Things that just don't make sense

    We live in a crazy place where sense can go out the window.


    Santa Claus: Parents work hard all year round to save cash for presents at Christmas time. Instead of getting any credit from their kids for this, they pretend that some hairy, obese man came down the ****ing chimney and delivered the presents. If you step back and think of it, it doesn't make much sense. The kids might love Santa but they'd probably love their parents a little bit more if they found out the truth.

    Bingo: A favourite with the older gals on After Hours I'm sure. People gather around to listen to numbers being called out. There is no skill involved and the amazing thing is some people actually think this is entertaining. Sorry it's not, it's mental.

    Anyone got anymore?

    You're wrong if you think there's no skill involved in playing bingo!

    Bingo is a social event for the auld wans. Just another way for them to punch in the time. That said, there's a few bob to be made out of bingo. Some of them auld wans get very competitive when the few bob is involved.

    pets are lovely company..and I often prefer pets to people any day!...
    Apart from that..some of them make sense. A dog to guard a house, ferrets for hunting, cat to keep the mice away etc etc.

    Mind, you'd think after years of pulling them off , the legs would eventually go bald. :mad:

    Fiber optics, telephones and TV. Soo, pictures and words come in over the air or down a wire and then... makes no sense to me anyway. Are ye sure there aren't pixies in there??? I may be a bit thick.

    Winning Streak.

    I never understood the appeal, it's not like other game shows where the public win money but have to answer questions or something. No, here all you do is pick numbers, spin a wheel and get tens of thousands of euro. Fantastic for the people involved of course but I couldn't sit through a show myself, I don't see the entertainment. Aul wans in particular seem to go mad for it, each to their own I suppose.

    Winning Streak and Bingo are definitely first cousins. I think everyone knows what I'm referring to. It's just that vibe you get off it, like an old biscuit tin that doesn't have any biscuits in it but loads of sewing equipment.

    Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

    Gonna get railed for this ...but

    Some, certain, and not all by any means .... individual persons of a strong inclination possibly towards certain, not all, types of atheism (possibly).

    I mean the ones who go round smiling that life is ultimately meaningless and we're soulless tricks of biology, hurray. Theres no happy ending ...wayhey.
    Its all futile and pointless - hey isnt that great.

    Philosophical differences aside ...Ok maybe you're right ... fair enough...but why are you fcking smiling about it. Great news everyone - we live in a meaningless void with no hope of redemption :):):)
