Like Ferris Bueller’s Sister

Posted on | March 19, 2013 | 74 Comments

“Why should he get to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants? Why should everything work out for him? What makes him so goddamn special?”

Never mind why I’m quoting this. But when you see the vindictiveness — the backstabbing and vicious deceit — inspired by envy and ambition, and when you see your friends made to suffer because your other “friends” are psychologically consumed by selfish jealousy . . .

Damn. Just . . . damn.

    Actually McCain, if you remember, Bueller’s sister eventually had his back.

    I think you mean this chick. She was a bitch until the very end. Sometimes, you just gotta cut the cord and be done with it. If someone is gonna knife you over BS, where will they be when it matters? We’re not in high school anymore. These games are for prom queens. Let them discredit themselves.

    I would like walnuts in mine, and almonds. Dang but I am hungry. Stoopid hospital steroids… last day on ’em is today, barring a relapse of some sort.

    My disposition has been not unlike a rabid wolf due to this stuff as well. Pity the poor people who have to deal with me in real life.

    I’m happy when good stuff happens for my friends. But I guess I’m just weird like that.

    And by unnecessary, I mean what “Jennifer G.” did and to whom RSM is directing this to.

    When you get crabs, make crab cakes? Wait…that does not sound so appealing.

    No, I mean go to a seafood place and have someone else make ’em for me! If only I didn’t spend all my money trying to stay alive and stuff. Stoopid near death misadventures.

    If it is ‘we’ then why the reticence about naming a name?

    Inside baseball sucking worse than steroid induced polyphagia.

    Well look on the bright side: polyphagia is better than coprophagia!

    Depends on your definition of enemy. Consider some of the company this person keeps.
