Slim Pickins: Corner Cutting Season Has Begun – The Story of How That Shitty Franchise Starbucks Is Trying To Save A Buck or Two…

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=aOvUsHxFSAeM

So that’s it?

No more decaf after noon?

See I don’t even drink coffee, but yet I care!

Because it is a symbol folks

This little decaf cutoff is the first sign of corner cutting in 2009

And this shit can (and most likely will) get contagious

What’s next?

No complimentary bread when you go to an Italian restaurant?

No chips and salsa on the table when you go eat Mexican?

No free glass of water at a diner!!!!!

Imagine having to pay for that glass of water at the diner…

That shit would hurt

What kind of world do we live in people?

And you know what, fuck Starbucks!

You would think those bastards are saving enough with all the dimly lit stores they have

Ever notice that shit?

You walk in to dunkin donuts and you can see!!!

You walk into a Starbucks and your not sure if they are selling crack or coffee behind the counter…

I never liked that…turn the fucking lights on scumbags!!!

Let’s Just Take A Moment To Twist The Knife A Little…(The Story Of How Rudy Giuliani Looks Oh So Foolish A Mere 4 Months Later)

Not so long ago

A man

A very foolish man

Got on a stage at the Republican National Convention and got his panties in a ruffle

Once he was done speaking it was clear Rudy Giuliani had earned himself the Player Hater Award of the New Millennium

For those of you lucky enough to miss it, check it out:

Wow

See, the reason why you don’t do things like this (besides the fact that it further confirms that you are a tool) when it’s not your campaign at stake, is because you never know what could happen and how foolish you could look a few months down the line for defending a situation you never had control of from the beginning…

Perhaps the funniest part of the whole thing, and also a true testament to just how much of a loser this man is, is during his own paltry little campaign, he never got half as enthusiastic as this!!!

No, instead he just followed that remarkable plan of campaigning in “just Florida…”

But now that there are television cameras, reporters, and an audience, and all of a sudden you’re a comedian?

Nice try pussy…

So, fuck you Rudy, from all of us here at And This Is My America!!

You think Obama’s rise is that of something that can only happen in America?

No, you prancing around the country glorifying, exploiting, and capitalizing off a monumental tragedy is something that can only happen and be accepted in America!!!

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest folks :)

Oh Marty, How’s About We Give Happiness a Shot (no pun intended)

got_mlk

So it’s Martin Luther King Day and where am I?  Sitting at home with a hot titty in one hand, a cold beer in the other?  NOPE.  At the local dive shining a bar stool with my ass?  WRONG AGAIN…  You faggots guessed it, I’m at work, shoveling shit!  Not precisely what Doctor King had in mind for me I’d say.  I never actually heard his ”I Have A Dream” speech in its entirety, but if his dreams are anything like mine, they revolve around mountains of cocaine, lottery winnings, fast cars and an incredibly intoxicated Elisha Cuthbert.

Good God Almighty

Good God Almighty

But enough of this dream bullshit, I live in the real world, and in the real world my skinny ass is working.  Well working, writing this jackass post and staring longingly at that sweet photograph I posted above.  Elisha sweetheart, I’ll possess you one day.  Bitch, I’ll own you like my Hasidic landlord owns my apartment building, inside and out babe, inside and out.

work

Usually, at this sweatshop I call a job, we get out relatively early on the holidays which we’re forced to work.  I’m not getting any goddamn OT to be wasting what’s left of my youth here today, so I like to think getting out a few hours early isn’t that big a deal.  Of course 95% of my office isn’t here, it’s just my team and my boss;  I’ll call this lanky ovarian cyst ”Reba” for anonymity’s sake.  Everyone else has slept in, the streets are empty.  Hell anyone making over $3.25 an hour is in the comfort of their own home, farting under the sheets and pulling them over an unsuspecting lover’s head.  Everyone laughs, they dry hump for a few minutes then once again it’s off to dreamland.  Not me though.  I’m here.

dante1

Like I said, usually we get out early on the holidays.  But what does Reba, my fucking rock-a-billy dyke of boss do?  She says ”when AND IF, she deems fit” we can leave early.  Which basically is her telling the staff that we’re powerless to repel the stagnant waft of her stinking saggy vagina until she feels like putting the lid back on that cauldron between her legs.  I mean what the motherfuck?  Martin Luther King Jr., this poor bastard gets his ass shot off while he’s trying to enjoy a smoke outside his hotel room and for what?!  He dies fighting for civil rights and here I am getting my rectum violated all over the workplace!  I got the system’s foot so far up my boney white ass I got a Nike swoosh tattooed on the roof of my mouth. 

Sad days.

So Apparently This French Dude Wouldn’t Shut The Fuck Up For 5 Straight Days…

kids-covering-ears2

Jeez, shut up already....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090118/ts_afp/francerecordoffbeat

…and somehow that’s going to get him into the Guinness Book of World Records

Insane…

Now, I don’t want to directly hate on this gentleman, Lluis Colet, because he is simply trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.

But, I’m just not sure how seriously I can take the worlds longest speech record, when he is talking for 5 straight days.

Simply because at some point, some of those words have to be frivolous.

There is just no way he is talking for one complete work week about pure substance filled rhetoric.

It would be the equivalent of me getting the record for longest movie made, and just filming nonstop for a month about nature.

As if somehow, after the first 30 minutes or so out of the month, that shit wouldn’t get boring!

You guys wouldn’t give me credit for that…

You guys wouldn’t even watch that shit!

But, he apparently discussed Salvador Dali, one of his favorite painters, as well as Catalan language and culture for the entirety of his speech…

Definitely noteworthy topics, but for 5 straight days god damn!

And they are claiming this is straight, so does that mean he was still talking while he was pissing and shitting all week???

