A Guest in the Maternity Motel

I debated how this post should have entered the blogosphere.  It could have had the personality, or lack thereof, of Steven Hawking .  If given a chance to get emotional and build up tears in its eyes, it could have came forward with a box of tissues and done a pretty fair impression of Speaker of the House John Boehner.  Maybe it could have been introduced as a product of what happens when Bill Gates doesn’t get a grip on your computer with all the Microsoft Updates and been nicknamed “Watson” the quick-witted electronic contestant from Jeopardy.  As cruel as this may sound, it would be very uncharacteristic of “Funny Bone Laugh Lines” if I did not mention it, but perhaps, it could have just stared at you with a look glazed like a cheap Krispy Kreme doughnut and began slurring incoherently replicating the LIVE reporter during the Grammys.  Any one of these stage appearances would have helped ratings; however, one in particular is considered to be the people’s choice award—strutting onto your computer screen resembling the egg costume that Lady Gaga had worn during her hideous performance of “Born This Way” on CBS last Sunday night.  I need not say anymore about that little getup. 
Now that I have you hot and bothered, similar to the symptoms of Bieber Fever, I’d like to chat with you over what is now possibly a cold cup of coffee about a baby’s life in the momma’s stomach. 
Since half of what a female eats goes straight to the young one, a food craving that a woman gets when pregnant is the child looking through the Yellow pages of a phone book and placing an order for takeout.  Ultrasounds, also known as a medical form of webcam, indicate a messy room from the get go and often finds the parents remarking to the unborn fetus in the video, “I love what you’ve done with place...”  Don’t be fooled, folks, your unborn child may say he’s recycling with all the drunken aluminum cans piled in the corner, but that’s just a front.  Be optimistic and convince yourself that he’s beginning to stuff that cashed-in money in your bellied mattress and saving for college.  Not to worry about the legal action he is about to take due to his violated rights to privacy.
Laid back as a reclining sofa bed, this little guy is at times seen watching reruns of “Three’s Company” and been known to squander the rent payment on the ol’ “oven” for visitation rights to the tanning bed.  A dark complexion, like that of George Hamilton’s, does not come easy or cheap.  Obviously, a huge Green Bay Packer fan due to all the kicking and jumping that took place the night of the Super Bowl.  Either that or he wanted to be born prematurely and slap Christina Aguilera for botching up the National Anthem. 
With cell phones being the lifeline to society, the still-developing baby signed up with a wireless plan to which unlimited texting enables him to alert the mother of his soon arrival.  If she missed the boat on that message, she is sure to become aware of the upcoming due date when she sees the words “U-Haul” on her next credit card statement.  Obama was questioning who had leaked his State of the Union Address before the deliverance—it was the unborn infant pulling a “Nixon” and configuring a wire-tapping scheme in a very Julian Assange sort of way. 
This little “bun” probably will have to Google the meaning of “fiscal responsibility” and will only read of Social Security from held over checkbook registers preserved in mothballs by his grandparents, but will not struggle with the enunciation of the words “Hand out.”  
Free High Speed Internet Available—A BIG sell to a conceived child wanting to primp and pamper himself in nature’s P.O. Box (with the stork being the Post Master General) for nine months.  This little perk, now installed in all 2011 moms, lets kids interact online and enroll in Pre-Preschool.  Instant messaging signals to the parent not to rush to the hospital because the soon-to-be newborn will just call a cab. 
Tummy security cameras catch him writing on the walls of the womb, “I will not make my mother do hard labor in the hospital” at least several hundred times.  His only saving grace from escaping a time-out was that this wall previously spoken of was made of dry-erase board-like substance and will therefore wipe right off.  Too bad twins weren’t expected; could’ve made Fridays Pictionary night inside the mother’s manufactured Metrodome. Although, he would have opted for the other half of the chalkboard be cork in order to pin up the latest Hooter Girls calendar, and if only his renter’s insurance would cover the malfunction to the Muzak pipeline…  Already learning that one can’t always get what they want in life.

Whistleblowing the Retailer's BFF

One month ago I unpacked my groceries on the kitchen counter, and much to my surprise found a picture on one of the bags of the blog entitled “Funny Bone Laughlines” and on top of the image a caption that read “Missing: Endangered Runaway.” I recalled at that time the fine print on the recyclable plastic material disclosing that this site was a strong nominee to portray the lead role in Hiatus, The Charlie Sheen Story.  So, if I may, a little advice to this sarcastic, written creation of facebook’s Lancer, Inc.: Come to the audition showing a supersized combo meal of the male cleavage and hamburger meat.  You’re a sure shoe-in for the part if you sell that internet booty which cyberspace blessed you with! 
Since I am classified as being a morning person by means of modern day electronics only (with the assistance of an alarm), I would like to devote only a small portion of this blog space to the real American genius’ of dawn’s crack—the early bird.  If anybody should call foul on such a race of people, it is me towards them.  Should I be discriminated against by not receiving a bountiful discount on the goods purchased because I can’t get my small-framed money making caboose out of bed early enough?  Perhaps, I should answer that question with a response that is short, yet carries a ringing in your ear comparable to a bad case of tinnitus--NO!  A group of elites have my interests in mind as I sublet to them the reverse side of my body better known as my back.  Like a properly trained blood hound, the ACLU can sniff out the scent of favoritism and malpractice and expose your bad name like it’s a cheap self-shot porno pic on the webbed Google machine. 
Early bird, it is you that converts your child’s sleeping headquarters into a warehouse storing holiday décor 364 days early for a Jesus B-Day 2011.  You are the reason why the cable show “Hoarders” steadily remains on top season after season. With that being said, I pity the person who had only ONE item and stood behind you while the whole west-end of a store called Wal-Mart was being bought out by none other than yourself. Back in my day, a self-checkout was better known as a fricking mirror, but now it is a politically correct way of escape from an OCD, caffeine bleeding member of the population known as the high octane spending consumer. I’m convinced that after looking at the deed to your house, it is no typo that the words “Made in China” are branded on that document due to all the cheap trash you purchased originating from that country.  Consider your shopping extravaganza a stimulus check paid to the order of the Chinese.  
Before my soap box which was once a home for a bar of Lever 2000 caves in, I would like to comment on the improper disposal of shopping carts.  As if a spot close to the entrance and later unmasked as handicapped doesn’t pose itself as the fool’s gold of parking and busts out my knee caps, so to speak, you throw out a perfectly good place to position my vehicle by your abandonment of the wire basket on wheels.  This aide, more commonly known as the rent-a-car for the homeless and their possessions, is the fingerprinted evidence that the early bird has been here and fled the scene leaving only a shelf barer than the win column of the Minnesota Timberwolves.  What a subtle way to direct an obscene gesture at me, the nonchalant customer.  Let me put to good use the feather duster that was provided compliments of online shopping and dust off my hexing skills. Since karma is a b*tch, may your return lines be long and your receipts as proof of purchase disappear without a trace…Even though my appearance in the retail market is not as prompt, my middle finger has just as much spring in its step as yours.  Next window please.
