the bottom one is funny (on a few levels), but the rest are a bunch of stale pop culture refrences.

Nick is definitely mad. Perhaps it stems from his secret stash of Ashlee Simpson CD's he hides from the rest of his family. Or maybe it's the redundancy in South Park episodes in recent seasons. Or perhaps it stems from his close identification with The Count. Whatever the case may be, he knows his attempts at sarcasm were unheard, bringing back a firestorm of memories from his childhood as a misunderstood todler. Desperate for attention, Nick would scream at his unattentive mother, "ONE ! TWO ! THREE !, " but mom would just tell him to shut up and eat his french fries. Later in life he never fit in with the other kids. His rotundness exacerbated by watching MtV in solitude and devouring potato chips like a front loader loading gravel. Little did we all know he was to be the real life inspiration for a character we all hold dear. It's Okay Nick, we know you're just really big-boned on the inside, and a softie on the out.

wow, talk about sour grapes.
if you look at the first 5 or so posts, youll actully see i said the nicest thing to that point in the thread! but since i explained why i disliked it, why not target me?
i doubt i can claim to be a "pop culture connoisseur," i just cant stand jokes about celebrities and their tabloid lifestyles. celebrities bore me, on top of which the jokes on those wristbands are so un-creative, its a pathetic on making people who do nothing but watch entertainment news shows laugh.
now if youll excuse me, i have to go charge my ipod and check myspace

I wanted to wear one at first because my uncle had cancer... and sadly it's back again... but you couldn't find them anywhere, now people are just wearing them for the fuck of it, so they've really lost their meaning.

The Narrator's Apprentice - where do you come up with this stuff? :lol:
Even though I could easily see myself being the target of one of your stories, I do have a sense of humor and hope that you post more often.
Your writing style seems familiar to another author, and I can't quite put my finger on it - but I don't expect you to deviate from your post-style and tell us. Keep up the good work. :applause:

Yeah, they used to mean something, but now it's just the latest craze.
Hell, I sell em at my store. They say different things on em, such as Hope, Dream, Peace, Love, Friendship, etc. And best of all, they go to the greatest charity possible! ME! :D
It's funny when the kids come to the store and look at em, and say, "oh, these aren't the Livestrong ones, these are just the fake ones"
Yep....fake rubber bands..... :roll:
Gotta love the world today
