A few years ago there was a popular sitcom on television called “Everybody Loves Raymond.” I never loved Raymond. In fact, I wish him dead. I guess the title was supposed to be sarcastic. His wife was a bitch as most television women are because most television writers are gay men, his parents were intrusive because most television writers are loners who come from broken homes, and his brother was a big idiot because most television writers are short and want to make tall people look like idiots. There are some things in life everybody does love. Well, maybe not love. These are generic things nobody dislikes. If you say you hate anything I mention then you’re probably bitter and should think about writing a TV show.
Music: Queen
Everybody likes Queen. You’ll never meet a person who absolutely loves Queen, but everybody can find one song to enjoy. Even the Chick-Fil-A guy admitted in a recent interview that he tries to let his farts out to the beat of “We Will Rock You.” It’s a very steady beat. One only Woody Harrelson cannot get correct. Personally my favorite Queen song is Princes of the Universe as it reminds me of the TV show Highlander. I never liked the show much, it’s the premise I am in love with. You chop off someone’s head, you get their powers. Why is this not the most popular video game of all time? Oh and here’s Woody Harrelson proving that marijuana does not make you better at keeping a beat.
Food: Pizza
Everybody likes pizza. Someone told me recently how much they hate pizza. She’s dead now. I killed her. The cops asked me straight up what happened. I explained the situation then we went out for some slices. What’s great about pizza is it has everything you will need in a meal. Cheese, sauce, bread, and meat normally make a pizza. There are so many varieties if you cannot find something to love about pizza then I probably cannot find something to love about you.
(I can’t tell if that’s pizza dust on the counter or this is a Courtney Love Cocaine Pizza)
Sport: Women’s Gymnastics
Everybody likes women’s gymnastics. For different reasons too. Women like it for the grace, the competition, and how it empowers women. Men like it for reasons which would get me arrested. Women’s gymnastics is a sport nobody really cares about or takes seriously. You can watch it without much devotion. A female gymnast is washed up as soon as she’s old enough to vote. Kind of sad really. All those tiny Russian girls are 20 years old and their lives are practically over. I hear America is nice. You can work as a dancer, a waitress, and a Ross just opened up near me. This was a cheap plea to any Russian gymnasts who happen to read this that I am willing to marry you in exchange for a green card. The offer expires when you get up to 115 pounds.
(In about a month Aliya Mustafina will be 18 and I can say dirty things about her Communist ways. I actually got this photo from typing in “evil gymnast” into Google)
Religion: Buddhism
Everybody likes Buddhism. I know, someone is probably reading this in their church cloak with a human skull in their hand thinking I’m insane. Hear me out. What bad thing has a Buddhist ever done to anyone but themselves? In protest they light themselves on fire. I like this much better than other religions. Christians invade, Muslims infiltrate, Scientologists creep out, and Judaists whine. Buddhism to me is the Rodney Dangerfield religion. It’s about how life is all about suffering. Well yeah, but does that mean I should spend my life accepting how much suffering goes on in the world? Still, Buddhism is the most generic religion. Except for the Richard Gere gerbil fiasco, they’ve been pretty good.
(If Paris Hilton can support Buddhism I so can…nevermind. I can’t bring myself to support anything she does. “That’s hot.” – Paris Hilton upon seeing a burning priest)
Book: The Snowman
Everybody likes The Snowman book. You may not have heard of this book before, it was a favorite of mine as a kid. There are no words. Only pictures! It’s easy on the eyes. They even made it into a movie with really pretty music. Then the snowman melted at the end which was tragically sad. Who invented snowmen? Their life expectancy is entirely too short. I guess dancing with a snowman who dies later in the afternoon prepares you for how everyone you will ever meet dies one day. Snowmen are too grim.
(Spoiler Alert! The Snowman dies at the end after a lobotomy following an attack on Nurse Ratchet)
Comedian: Brian Regan
Everybody likes Brian Regan. He’s clean, he’s funny, and he’s a nice guy in person from what I hear. The only thing not to like about him is how in high school everybody would quote him. We get it, he likes Fig Newtons and so do you. There is nobody I hate more than people who quote nonstop. Do you have no original ideas? Wait, you probably don’t. You’re a 16 year old New Jersey native. You only joined the football team because it’s what everybody does. I think even Brian Regan would tell you to fuck off.
(Even raccoons like Fig Newtons and they’re very picky eaters)
Sexual Position: Any
Take what you can get. If you’re reading a blog you’re probably not very good looking anyway.
(My personal favorite sexual position)
Fun Activity: Zoo Trip
Everybody likes the zoo. Please, if you dislike zoos shoot your face. I get the kids running around can be annoying. You’re not going to the right zoos at the right times. As an avid animal lover yet for some reason a carnivorous meat eater (I’m complicated) I never can turn down the opportunity to go to a zoo. I think my dream job if I ever give up on trying to do anything interesting with my life would be to clean up animal shit in a zoo. I could develop a relationship with the animals. There’s always at least one hot chick working at the zoo. I could threaten to hit her with the shovel I pick up the lion poop with if she doesn’t flash me.
