Top 10 Unnecessary Things

Posted on: March 26, 2008 10:49 pm
 

It's finally here... the top 10 list of unnecessary things from the unnecessary thread.  Sorry for the delay, but I've been travelling a lot for work, and a beautiful woman has been keeping me busy. 

I'm open to suggestions for revising this list if anyone has more ideas....  I know there are many things that probably deserve to be in the top 10, but there is only so much room, so this is what I have for now.

The screen names of whoever submitted each thing are in parentheses.

<drumroll>.......

 

10.  the platypus (sea_fan8)

9.  pea soup (Pats_Guy)

8.  mimes (Anika)

7.  getting drunk (spartan822)

6.  syncronized swimming (Anika)

5.  suicide bombers that floss (Anika)

4.  everything that comes out of Rosie O'Donnell's mouth (bostonsux)

3.  the WNBA (THowardFan53)

2.  threads about politics and/or religion on cbssports.com (spartan822)

1.  unpredictable weather (maliciousphenom)

 

A big thank you to all who contributed, whether they knew it or not!

Top 10 Unnecessary Things

I have to say I agree with 9 of your 10 posts...I take issue with #7.  Sometimes it's perfectly necessary to get drunk, like when your favorite team wins or loses, when you go fishing or golfing, when you get home from a hard days work, when you get home from church...getting drunk has always helped me wet my pants and curse at an alarming rate.  Oh yeah, it makes me really want to look at boobies....wait, maybe I'm wrong...I agree with #7, getting drunk is totally unnecessary.

Top 10 Unnecessary Things

Great comments OKman.  Getting drunk is certainly very necessary in certain situations.  For instance, I am travelling to Las Vegas tonight so it is absolutely necessary that I drink on the plane.  Also, if I wasn't drunk at my bachelor party then those photos of me humping a newspaper stand and running into the Atlantic Ocean in my birthday suit wouldn't exist.  Those are necessary photos to my life story.

Boobies rock.  Can we get an amen from the congregation on that.

Top 10 Unnecessary Things

I agree.  Some times getting drunk is not only necessary, but a must!  How about this for #7.  Well paid professional athletes running underground illegal ventures for money. (probably a better way to word that)  But Vicks dog slaughtering gambeling ring, and a number of pro athletes selling drugs?  How unnessesary is that?  They don't have enough money to blow already?  Just a thought.

Top 10 Unnecessary Things

I believe the #1 unnecessary thing is to wipe a persons arm with a cotton swap soaked in rubbing alcohol ,or some other antiseptic, right before you administer death by lethal injection. Think they're afraid of infection?

Great stuff!!  My suggested replacement for #7 is: closing the bathroom door when you live by yourself.

closing the bathroom door when you live by yourself

Great suggestion, Warped!  That is definitely top 10 material.  When I lived by myself I never closed the bathroom door.

My reason for #7 was that I don't need to get drunk to have fun.  Actually, I have the most fun when I'm just good and buzzed, but not drunk.  And I know there are lots of people who agree with me, they're just not commenting here.....  I hate that feeling when you know you've had too much to drink and you have to run to the bathroom to avoid making a big mess.... that sucks.

I have the most fun when I'm just good and buzzed, but not drunk.I suppose I tend to agree now that I'm not in my 20's anymore and also getting way too sloppy just pizzes my wife off.

I hear you there.  My girlfriend is the same way. 

Several more unnecessary things:

 - talking about past girlfriends/wives with your current girlfriend/wife other.  really, what's the point, it can only be bad.

 - talking to your girlfriend on the phone (when in a long distance relationship) for 3 hours a night.  I love her, but c'mon, I have to sleep sometime.

 - sometimes just talking in general is unnecessary.  I think you know what I mean, guys.
