More Things That Don't Make Sense To Me

More Things That Don't Make Sense To Me

Robin Hall


This will be updated as long as my life makes less and less sense. I have no idea why any of the following exist AT ALL. If you have other ideas, do drop me a line and I will add them, with full credit, or maybe you can blog them on your space.

1. A-cup bras. Really, what is going on other than the bra makers are scamming their customers?

2. Crotchless panties. The most logical use of underwear, to me, is for sanitary purposes. After a bathroom experience there is a chance of a drop of some liquid. Cotton works well here. Shear synthetics do not. Crotchless panties really do not.

If you are up for unexpected sex, go without drawers. Problem solved and more power to you, like in the sea grapes on Lantana Beach with Phyllis.

3. If a man can afford bespoke clothing: "What side do you dress to?" is pretty silly under 6". Be honest with your tailor.

4. Now this one is so outrageous it makes me mad. Why would anyone drink caffeine free diet soda? Duh. Water.

5. Cleavage annoys me. Not having it of course, but displaying it THEN chastising people who look and its not just men.

6. I think women's fashion and clothes are so often demeaning. Its like just being a woman makes them beauty objects, not equal people who dress funnily / amusingly or dress to please themselves, really.

I will never be a woman, cannot know where their clothes tastes came from but some of these things just don't make sense to me and this one goes beyond fashion to a few notes on sex "hygiene":

a.Wearing those dresses with cleavage and a swooping neckline in the middle of winter. They cannot be comfortable.

b. Who thought them up, early on, and who keeps high heels a fashion item? Orthopedists with heavy investments in the shoe industry?

c. I have never understood those silly hats. However if you really do, ignore this note.

d. What's up with make-up? Yuk. It really doesn't make you look better. Different yes. Better, no. Plus it tastes bad if you are having full contact oral sex.

e. What's up underarm deodorant / antiperspirant? Yuk, plus they, too, taste bad if you are having full contact oral sex. Its the aluminum for one of them.

Ditto for "feminine hygiene" deodorants and REALLY ditto for the taste bad part. Sweetie, if we are 69, I do not want a synthetic strawberry smell in my mouth. It lasts way too long.

Hygiene is being clean, not coating yourself with cover-up smells. This is not to say a FINE perfume tactically placed cannot go beyond

If you pee in an interlude of sex, wash with a light soap, rinse and come on back to bed. I will be happy you thought of me.

I don't think I am alone in saying I don't like the taste of pee.

Ditto and more for #2 in the loo.

A brief suggestion. Just be clean. Take showers regularly. At work, maybe rinse underarms on a long day.

Research suggests the antiperspirants don't really work that well anyway.

f. Do you really need a $150 hairdo to feel attractive?

g. Or a $150 manicure / pedicure?

h. Or a $10K spa weekend?

All of us are pretty, plain or ugly and all the "treatments" in the world won't change this. We can do our best is all.

7. A $100K+ sports car in America. There is simply no where to drive it, its at high risk for theft and sale in Russia or South America and it really won't make you a better lover.

8. A $50K + SUV UNLESS you really do go off-road a lot and need one. Hunters, photographers, campers sure, why not if you have the cash. The rest of the car buying public can be much more comfy in other vehicles.

9. Two million dollar mobile homes / travel vehicles. What are you thinking about?

10. Why is everything a war today? Pizza wars, NY vs. Chicago. Iron Chef challenges. Throw downs. BBQ wars. Power eating challenges. Why are there no cooperations rather than all those wars?



11. Why don't Americans have health care for all?



12. The Olympic "sports" of banner waving and organized swimming. I am sure power eating and poker are coming up. See below.

13. Why is power eating considered a sport and on ESPN? They should be ashamed OR go a step further and have power drinking, power crack smoking and power cocaine snorting too.

14. Why is poker also considered a sport and on ESPN? How's this, have a gambling channel and put all the casino games on it ! There is little in the way of sport in any of them. Skill, yes, sport no.

I consider no-limit hold'em poker fully equal in difficulty, skill level to bridge, chess, checkers and go. These could also be on the gambling channel if played for money.

15. Why is pot illegal and both cigarettes and alcohol are? There is a profit motive at work here and the hordes of religionists don't want anyone to have fun. Maybe they designed the crotchless panties as an attempt at titillation. But why?

16. Why are so many teens funneled to college when they could do much better heading to work, trade school, the military, police, fire department and so on.

Go to work. Later if you find you need college, go there with the money YOU earned.

17. Why do people use air fresheners? Just get more air from the source. Its already fresh.

18. Roulette and craps. These confuse me. People put money on squares or the like, a ball is put into a spin or dice are tossed. Its gambling but how could it be fun? You know you will lose. Why not attempt poker? At least there is a chance to win. Not much. A chance. Do learn how to play first however. The pros will take your money, any amount and thank you for it. Some are rude and will laugh at you.