(“What does your dad do for a living?” “He cleans the shit out between hippo teeth.” I so want this job)
What is something generic you feel everybody enjoys? Change that. Not something you feel, something you know. We’re not nancies who talk about our feelings. We’re manly men who are always sure of ourselves. Tell me something you know everybody enjoys. You better not be wrong.
Can I get a half slice?
I thought Monday nights were the only nights you ate pizza. Need something to eat during wrestling.
Everyone enjoys naps. It’s a little bit of peace in the middle of the day.
NAPS. ARE. MY. FAVORITE.
I know, right? NOTHING is better. Nothing.
In fact, I’m about to take one right now.
I almost took a nap yesterday. I never take them. That’s what I get for taking “drowsiness may occur” medicine 6 times in a day without realizing.
You need to give it a try, young padawan.
My favorite position is on my stomach with my legs….Oh I shouldn’t share this because a) I am reading this blog so I am not good looking B ) You’re gay though you’re attracted to women .
Everybody loves a good fart joke.
Everybody loves naked time
Everybody loves red balloons.
I get a sense you like naked time with red balloons. Or at least something strange like that. Amirite?
lol Nope
What the hell is a ‘Judaist’?
You should come to San Diego and see a real zoo.
Until you get your dream job of shoveling shit ‘up’, you are killing time by shoveling shit ‘out’… (Ha!)
Judaist is the proper thing to call Jews now. Don’t you get KKK Monthly? It used to be weekly but we’re backing off a bit.
I’ve been to plenty of real zoos thank you very much. I’ve thrown popcorn at a bear’s face.
But San Diego has ‘the world famous San Diego zoo’. You have to say it that way… it’s the law.
But good shit… you know I meant good shit, right? … Mostly… good shit.
I actually feel offended. I’m not ugly and I’m reading your blog… Mind your words, Moose, a lady’s soul is easily hurt ;).
You are very right. I don’t know a person who has the guts to say (s)he doesn’t like Queen or pizza. It’s like saying ‘please please please beat me up!!’
As far as I’m concerned you’re a cyclops with one gigantic eye for a face. I could never insult the way you look. It would be a complete guess.
Everybody likes cloth, for whatever reason they need it. Think about it. Is there any group of people who do not like cloth for whatever reason they need it?
Cloth. Everybody likes a good piece of cloth.
Tarzan did not own many things. One thing he did own, cloth. You’re onto something…
LOL!!!!!
A couple of those I never heard of and a couple I just don’t like. Nope. But I’m not telling you which because I don’t want you to decapitate me. That’s not something most people would enjoy (well…the being headless part…I don’t know if it’s enjoyable to do the actual chopping but it seems like it would be hard work. Ew.)
Awwww….sweet snowman. I wonder if snowmen like pizza?
This post made me laugh out loud, for real. Not just the online LOL thing. But the guffaw-y one that can cause hiccups. Thank you!!!!!!
Everyone should like your posts.
🙂
Hey this was a nice compliment. You think you can go around from college cheerleading locker rooms all over the country and say this same thing? I’d be most grateful.
Everybody loves air conditioning, pasta, and the song “Sweet Child of Mine”. All three at once? Sheer bliss.
P.S. I fucking hate tall people. And also fig newtons.
A tall person eating a Fig Newton would be terrible. All the crumbs they’d drop on our heads without caring. Want to help me kill every tall person who is currently alive?
After a long first week back to teaching 6th graders i needed that laugh. So true about… Well everything.
Oh you’re a 6th grade teacher? So strange how lame I always thought teachers were until after I graduated. Most of you end up being pretty cool. I don’t blame any bitterness. Sixth graders stink.
I would say everybody loves chocolate but I know a couple of people that are meh about it and I think that’s what keeps me from getting close to them. What kind of person doesn’t like chocolate??
A person I want nothing to do with. I hate when people say something is too chocolaty. It’s like saying it’s too good. Stop trying to punish yourself and enjoy that cookie damn it.
EXACTLY.
I love the Snowman, pizza, and Queen. Fun post.
I also don’t know anyone who doesn’t love ice cream, vacations, and winning the lottery.
I bet there’s some fuddy duddy out there who doesn’t like ice cream. “It makes my teeth hurt.” Man up and enjoy your dessert.
These sort of remind me of that website about Stuff White People Like. You know, like The Gap, skiing, antique stores, stuff like that.
I met one person who didn’t like ice cream. But she was certifiably insane. And you’re right, who doesn’t like Brian Regan? He’s funny, he’s clean, you can relate to his stuff, what’s not to like?
I almost want to start a website called Stuff White People Don’t Like. I think it could have a lot more content. We’re whiners.
I’m not a huge fan of ice cream. The last time I remember eating it was at 4 in the morning without a spoon fresh from a convenient store freezer. I tried biting into the froziness and some blood came from my gums onto the Chunky Monkey. Put yourself through enough pain loving something and you’ll learn to hate it.
That story aside, ice cream is the bomb.
Everybody Loves ‘Ard Pete.
It’s mandatory.
Rule number one of your dictatorship?
Haha yeah, Rule two: See rule one.
