Posh is annoying


With the Beckham's moving to LA it seems we won't get a break from the tabloid reports on the British Royal Family. But, I don't think I am alone in my annoyance for the skinny rich former Spice girl (or any skinny rich woman for that matter).
Victoria Mary Clarke of the independent.ie reports, "I have never liked Posh Spice. In fact, I would have to say, if I were telling the truth that I have actively disliked, possibly even despised her for nigh on 10 years now. This, in case you don't know me, is some achievement on her part."

"I am that extremely annoying type of person who likes to see the good in everyone. Even Hitler, I am sure had good qualities. He was a vegetarian, after all. I don't believe in judging people, because it isn't possible to know what kind of life they are living unless you step into it yourself."

"I have ferocious rows with people who think mass murderers and rapists and paedophiles should be hung drawn and quartered without mercy, because I feel the need to examine their childhoods for evidence of trauma. I didn't think they should have executed Saddam Hussein, because the people doing the executing were meant to represent Christian values and Jesus did not advocate executing people, he advocated forgiveness and compassion."

"I wonder, though, if Jesus would have had a hard time tolerating Posh Spice. Maybe he would have forgiven her, but would he have secretly wished she didn't go around with that pouty bitch expression on all the time? Would he not have squirmed a bit when he saw the fake boobs squished into the black corset thing? Might he have had words with her about the obsession with being the most lollipop-shaped person on the planet? One wonders."

"Not being Jesus, myself, I have tried and failed to love Posh just exactly as she is. I find it hard not to think of her as hideous and vulgar. All those stories about how much money she has (and spends) upset me. Coming from a more Bohemian background myself, wherein one is taught to despise the wealth that one wishes one could have, I am horrified every time she buys David another £100,000 watch. What could he possibly do with all those watches? I could live on one of them for years, quite comfortably. And how eco-unfriendly can you get, demanding not one but two private jets for the Spice Girls reunion tour?"

I might get RLS


This is interesting... I might just adopt a case of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) to get back at my husband who snores so loud he wakes up our child in his room down the hall.

Check out this story, The Truth About Snoring by Keely Brown.

"What do you get when you cross the world’s worst snorer with someone with the world’s worst case of Restless Leg Syndrome?"

"I’m not sure, but I know it’s mighty loud and it moves around a helluva lot."

"Reading in yesterday’s AP wire that some doctors are finally getting around to admitting that Restless Leg Syndrome is real and not imaginary, my first thought was, 'Huh?'"

"Saying that RLS is imaginary is like saying that snoring is imaginary. Come on, youse people in the medical profession!"
