Illiteracy finally makes sense

Do yourself a favor: if you have a bumper sticker on your car that doesn't get you out of a speeding ticket, scrape it off.

I've seen way too many boring, stupid bumperstickers of late and they're no longer amusing me. I understand Semper Fi, the POW one, maybe the little star for people on a police force. Those get you out of tickets.

The ones imposing your belief on gun laws, abortion, Barack Obama? Please. You're not going to convince anyone by putting a catchy phrase on your Dodge Neon's bumper.

"His Pain, Our Gain," has never, and will never make me go to church.

There are other stupid one's too, and you know which ones I'm talking about, the get off my bumper because I'm a real badass ones.

"If you're into guns raise your right hand," accompanied with Hitler giving the stiff-armed salute. Yes, they go as far as bringing Nazis back. Nazis.

I'm not saying expressing your beliefs aren't respected, I'm saying there must be other points in the day you must've had a better time to do it. Or is it that I'm missing the entire point of these car-side bulletin boards? Is it that you want to express your beliefs all day, even when you're driving? Is it that we shouldn't adjust our impositions to water-cooler conversations? That simple, subliminal advertisements are effective and I, in fact, will be persuaded by these subconsciously?

I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but I do know this: if I had the choice between being illiterate or understanding these messages, I would choose illiteracy.

Now, how do I go about unlearning the English language?

Thing I did while bored today:
Looked up NCAA football records. Does the name Timmy Chang ring a bell anyone?

Other useless garbage:
1. Marilyn Milian is one bad ass judge, but the People's Court theme is so much more bad ass.
2. People shouldn't get confused when you say "Happy Thanksgiving" three or four days after the fact.
3. Heart-shaped cupcakes don't necessarily mean anything besides the person only had heart-shaped muffin pans.
4. "When it comes to yoga, breathing is Number 1," says FitTV's smoking hot yoga instructor. I will never do yoga.
5. The Super Wal-Mart in Northbridge has better deals on fruits and vegetables and hotter chicks working. True Story.
6. Two of my friend's mothers work at that very Wal-Mart. That's not mom joke as much as it is truth.

You should try yoga at least one. Not trying to convert, but you should keep an open mind.

It is important to examine what comes out!

Here are some tips. A healthy poop will be:

1. Golden brown, which is due to pigments formed by the bacteria in the gut and bile from the liver. You want to make sure the color is normal because that tells you a lot about what’s going on in your gastrointestinal tract

2. Formed into one long shape. Dr. Michael Levitt, an Australian colorectal surgeon who has written a book called The Bowel Book, says that the healthy human stool resembles the shape and consistency (although not the same color) of an unripe banana. Dr. Oz says " You don't want [pieces].” Some experts disagree, saying they don’t have to be well- formed. Patrick Donovan, N.D., a naturopath in Seattle, WA says “Stools don't have to be well- formed logs. They can disperse in the toilet water; they can break down."

3. Nearly odorless
4. 1 to 2 inches in diameter and 18 inches long