19. Gossip. There are folks in my seniors building who will sit for hours at a time, outside in hot weather, make noise, squawk, cackle, say nothing, laugh and that is their day. I tried it once and lasted 10 minutes.

20. Taking a bath rather than a shower.

Consider. Here is a bath tub. Did you actually clean the tub first? You fill it with fresh water. Here you are dirty.

There are parts of you that are dangerously dirty and check out the research on e coli.

There are parts of you that are seriously at risk, like your eyes that have a direct tube to your nasal cavity which could lead to your lungs or stomach,

Now, you step into the bath. Your feet, ripe with fungus and whatever else pollute the water immediately.

Next you sit. Folks you just infected the water with E. coli and who knows what else, along with various bacteria, fungus, pollen and even virus that has collected on your skin.

You may wash your head first. Guess what you are washing and rinsing with, bath water. Your eyes are under attack.

Your privates are also subject to the polluted water. I suspect your urethra is under attack and how many women have constant bladder and urethral problems due to the bath soup of infections and some men too.

IF you actually wash all over, how many of you rinse under the shower after a bath? I suspect few use the shower. They just dry off and wonder why their skin is a mess. YUK.

Just take a shower. All the problems go down the drain, you are healthier and life goes without worries from cleaning yourself.

If you like a bath, just get in, relax then take a shower after to actually get clean and don't immerse your head in the bath. Your eyes don't like problems.

21. Six pound hamburgers. Now this would make a fine meal for a basketball team but not any one person.
http://www.offroaders.com/album/clearfield/clear06092006/index5.html

This confuses me. Only one person so far has won this challenge for a free meal. A small 100 pound woman of 19 downed the 6 pound burger in under 3 hours.

WTF? Its 1/16th of her entire weight. Birds would be envious. YIKES. Why was there no video of this feat and the aftermath? What was she thinking? Did it kill her? Is she on ESPN now as a power eater?

This same place also has a 15 pound burger. How could you even cook a 15 pound burger? What would the spatula look like? "Denny's also has the "Beer Barrel Belly Buster" a monstrous 15-pound burger featuring 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers. On a bun."

Its a meal for 32 hungry middle income folks or 64 homeless souls. Are they expecting Paul Bunyan coming in for a snack?

22. There are words that don't make sense to me. Today's word is foolproof. Think about this. Someone competent designs a product and labels it foolproof in setting up, managing etc.

Weigh this against ALL the fools in the world. Someone is going to be a bigger fool than the product. Its statistics. There are some very focused fools.

Maybe the term should be almost foolproof. OR the company could hire fools to test products and state, this product is 87% foolproof.

This does not even include people like my ex-wife. She is not a fool by any means BUT she was born with the ability to destroy anything. I call her the Queen of Chaos. I am positive there are many like her in the world fully qualified to destroy most anything.

Companies should pay her great sums to test products. Pay the fools too of course.

They should come up with a product rating that blends chaos with foolery. This product is 87% foolproof and our Chaos expert PC took 4 months to destroy it. It took her only 3 months to destroy a Sherman tank.

Think about this. Really.

We do have a Sherman Tank. Penny destroyed it in 3 months. Well it was really 2 months but none of our technicians found out till we tried to start the tank after her visit.

Two days after Penny's visit, our best technician was there. She got inside the tank for a routine inspection. There was dog hair on the control panel. This WAS our very best tech, so she inspected further. Then she tried to start the tank. Nothing happened. She even had the key. Nothing happened. Other techs visited the tank to no avail.

We have since moved the tank to another location. Now its a very sturdy building shield. We drained the fuel. Top military advisers are still confused but this tank just won't work. Chaos at work.

The Queen of Chaos had visited. I rest my case.

23. Don't you think TinyURL should now be called medium sized URLS? Really.

24. After trying for years to find a companion online, I am now sure this makes no sense to me. We meet online. Do we? He could be a she and we wouldn't know. Photos can be sent that are not the person.

We can do video chat which is indicative. Regular voice or vidcam chat. Email. Find the right address and do google searches and then paid searches.

The more we do the closer to reality we get BUT a single day in person is worth more than all the chats, the words, the photos.

Make it real. Visit. DO NOT STAY AT THEIR PLACE. Get a m/hotel room when you visit and go on regular dates. Expect no more than a regular date.

Do not go to foreign countries looking for love or just to get laid. YOU WILL SUFFER.

Save sex for when you both exchange full blood tests for HIV, HHV, the 3 liver tests and all the STDs you never wanted to get.

If you cannot afford to do these things, you shouldn't be seeking a companion online who is not in your very own town or city. IF you search in your own town or city, don't forget the blood tests.

25. Raw flesh consumption confuses me. I call all of it sushi / sashimi, but raw flesh is OK too. It just doesn't look good on a menu. Five ounces of raw beef. Four ounces of raw sawfish, etc.

No, restaurateurs dress up raw beef and call it steak tartare, kitfo etc. Folks this is raw cow meat. Does your local cook Fred have the training or the microscope to KNOW WTF he is sending out the kitchen door?

