Unfettered "Irony"

-        Taco John’s just came out with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap.  For a second I thought it was 2007 again.

-        I almost always make up a fake name when fast food restaurants ask for one.  What are they going to say- “No, that’s not your name.”  I almost always pay in cash for those thinking of the possible debit card confliction.  You should try it sometime, it’s exhilarating.

-        While we’re on the name topic, I always find it funny how fast food restaurants will still ask for your name even if you’re the only person there.  You know, in case there are any other Roger or Walters that enter the restaurant right after I order.

-        I hate when golf announcers use the word always for a shot or a putt, like, “that putt was always left.”  I think something needs to have more than a 4 second lifespan to earn an always.

-        How is Radio Shack still in business?  I don’t know anyone who’s shopped there this decade and I haven’t been there since I needed batteries for my Walkman.

-        I think it’s funny how McDonald’s is doing a massive remodel of each of its stores and its image.  I don’t even need to give a reason.

-        Why are weigh stations on the interstate always closed?  No wonder the U.S. has an obesity problem.

-        Anyone else get that vibration twitch in your pocket where you quick grab or touch your leg to see if your phone is buzzing, only to realize that your phone is not in your pocket?  That quick grab would look really funny to someone who doesn’t own a cellphone, which is no one over the age of 6.
