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?

    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.

    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 :):):)

    Why the fook did they only make 5 episodes of The Fall. I couldn't understand why my Sky box didn't record it this week. I thought there must be some type of disastrous mistake, but it turns out episode 5 was the finale.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 438 ✭✭Omeceron


    People on Deal or no deal. You don't know what is in the box, you can't sense if it is red or blue.

    You don't deserve a cheer if it is blue.

    It is not your fault if it is red.

    Living.
    Our ancestors HAD to survive, they HAD to get up and hunt to get their food, they had no other option.
    In 2013 we have stores we can go to to get all the food and comfortable living supplies we could ever need and not only that we have designed entertainment devices to use up time when we are doing nothing so essentially distracting us from our own mortality.
    Now since the survival aspect of life is taken away, we use it productively so that we may advance in all aspects of our life and make life more and more comfortable.
    But why the need for so much comfort? Is it so we can take our mind off not having a true purpose, maybe that was why man made Religion so he can delude himself into thinking that we are special and not just another animal on this planet.

    Chewbaca defense.

    I did not kill my lovely wife
    I did not slash her with a knife
    I did not bonk her on the head
    I did not know that she was dead.

    I stayed at home that fateful night
    I took a cab then took a flight
    The bag I had was just for me
    My bag! My bag! Hey, leave it be.

    When I came home I had a gash
    My hand was cut from broken glass
    I cut my hand on broken glass
    A broken glass did cause that gash.

    I have nothing, nothing to hide
    My friend, he took me for a ride.

    Did you take this person's life?
    Did you do it with a knife?
    I did not do it with a knife
    I did not, could not kill my wife
    I did not do this awful crime
    I could not, would not anytime.

    Did you hit her from above?
    Did you drop this bloody glove?

    I did not hit her from above
    I cannot even wear that glove

    I did not do it with a knife
    I did not, could not kill my wife
    I did not do this awful crime
    I could not, would not anytime.

    And now I'm free, I can return
    To my house for which I yearn
    And to my family whom I love
    Hey now I'm free -- give back my glove!
