Jumping the Shark

Give me a break. It's been a busy week. Yeah- I'm defensive. What of it. Do you wanna make something of it? Huh?

Anyway, now that I've gotten the chest beating (which hurts- I'm a girl) out of the way, a friend sent this to me- said it was by the excorable Jeff Foxworthy. So apologies are in order up front. But it is a break (welcome, I expect) from me whining about the weather. And like I said above, I'm just to damned tired tonight to care. But still- the love is there. Just tired love, that's all. And another disclaimer- I have NO idea why some words are capitalized. It distracted me while I was reading- I tried to see if the capitalized words were some kind of code. Then I got tired. And didn't care anymore.

Cheers.

i don't dig Jeff Foxworthy.
the mothafucka has been doing this same ol' schtick for a decade now.
keep it fresh, Jeff...keep it fresh!

besides, i like your biotching about the weather. it beats Jeff's jokes.

Ah- c'mon. The F1 thing is an indulgence. This is truly jumping the shark.

(S)wine said...

the F1 thing is on the other post. right now, your comeback, here, makes no sense.
or does it?

slyboots2 said...

None whatsoever.

But then, really, what does?

bedmonster said...

Foxworthy might be derivative.

But it's TRUE. Oh my god. That's my childhood right there. I didn't realize it was strange until I moved away...

Now see, that's what I expected from another expat. The realization that 98-99% of the above is applicable. Under most circumstances.

And then the sadness sets in. Realizing that Jeff Foxworthy could be a relatively astute observer...just makes me sad. In a bad way.
