Alot is Better Than You at Everything

Oh my goodness you guys. I found this blog today called "Hyperbole and a Half." I don't know if anyone has heard of it, but I read this entry just now and laughed so hard, I cried. XD

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. XDD

This reminds me of a game I play with the Korean students. The word that is used NEARLY UNIVERSALLY in Korea that's just... wrong (besides official Konglish like "Fighting" I mean) is "Why"

When a kid is misbehaving, I look at them intently. Then they'll say "Why?" and I'll say "Because you should be paying attention. Or I'll call a kid, and they'll answer "Why?" and I'll say "Why what?" I'll humor a lot of their Konglish because they're still learning, but this is one place I give no room. I do outright explain that the answer is either "what" or "Yes?" not "Why" but they still don't seem to understand.

This is a quote from another of her articles. I feel it is worth noting.

When enough anger and hatred has accumulated inside of you, it will rupture through your pathetic sense of integrity and start spewing outwardly as if you are some sort of rage sprinkler, spraying your putrid hate all over anything that comes near you.

I love this blog. I can empathize with her on the being a responsible adult thing. It's a lot like how I feel.

I'm bookmarking this blog and am going to come back and read more. This is amazing.

I printed out a copy and posted it on the bulletin board in the break room at the Writing Center for the tutors to see.

Ha, ha! I read the ALOT monster post and now I'm working through the blog from the beginning. It's amazing. Not for kids though - there's some strong language.

Really? I nearly wet myself at the guy that ripped his shirt off after getting hit in the head with a blender. That guy was mean. I'd do that. I've done that. Well, not the shirt ripping part.

There should be a warning on this blog. It'll eat a huge amount of time as you gleefully read the archive for it, possibly causing social issues.

I read all of the popular entries yesterday, and I think my favorite one has to be about the fish. I was laughing so hard at that.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 4:53 pm

My favourite so far is where Allie is running a race (I think?) and she's thirsty and comes across a sprinkler and decides to drink from it. But the sprinkler churns out liquid fertiliser. This girl is crazy!

Oh my gosh, That was awesome! Well I know what I'll be doing for the rest
of the evening. lol
