things I don’t get.

Filed under: angsty — meg @ 10:59 am

Scientology. Just in general.

People who use Internet Explorer. Exclusively. It’s like saying you’ll only drive a Pinto because you like the “ride.”

Why would anyone drink something called a “Slurpaccino?” It sounds like an Italian curse word.

Why do coin-op dryers always stop just before things are dry? HOW DO THEY KNOW?

Tea Tree oil. Is it made from tea? Trees? Does tea grow on trees? Or bushes? I guess “Bush Tea Oil” is a little less appealing.

The appeal of Jay Leno, Jared Leto, or Janet Reno. And also… why the hell did that sentence make me laugh so much?

Why has no one started an industrial/ballet band called Tulle? I just laughed at myself again.

How are things like fungus and bacteria and mold and jellied animal juices the most expensive foods in the world? It’s like a raccoon opened a gourmet grocery, shortly after raiding someone’s garbage.

    Too lazy to answer the questions below, but the Crocs question had me laughing. Especially since there’s that ENTIRE STORE on Robson dedicated to Crocs. It struck fear in my heart ;)

    Ok… the Slurpaccino is awesome.

    I don’t like coffee. I love Timmy Ho’s Iced Capp (it tastes like a Coffee Crisp slurpee). But the Slurpaccino is a different beast again. It is a true slurpee, but it tastes like a sweet coffee flavoured candy.

    Plus I was suckered in by 7-11’s cross-promotion with the new Simpsons Movie - I bought it in a “Squishie” cup!

    Honestly? Those things are MADE OF OIL. OIL SLURPEES. I CAN’T HANDLE IT.

    Poor Jared. He was a very sweet and extremely hot teenage boy when he and I dated for a bit. I think he’s gotten a bit big for his britches but he truly has the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen and he was a great dancer when he was in high school. I think he’s far more handsome when he’s not trying so hard.

    Coffee slurpee is just WRONG. WRONG I tell you.

    All slurpees should be coke flavored.

    “Tulle.”

    Ha HA ha!

    jay leno, jared leto, janet reno: it’s the alliteration . that or it’s the start of an awful sitcom.

    Whoever told that that Janet Reno had appeal of any kind at any time?

    It smells bad, you make it pricey, call it gourmet and voila! instant bestseller.

    i think tea tree oil comes from the ‘ti tree’ which comes from australia and has some other fancy scientific name as well. i could very likely be wrong though.
