Non Asshole of the Day


My Grammy:

My family is huge, I have 12 aunts and uncles on my mom's side alone and I have no idea how many cousins...too many cause my uncles can't seem to wrap it up. Anyways, it always amazes me that my Grandma remembers everyone's bday. I opened her card today and out falls five dollar bills and an IOU. It's about the best present I've ever gotten. I don't know they last time she had a paying job (she's in her 70s), but I can just imagine her pulling some money out of her bra and stuffing it into the envelope. Awwwww.

Query: Heeled Snow Boots? Fashion Forward or Oxymoron? You be da judge.


I ain't gonna hate on the girl, she was cute with her short coat, fitted jeans and ...heeled snow boots? This gave me pause...I mean, yes they completed the outfit and I'm sure her feet and calves were toasty. But won't putting 3inch heels on snow boots (meant to stabilize you on slippery surfaces) totally eliminate their original purpose?

Was she committing a fashion faux pas? What designer figured out that women are so vain that we would actually try to still look cute in freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions? My initial reaction was to nominate her as our special "Asshole, Winter 2007" but did she really do anything wrong?

As I looked down at my clunky $20 boots irreparably damaged from trudging through salt and not being washed off, I was wondering if I should invest in more fashionable snow boots myself.

This query must be solved my friends! please post your votes:

The Roach, The Boogie and The Midget



Twas an eventful week on the CTA my friends. As budget cuts loom, it's comforting to know that I'll always run across something totally outlandish and/or disgusting while riding the express:

The roach who tipped his hat: I was sitting in the back, trying to figure out how to put a hit out on both my bosses without it seeming suspicious, when I heard a British accent say, "Good Day Madam." I looked around to see who it was, low and behold, it was a very dignified roach sitting on the window sill. He then proceeded to tip his hat and scurry away. This may be a slight exaggeration, the point being, wtf was a roach doing next to me on the bus!?
Booger Fingers: Stumbling toward the backdoor of the bus to hop off, when I see an older woman, who had apparently mistaken her nose for the Klondike, ho was truly digging like there was gold up in there. Nasty ass then proceeded to put her booger fingers on every single surface she could find before hopping off. Makes you think twice about holding the rail with a bare hand.

Midgets need love to: It's an ongoing joke that I only attract certain kinds of men, that being the ones I don't like, who are short, and too old for me. Now the bus midget, who also goes to my gym (cause everybody goes to my gym apparently) seems to be a nice guy. But if I'm 5'5" and I'm looking down on you, we have a problem, a big problem. It's sad though, he's one of the few men I've met lately who is gainfully employed and actually seems decent. Maybe I'm being short-sighted (ba dum buh). I have a lot of growing to do as a person (te he he)
I am such an asshole.

As chosen by Buhster and Mr. Opinion...

THE ALL CAPS ASSHOLE


USING ALL CAPS IN YOUR E-MAIL DOES NOT MAKE YOUR MESSAGE ANY MORE IMPORTANT, NOR DOES IT MAKE PEOPLE READ AND RETAIN YOUR MESSAGE. IT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT, ASSHOLE.
