Double backlash

Please understand that I know I’m petty. I know that I think things I shouldn’t, but here’s the deal. So do you. Yes, you do.

I’m ready for double backlash. Backlash has passed us by, and I’m tired of it. A backlasher is someone who antagonizes popular notions, people and hotbed stories by degrading them. You know the guy I’m talking about. He buys the newest form of technology as soon as it’s available, then when the next generation comes out he’s trashing the first thing he bought. He points out how bad the #1 song on the Billboard chart is. He wants you to understand just how hip he is, how anti-culture he is. He should have a t-shirt that says, “Please listen to me, I’m lonely.”
Understand that this is not an indictment of someone who doesn’t like everything popular, but of those who go out of their way to ruin it for everyone else.

Examples of backlash:
Hating the hot new TV show (Friends, Desperate Housewives, etc)
Parents hating that their kids love Barney
Making fun of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, or any cute pop singer
Complaining about Mexicans taking all of our jobs in the US
Stating that you knew Lance Bass of NSync was gay
Repeating the story you heard about a guy who bought some groceries with food stamps and then got into his brand new Mercedes Benz.
Shouting above the music that Van Halen was better with David Lee Roth
People who complain about children in restaurants and airplanes.
White, male Christians who are “persecuted”.

You know what the problem is? Backlash people generally have more than a few mean bones in their body. Nice people don’t spend time on double backlash. I’d like to be that spokesperson.

So here’s a few things I’D like to see:
Barney pimp-slapping a soccer mom and leaving a dent in her minivan.
Britney Spears telling Kid Rock “You know what? You’re right. I lip sync cutesy pop songs and you’re ugly. But I can always write different songs, you skank”
Someone using food stamps at the grocery store, then turning around to everyone who was staring at them in line to say, “Don’t worry. I’m walking home, bitch!”
A three year old taking a dump on the lap top of the business traveler who insists on taking up three chairs at the Airport.

That’s double backlash and I’m ready for it.

Regular season wrap up

Ok, so we ended up 8-4. Many Dawg fans predicted as such, but probably had our losses dispersed differently. Me, I'm not sure I'm over losing to Vandy AND Kentucky in the same year. I will say that QB Matt Stafford has finally come around. The future looks pretty bright for the next few years (Holy crap, I sound like a South Carolina Gamecock fan!!!). But we laid an ass-whoopin on Auburn (who was ranked #5 at the time) and game back and beat the Nerds for the 6th straight time.

Anywho, we play Virginia Tech in the Chick Fil A Peach Bowl on 12/30 in Atlanta. This is, of course, God's way of getting back at me. You see, I live in Roanoke, Va - about 30 minutes from Blacksburg (home of the Virginia Tech Hokies). Believe it or not, Roanoke is the biggest town around Blacksburg. They have to come HERE to get their freak on. Anyway, I have to listen to these nitwits day in and day out talk about their Hokies. Don't get me wrong, they have a terrific football team now, but their glorious football tradition is about 10 minutes old. They had this QB named Michael Vick in 1999 and EVER since then, they've acted like they are perennial contenders. I just think they are Johnny-come-latelys. I mean, they didn't know how to tailgate until LSU showed them how back in 2002. Seriously. If you are a fan of a particular team, but you live in the heartland of another team, you know what I mean when I say I CAN'T STAND IT ANY MORE.

Now, I'm not making a prediction on the game. I could see it going either way. Both teams are on an upswing. But if we lose to VA Tech ........well, I think I'm going to have to move. My car, my house, my clothes, my cell phone ringtone - all Georgia Bulldog tinted. I guess I set myself up for that, huh?