Yeah, see…

These are the things we need to validate (that no one wants to ask) before we can truly confirm the authenticity of this record…

Sorry Mr.Colet, we are a group of skeptics here at And This Is My America!!!

I’m Sick of Hearing This Bullshit About Mickey Rourke’s “Comeback”

before/after (yeeeesh)

before / after (yeeeesh)

That motherfucker never left.  He’s been acting in movies both good and horrible (mostly horrible) since the early 1980′s.  The only thing that makes his performance in The Wrestler a “comeback” is that he might actually win an Academy Award for it instead of a fucking Razzie like his role in Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man.

Since I’m pretty sure 99% of you could give a shit whether Mickey Rourke lives to be a thousand or drops dead of a heroin overdose today, I’m going to be brief. 

They say he’s been on a ten year break.  A TEN YEAR BREAK?!  Are you all nuts?  Am I the only one who remembers these films:

1. Domino – 2005 (*starring)
2. Sin City – 2005 (*starring)

*It’s looking to me like 2005 was his “comeback” year.

3. Man On Fire – 2004
4. Once Upon a Time In Mexico – 2003
5. Spun – 2002
6. Get Carter – 2000
7. Animal Factory – 2000
8. Buffalo 66
9. The Rainmaker
10. Bullet
*I’m not even counting the 30 or so B-Movies he’s acted in over the years as well.  The guy has been in 62 films, 27 of which were in the last ten years.

Now if this is considered being “out of work” then I know a slew of actors and actresses that would love to have his unemployment problems.  I’ve loved Mickey Rourke for years and I continue to enjoy him, AS AN ACTOR.  As a person giving interviews not so much.  I’d rather watch a fresh booger dry on the bathroom wall than listen to him mumble and stutter about his so called trials and tribulations.  His story is neither new nor original, he was young, he was rich, he got fucked up on drugs and ego, then he vanished; Fatty Arbuckle wrote the handbook on that move way back in the 1920′s.

An All Time Low – Selling Your Underage Daughter For Beer (and other petty goods)…

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28629054/

I’m not a fan of children

But to me, if I did take that route I would think my child would be worth more than 100 cases of beer and $16,000!!!

Oh, and some meat…meat?

Since when did rib eyes and pork shoulders get thrown into an arranged marriage???

Apparently, there’s more to the story – I have even read there were cases of Gatorade and soda thrown into the dowry as well…

Terrible

Gatorade?

The meat is bad enough but I just can’t see myself sitting there negotiating this shit and being like, “Yeah, on second thought your going to have to throw in a few cases of lemon lime and fruit punch Gatorade…the 20 oz.’s too!”

Well, apparently this class act is in police custody and being charged with human trafficking…

Good luck explaining that one on your next resume buddy!

That might be up there with dog fighting and hate crimes as some of the scummiest things to have to claim on a job application

I mean let’s be real, even murder in certain situations can be more noble than selling your underage daughter for some steaks and soda…sorry folks but that’s just me…

And this is my America…

The Great Taco Bell Wedding of 2009 – A True Recession Special

Why wouldnt you want to get married here???

Why wouldn't you want to get married here??? - It almost looks like a church from the right angle anyway, right?

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=cp_gkc1bv4tg81&show_article=1&catnum=9

He proposed on New Year’s Eve and, because they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there.

“I would never have expected in my life in working here there would be a wedding,” restaurant manager Carl Hamlow said.

When the going gets tough…we all gotta get a little creative…

But this couple from Normal, Illinois (go figure) has taken creativity (and bizarreness) to a place man never imagined possible!!!

Paul and Caragh Brooks made history Friday afternoon by exchanging their vows inside of a Taco Bell

I kid you not…

I guess the most shocking detail of this creepy little story about a man from Illinois and his Australian-born wife is the entire wedding cost them a mere $200!!!

With the average cost of a wedding in the United States coming in just under $29,000 – The Brooks are modern day economic geniuses in the minds of us here at And This Is My America!

Sure, people were eating Gorditas and Nacho Supremes right next to them as they experienced perhaps one of the most romantic moments in their probably mostly uneventful lives…

And sure, they probably took a clique photo with the whole staff that will hang under the Employee of the Month plaque on the wall right above the gumball machine in between the mens and ladies room…

But hey, I can guarantee you all that the reception party (at a local crystal meth spot) will have all the crack cocaine and malt liquor their little hearts can desire!

So to Paul and Caragh, I wish you guys the best of luck and I hope you have a wonderful time honeymooning at some rundown motel in the local strip mall that’s adjacent to the Taco Bell!!!

***As a shockingly cute side note, Paul and Caragh already had the same last name…now is that not fate or what…

Aww…

The Unemployment Chronicles – #2 – Just To Confirm, Shit Is Still Bad…And Kind Of Getting Worse…

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-01-09-jobless-rate-december_N.htm?csp=34

Not to completely sound like a whiny little bitch…

But since this time, I am actually in the report, its fair game…

Turns out the unemployment rate is now 7.2%, the highest since 1993

I don’t know dude…at this point there’s not much more I can say but “Poor Obama!!!”

This should be real fucking interesting come summer when the honeymoon is over – what will the initial reception of his transition be?

Who knows – But I’m definitely monitoring this shit closely because people let Bush fuck things up twice!!!

And it will be those sameeee people ready to crucify Obama after 3 weeks…

For now, all we can hope for is a stimulus and some jobs…

Mostly “off the books” jobs!!!!

I need to find one ASAP – delivering papers, washing cars, I don’t give a fuck I’m about to do it and ride out with these unemployment checks!

Other than that, I’m working on a few backup plans in case my “Fuck Corporate America!” plan doesn’t play out as smoothly as it does in my head…

For now, signing off…
