I spent most of last week on ‘planes, trains and automobiles.’ Unlike Steve Martin and John Candy in the iconic film of the same name, I suffered only minor delays in my journeys, but was constantly annoyed by one group of travelers —
Backpackers
Backpackers clog the aisles of both airplanes and trains and, for reasons unbeknownst to me, appear to have no idea of the additional girth their over-the-shoulder luggage adds to their body. They careen down the center aisle, bumping people on either side (and behind when they need to back up).
Apparently the backpack cushions their body from all collisions too, because they never seem to notice or feel the need to apologize.
So, if any backpackers are reading this, take note the next time you travel. You leave behind a wake of bruised body parts and bad attitudes…
And they all have your name on ’em.
Sensitive much?
“Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.” -Steve Martin
I saw We are the Millers this week and did not puke once.
In fact, I am confounded why a majority of movie critics were so harsh toward the comedy.
Perhaps I have seen too many R-rated comedies, but I think the “offensive content” in Millers pales in comparison to The Hangover trilogy or, say, This is the End.
The movie actually supported family values, for cripes sake…albeit in a subversive, round-the-bend way.
So ignore the critics like you usually do and laugh a lot. If you find it offensive…
Well, consider that a bonus.
