The Lemming Marches On: Word Association

While this is supposed to be WORD association, I am going to follow in Scott’s footsteps (does this mean we are creating a NEW meme?) and offer a full thought to each word.
What do you think of when I say…
- Beer - When there are so many fine micro-brews, how can people still drink Budweiser and Coors?
- Anorexic - It is so sad that the only way they can feel better about themselves is to kill themselves.
- Relationships - Am I alone in thinking that the phrase, “You only hurt the ones you love” is truly bizarre? Short of an act of terrorism, I don’t believe that I can hurt some random guy in Colorado.
- Purple - The music of Prince is often overlooked because people are spending so much time making fun of him.
- Power Rangers - I was in college when this show hit the airwaves. I have fond memories of a bunch of guys watching it every afternoon in Stoney’s room. I still wish I were the Red Ranger.
- Weed - I wonder if I have enough Round-Up to take care of the early weeds this year?
- Steroids - Armed with the knowledge of the signs of a steroid user, I find it humorous that Roid Monsters act indignant when they are accused of using.
- Cartoons - I love the classics on Boomerang. But, I find Jimmy Neutron (especially Sheen) absolutely hilarious!
- The President - Why on earth would someone spent a billion dollars to get a job that pays $400k/year?
- Tupperware - My mom used to have Tupperware parties. Do they still do those?
- Best Vacation - The one I am planning that ends with me being deserted on an island with my best friend Wilson.
- Santa Claus - Is it really a good idea to hire otherwise unemployed middle aged men for a duty where the job description says, “Santa will allow trusting parents to place children in their laps for holiday entertainment.” This will be done without specifying whether Santa or the child will be more entertained.
- Halloween - OK kids, here is your disguise, here is a bag, now go around to strangers homes and take ‘treats’ from them. Be back by 10pm.
- Bon Jovi - The greatest concert I’ve ever been to. Boise, Idaho 1989. Skid Row was the opening act.
- Grammar - Now come here and give your Grammar a big kiss!
- Facebook - Check mine out.
- Worst Fear - Right now? Going to graduate school and failing miserably. #2 Not getting into graduate school.
- Marriage - If marriage is an institution, and love is blind, does that mean that marriage is an institution for the blind?
- Paris Hilton - I couldn’t possibly give a damn!
- Redhead - There is a certain freakishness about them
- Blonde - How do you keep a blondes’ interest…. I’ll tell you later.
- Pass the Time - Working on my Grad School application.
- One Night Stand - I really should buy the 2nd one.
- Donald Trump - At first I thought he was really entertaining. Now I just think he should go back to what he knows best; haircare.
- Neverland - The #2 most visited theme park in California for 10 year old boys.
- Pixie Dust - The powdery remnants at the bottom of a bag of Pixie Stix.
- Vanilla Ice Cream - A great way to start a Banana Split!
- High School - A place of very highly concentrated assholes, that people seem to want to visit every 10 years.
- Work - A terrible way to spend most of your life in misery. So you should try to find something that you enjoy doing, then figure out a way to get paid to do it. (See Santa Claus above)
- Pajamas - I’m guessing that only Darrin Stephens and Ricky Ricardo wore these. Real men wear underwear, or go commando.
- Woods - Are aluminum and titanium drivers still called ‘woods’?
- Wet Socks - Nothing is more unsettling than stepping in ’something’ wet in your socks.
- Alcohol - As long as you recognize the fact and know your limits; alcohol is an appropriate temporary anesthetic for stress.
- Love - Wookin’ par nub…
OK, who’s next?
Pretty good ones. I like the one night stand. You really should have bought a pair so you’d be sure they matched!
