What the Shark?!

Sharknado was beyond words. Sharknado 2 is beyond comprehension. 

If you thought watching the first movie was rough, watching Sharknado 2 is like chewing on crushed glass - it hurts like hell and nothing good will come of it. 

The cast is a Who's Who of craptastic actors, singers, and MTV VJ's. I'm pretty sure the only person who doesn't have a cameo is Nicholas Cage. Seriously, how is he not in this movie?!?!

Yet here I sit, tasty beverage in hand, watching what is sure to become a cult classic. I even made up my own drinking game in an effort to cope with what I fear will become the worst Trilogy ever made. It's a really simple game: every time Ian Ziering (whose name is Fin, by the way) looks concerned or confused, you have to drink. If you manage to make it to the end of the movie without blacking out, I salute you. 


(And for those of you with an irrational fear of sharks, just remember that a Sharknado isn't impossible, just very unlikely. So if you live in the Tri-State area, you should probably get a chainsaw)

Happy (Insert Day of the Week)

This is an honest question: 

When someone says to me "Happy Monday!" or "Happy Friday!" what are they expecting me to say in return? 

Because 98% of the time, it's someone at work who is overly perky when they utter the phrase and punching a co-worker in the throat is frowned upon by HR. 

"Happy Monday" - Last time I checked, most people would rather drink bleach than go to work on Monday. Hearing you bubble "Happy Monday!" is enough to push anyone over the edge. If you're one of these annoying Happy Monday people, you've been warned.

"Happy Tuesday" - you've never heard it because no one has ever uttered it. 

"Happy Hump Day" - it's not the Hump Day part of it that bothers me. I think we really need to revisit your definition of the word 'Happy'. 

"Happy Friday's Eve" - I am sitting on my hands so I don't take a swing at you. Yes, tomorrow is Friday. And the day after that is Saturday. Snaps for you for knowing the days of the week. Do you want a cookie? 

"Happy Friday" - wow, we all made it to the end of the week and I didn't actually assault you. I guess that is something to be happy about! 



ps. I hate the word 'Insert'