Cooking doesn't take that long. Be patient and let the other restaurant patrons end up in the hospital.

Think about all the parasites, bacteria and even virus that flesh is subject to, the processing methods of butchers and fishmongers. How fresh their products actually are.

Imagine your insides. Then ponder this. Just how many chefs in the whole world are capable of absolutely KNOWING which raw flesh is safe for your insides and back this up with a health guarantee?

We don't see much pig sushi in local restaurants like Nam Mu Sod , chicken sushi, deer, horse or lamb sushi / raw flesh / sashimi meals on many restaurant's menu for the day?

Would you really want to visit a generic restaurant in Chattanooga, TN and order sushi? Would it be catfish from the Tennessee river? Is this wise? What could they offer that was fresh and safe?

Until I can afford the top drawer chefs who charge up to $100 for a single raw clam, more than $500+ for a meal and my insides have a fighting chance, I will have to stick to overcooked foods at the local RFC, MinnyDs, PancakesRUS and an OK Chinese restaurant.

26. Just what IS fat free sour cream OR fat free ice cream? They have been in the stores for years now. I never wanted to take them home. They are lies. Look up cream in your dictionary. There is no such thing as fat free cream.

Its worse than the W. C. Fields quote, "Its like corn on the cob without the cob."

There are other products like this, lies that we tolerate.

27. Why is the VA so willing to try to ignore veteran's claims? Is this a mandate from Congress, any particular sitting President or is it a government agency with no accountability, no professionals doing the right thing? Psychiatrists, podiatrists, osteopaths, internists and all the other specialists needed to do their homework and do right by the veteran?

From the time of our country's first wars, the government has found ways to ignore the needs of veterans. This continues till the present and will likely continue in future. This agency, the VA, is often in complete control of who gets served properly, treated properly, who gets the medical benefits they deserve at the level they are needed.

There does not appear to be a civilian review board of qualified professionals in the first paragraph who are paid to do one thing, their best, when reviewing claims AND after interviewing the veterans.

This civilian review board should begin now. They should be able to access ALL prior claims, act on them AND make recompense when their findings conflict with the VA's ill thought out previous decisions and do it NOW.

28. Most reality TV shows. There are just too many problems with these to go in to so I won't spend much time on them.

Now I don't consider a cooking show to be one of these. History, interviews, news etc. No, these is just aspects OF TV. I don't even mind the dance shows, talent shows or the like. They are entertainment.

Its when "reality" shows attempt to enter our consciousness as a new form of ritual or truth that they become annoying and offensive. Bridezillas is a fine example. The many quest shows.

Just take your own quest or go to some church or other for rituals. Go to EST, ISA, a football game or the like. I hate "reality" TV.

The above are just examples of how foolishness is hurting us. Like sports video games. You think you are doing something online or in a digital game. Say its a bicycle race.

Jack, or Jill, after mastering this sort of video game, enter a real world bicycle race and see how well you do. Buy the very best cycle on the planet, get out there in the air, the real world and start pedaling.

Oops, the digital world does NOT equal the real world. Bikes don't have joy sticks and you don't have the endurance, strength or the will to win IN the real world.

The word on old style pinball machines to describe a physical fault was TILT.

29. Flash Gordon and Dr. Who. Such wooden acting, writing and production values? Who watches this drivel?

30. There is " virtually " nothing here that makes sense to me. Not that the article was inaccurate, just what it was about:

" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/11/AR2007081100351.html "

Why would anyone pay so much money to play an online game? The amounts involved in buying digital real estate, houses, avatars, sex movements and more simply startles me.

What? Lawsuits over " rights, " or "thefts" of digital items inside the game? This is worse than a scam, its a travesty.

Buy low, sell high? How high do you have to be to buy digital real estate? I am always drunk. I used to be always stoned. I NEVER bought digital rights nor did I think one could sell nothing for more than nothing.

DUH. Check the ads and try flipping.

I suspect this game is SUCH an improbable scam that few realize what is happening to them.

Its sort of like what happens with religions and we all know how that works out. Oops, most don't actually know what IS happening to them.

What is next in Second Life? A digital godlike figure similar to L. Ron Hubbard, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, the angel Moroni, and is no one else disturbed by an angel only an i away from moron?, the founder of EST and so many more "religions" whose the members have to pay to worship?

Why are there no full scholarships to scientology for instance?

And what was up with Bhagwan and Sushila and why did Bhagwan actually need more than 5 Rolls Royces?

Inquiring minds want to know. Will the digital gods require you to buy their particular choices of cars, houses and stereo systems?

Will the payment scheme TO worship these 0&1 gods, these digital gods, be monthly dues or a HUGE lump sum? Will you win the lottery when you pray to 0&1 gods?

Will your life be better, your reality life family be better? Will you be able to get a refund if its not? Same for regular world based religions. A refund if not satisfied?

Why do so many wish to give so much to so few for so little just TO worship something that is not really there but they wish was there?

All these things confuse me.
