they have to merge in the same places…..every day! In several European countries, the law requires the use of the “zipper effect” when in a merging situation. If you do not use it, you can get a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic. PEOPLE! Pay attention.

Football fans are crazy

OK, I live in Arkansas. We don't have a pro football team so everyone gravitates towards cheering for the Razorbacks. This would not bother me if we only had one team in the state….but that’s not the case. So here is my list of complaints, in no certain order:

 #1. “We” haven’t done a damn thing. How many quarters have YOU played?

 #2. The Razorbacks are NOT a professional team and their coach should not be paid as such. I don’t give a sh!t who he coached before he was hired by a STATE school. He makes over $3 MILLION every year, which makes him the highest paid government employee in the entire state.

 #3. Having your car painted like a razorback (or some other ridiculousness) is NOT cool. If you must support them, a simple bumper sticker will do.

#4. “Oh, well the Hogs bring in more revenue than the other teams.” Well, if the other teams got the same level of support…. Guess what: They would bring in the same level of revenue.

#5. Go Boll Weevils! (U of A at Monticello)  

In the begining

This is the first edition of The Daily Grind (by Chris). So, I will start by letting all you Grinders what is going on here. Every day, I will let all of my loyal subscribers in on what kind of ridiculous bullshit I have been exposed to that day. So, here we go:

There has been a higher than normal murder rate in Central Arkansas since just before Christmas. I’m going to let everyone in on some basic philosophies that, while common sense for most of us, must be some secret knowledge I came by somehow.

#1, When someone makes you mad, killing them is NOT an appropriate response. Scream, yell, bitch and moan, but don’t kill. I repeat DO NOT KILL!

#2, Road Rage is NOT a reason to kill someone….ever! If you are running late, it’s your own fault. Leave the house earlier next time.

#3, Cheating (of any kind) is not a good reason to sentence someone to death. A punch (only 1) to the stomach may be warranted but that is it.

#4, If you don’t have the money to buy something you want, don’t break into someone’s house or car to get it. These can lead to someone getting killed. And DAMN SURE don’t mug someone.

Remember, Grinders, common sense is not common.
