No matter how you spent Thanksgiving, traveling, with friends and family, watching football or whatever family traditions you practice, you had that moment where you said aloud (or just in your head); Arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh! The question is, what was it that caused yours? Was it the mindless stories on cable all day? Or was it that ridiculous play in that game you were watching? Or maybe it was because you couldn't watch one of the games due to a dispute between the cable company and the broadcasting company over fees? Or maybe that idiot driver that...
Some of my Arrrgggghhh moments occurred before Thanksgiving. I love Christmas music, but I'd prefer it not be broadcast 24/7 until after Thanksgiving, not on 1 November. Playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving takes some of that specialness away the "Sounds of Christmas". So along with other reasons to dislike Corporate America you can add "Abusing Christmas Music".
There are many others I could cover here, some funny, some not quite so funny, but let hear about yours. Take the opportunity below to add some. You can even give your version of some I've mentioned above. Let them be funny, sad, hair-raising et cetera.
Oh! And just a quick public announcement; WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DEER! Deer collisions with autos are up 21% around the country, according to a report I just heard on television.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
- If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
- Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
- You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
- You don't have to comment to recommend.
- You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
- Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
- Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
- TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
