How many monks could a chipmunk chip if a chipmunk could chip monks?
I'm sorry, but I was looking at the surprisingly loud little rodents scurrying around in front of my door this morning when the appalling title of this post occurred to me. Almost as appalling as this video:
Not that the loud chipmunks in front of my apartment are singing Beyonce songs. Well, not very well, at least. And not that this post is going to be about chipmunks. I mean, I like to mix it up here, but really. I have bigger fish to fry.
Like the worst person in the entire world.
I want to know, who do you think the worst person in the world? What are your criteria for bad? Let me give you an example. I don't know this guy's name, but god help me if I ever meet him with a hammer, the fucker is toast. My friend's son, who was 4-years old, was dying of brain cancer. It was clear that he was not getting better and there really was no hope, as he failed to qualify for the experimental treatment his doctors wanted to give him. He was being treated at St. Jude's, the best hospital possible. The tumor had spread to his spinal column and was blocking drainage of the spinal fluid. For whatever reason, that excluded him from the study. My friend went on the Internet and found a guy who said that his extract from horse urine, which he discovered, cured cancer. She was starting to convince herself that she should go out west with her son to see this guy. It killed me to tell her that if the guy had discovered a cure for cancer, he would have had a couple of Nobel Prizes for curing the one disease that statistically will eventually get you. (It only takes one cancer cell to get through and they are popping up in your body all the time. Thanks, immune system!) I told her, heartlessly, that there were better ways to spend the time she had left with her son. I resent that guy for making me do that to her.
So, preying off of cancer kids. Can you think of something worse?

It's all relative and it changes. The dude in the story you told, IS the worst person in the world, and you..you are right up there in the best category. thanks.

maybe not worse, but right up there in my book. Criminal gangs in Russia threatening to burn the houses and hurt the children of families awarded compensation for the deaths of their loved ones in a mining disaster unless they family give the gangs the compensation money. (sorry, horrible sentence and i know i can't spell worth toffey.)
No pliers and blow torch? You are milder than me.
Well, my anonymous chum, I am moderating my outrage because I might not be completely objective on this one.
Hey, other anonymous, the Russian mob has to turn a ruble. (I typed mod, which actually is kind of funny. To me.) What, are you going to take money from people who can defend themselves? Please. That's dangerous.
Kris, you are a dove, and do the world no favors by feeding my megalomania, even if you are right. :)
