Ain't No Rest For the Wicked

Daylight Savings maylight schmavings.

A brief history lesson:

The inventor of Modern Daylight Savings is George Vernon Hudson... an entomologist. In other words he studied insects for a living.

As the story goes, there was once an Earwig with high aspirations. Eager to make a name for himself and leave a lasting footprint on this world he crawled through the ear of this kiwi (Hudson was English born, but New Zealand raised) and into his brain eating the majority of his frontal lobe. The Earwig was then able to use mind control on Hudson and make the rest of us miserable for one day every spring.

What an actual earwig looks like:

Gross.

The inspiration behind that ridiculous story:

But I digress. The truth is this is a Pagan ritual put into place by Satan, so that the Jihadi's can reclaim the holy land.

That was my Pat Robertson impression of the week.  (Pat Robertson is the douche from that awful show 700 club.)

Seriously though...



What are we really saving here? One hour of daylight? If we really wanted to save ourselves something we would reset the clocks so Noon became 7am. That way none of us would be so miserable in the morning.

Could you imagine how pleasant that would be? People could wake up [all relaxed] at around 5 am (really 10am) do a light workout (actually have time to stretch!) and eat a well balanced breakfast before work. Obesity would drop 80%! Stress levels would be at an all time low. Gas prices and unemployment would decrease. Crime rates would drop. 2Pac and Biggie would collaborate on the baddest posthumous rap album of all time called Ready to Live.  There would no longer be fear of a 2Pacalypse. The world would become a Utopia.

Thanks for nothing George!


Not that it would matter. Mama always did say that the wicked are not allowed to rest. (Mama spoke proper grammar).

No MVP this week cause none of you jabronie's shared.

Jabronie of the Week is Mother Nature for the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan causing a Tsunami, costing many their lives. If you haven't already, please pray for Japan.

Tune in next week for my rant about NCAA Men's Basketball refs and their love affair with Coach K.
