Appreciating Some of the Shittiest Cultures

                                                                                                                                         

       A long, long time ago I went to a place called college. In college, I was supposed to learn some invaluable things about myself and the world that would propel me into a successful career, where, thanks to  the shimmering treasure chest of information I had obtained, I could fly on wings made of $200 textbooks and the pearls of wisdom they offer over a glorious Reading Rainbow and into the sunset that was the fulfillment of my most extravagant dreams, which included but were not limited to having a money bin that I could go swimming in like Scrooge McDuck, and owning a hovercraft.




       Well if I were given the chance to do it all again, I would probably travel to England or Australia and go to uni instead, because the shit they taught me in college turned out to be worthless, and I've always been curious to find out what this whole uni business is about. But when I really sit down with a cold cup of raspberry lemonade and some cheese toast on Armistice Day and am honest with myself, I have to admit that only about 90% of the blame for my underachievement should go to the idea of college, while the other 10% falls squarely upon yours truly, and a few other things. 


For example, this.


       But let me come to my own defense and say that some of the shit they taught there really was as retarded as Sarah Palin with a brain injury as a contestant on Press Your Luck.






       I remember having to take all these classes in humanities, and simply being in awe of the fact that these people did not understand that there was only one humanity and not several. I mean you work at a freaking university, people. And even if it were changed to the correct singular form, it would still be a pretty vague discipline if you ask me. I can't think of anything that could not by some stretch of the imagination be considered a humanity, and if you're trying to tell me that anatomy isn't a humanity, well that's just stupid. So why don't you just go and read a book by some boring-ass dead guy, because I have nothing to say to you. Talk to the hand.



       
       Or if you really wanted to do something masochistic you could sign up for a course in cultural diversity. If your experience is anything like mine was, you will find it to be a steaming pile of humanity. It would probably be best if I just tell you what I learned.






       The Japanese are a fucked-up people. This is well documented throughout history and is very evident today. If you think it's normal to censor the pubic hairs of a lady who is shitting into a man's mouth, then there is a 100% chance of you being Japanese. If you just bought a human head from a vending machine, then I have bad news for you, you are a Japanese person. However, they have the strongest teeth of any country in the world. The average Japanese tooth is strong enough to break diamonds.







                                




       Americans have been called every name you can imagine, such as the stupidest fucking fatty fucks and entitled dunce-cunts on the planet, and I am not going to add to that by saying that they are the tackiest trashiest most wasteful pieces of arrogant crud-fuck this world had ever spawned. That would be gratuitous as this has all been said already. But what I will say is that they have an exoskeleton made of resilient chitin that makes them almost invincible.




       Germans are incapable of sneezing. A German person may feel the urge to sneeze for months and even years at a time, which is maddening. Sausages are a welcome distraction.




       Midgets can spray a foul liquid from special glands in their anus as a defense against predators.




       British people are virtually immortal. Currently the youngest person in Britain is three centuries old.




       Every African is given a magic marble at birth. They have to carry it around with them at all times.




The often painful process of cultural assimilation.







Italians have a genetic disposition to be exceptionally good at tether ball.




       But the one thing I actually liked about the class was that they didn't teach us that everyone was the same. That's why they called it cultural diversity. They taught us that everyone was vastly different, so much so that a person coming of age in one culture could never completely understand and identify with another no matter how long they lived in it, which was perfectly fine, that we were beautifully and impossibly different like that. And that was kind of gay, but I also enjoyed it. And speaking of gay I am damn proud of New York. And speaking of gay as in merriment, today is my birthday. So everyone take a day of rest and enjoy yourselves, not only because it's Sunday, but because it was on this day that I rather unceremoniously slid out of my mother's vagina. Like a boss. Peace to Dirt Dog.

  8. My chitin exoskeleton wishes you a happy . . . Aw, the fuck do I care? I'm American! Let's drink beer out of cans with color-changing cold indicators and have bacon (woot, you see what I did there, yes? ) on sticks . . . made from old beer cans (or old bacon).

    Happy birthday. May it be the gayest.

  9. @Intraman, their academic heads would explode.
    @prisoner art, no but someone on the internet is.
    @Drake, that may be, but ridicule is the least of what she deserves for wearing that shirt.
    @Mrs. Pickle, I find them deep within the sphincter of the internet. 4gifs is a good enough place to start.
    @phairhead, thanks
    @Heidi, thanks
    @Nicole, thanks. It already has been.

  10. Ok an itemized list here of things to mention:

    1.) Happy Fucking Birthday Bro! Have a damn great day.
    2.) Way to go New York. Glad to see that another state has decided that every person has the right to be happy/miserable for the rest of their life.
    3.) Haters gonna hate
    4.) I, too, feel that college did not prepare me for the outside world. But I also know I didn't take the opportunities that could have given me a better chance to. Sooo lazy, and too many parties.
    Finally, 5.) All cultures suck. Fuck 'em.

  11. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May your life be filled with vaginas, and...yeah, that's about it.

    I loved this post! The pictures made me laugh, and your writing style cracked me up, as usual. The Japanese part, especially. Too bad that you didn't do one on the Chinese.

    YOU'RE HILARIOUS and you're one of my favorite bloggers.

    (:

  14. Happy Belated Day of Sliding from Birth Canal.

    I had to watch that gif of the wheelchair ladies like five times. Getting flipped off by them is just the icing on the cake.

  15. Man, you certainly have a way turning a single blog post into an hour long event. Some funny stuff in here, and I think you hit all the stereotypes pretty well....sorta.

  23. hey, is it true that if you get a midget in a headlock, he has to grant you three wishes?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Happy belated birthday.

    This post? Made my morning. I could not have been more delighted to see Lovecraft's O-Face AND the chat between Mario & Luigi while I was eating my oatmeal.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me find someone who is motherfucking BRILLIANT to read.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @Rafa, yes, but there may be a cruel twist to said wishes. Like you may ask for an infinite amount of pizza, and you will get it, but it will come with horrible acid reflux. And then he will spray you with his anal scent glands.

    ReplyDelete
  26. LOL!
    I love the Mario-Luigi Omeagle conversation.

  38. This is so much goddamn goodness that I don't know where to start. I'm taking H.P. Lovecraft with me, and the next time I have sex I will make that face. I will turn the reading lamp on and point it at my face so that it will be seen by whomever I am having sex with.

    I also like "descent," but I am a spelling geek.

    Thanks for improving my sex life. And thanks for finding me as well.

  44. Happy late beerday Elliot. I'd say the Japanese are all weird folks but I'd be generalizing, so I'm keeping that to myself.

    ReplyDelete
  45. very well written post. Am in college now and found it pretty spot on.

    ReplyDelete
  46. See? That's what you missed. What is wrong with America is the unceremonious squeezing through the birth canal. What of the party hats and confetti? What of the liturgical hymns and incense? I still resent my children for being all listless and barely breathing when they were born. Assholes.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Good post, there's nothing to not like here

  60. I think you are the only other being on this earth who has watched Harold and Maude, and The Old Man & The Sea - Fantastic.

    Education in the states is antiquated. Yes, very unpatriotic, but if we can lynch mob Cookie Monster, we can learn to accept we are one of the most under educated nations in the world, simply due to sheer greed and laziness.

    How you've found this many followers that don't harpoon you for stating it how it is, I have no idea. It must be those wicked unicorn and rainbow skills. My blog is pretty tame, and I usually catch an earful. You're like the dark underlying thoughts we all have, but are forced to shush.
    I'll have to come by again.
