THAT GUY – WHO SETS THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT BAR TOO HIGH
Well hey there, pussbuckets. So the girlfriend came back from her vacation on Saturday night, so my last night of freedom and pseudo-single life had its last hurrah on Friday, and I was going out with a couple of college buddies she doesn’t like, instead of doing the responsible thing like cleaning the Kevin’s ass-sized mountain of dirty dishes I’d accumulated in the sink, or going out and buying her a Christmas gift, or at least attempt to look for one, because as of right now, I’m more clueless than Pete looking at a sushi menu. But let’s face it, stupid and ill-advised is how I roll, and I might as well be consistent, just like Karlson’s risk to suffer major coronary failure.
Well, while I was out with my buddies, who are all saddled, *cough cough* I mean blessed, with live-in girlfriends as well, the struggle of buying Christmas gifts came up, as we all had no idea what the hell we were going to get them. Well, except one guy. He’d already spent 4 figures on a tiffany bracelet for his girl, and after we each did our spit take with our Sams, we realized we were sitting next to That Guy. That Guy who sets the bar too high when buying his lady a Christmas gift.
What the hell do you think you’re doing, Daddy Warbucks? You realize you just condemned the rest of us to relationship hell with your careless and reckless actions, don’t you? When you’re gift-shopping for the little lady, you have to remember: Like Pete’s digestive system, there’s a delicate equilibrium that must not be upset, or else things are going to start to stink an awful lot like baked farts.
First off, you can’t go blowing the rest of us out of the water by buying your ball and chain a freaking ball and chain from tiffany’s, because we’re whether we like it or not, we gentlemen are all in competition with each other, and 1.3 seconds after your girl unwraps that crime against your gender you got her, she’s going to be on the phone with my girlfriend, his girlfriend, every girlfriend on facebook. They’re worse gossipers than Kevin’s sewing circle. Yeah, they can crochet one hell of a doily, but they’re major export is the girl version of smack talk.
Once they get done comparing notes, the rest of us look like cheap jerks, because you had to go and give Zales and Jared reason to keep making terrible commercials. We need to stick together tighter than Kevin’s t-shirts to his man-boobs after he sweats thru it rummaging thru his fridge for the last Ring Ding.
If we all keep the gift giving expenditures underneath the gross national product of Guam, none of us get in trouble, and none of us have to explain why Janie’s boyfriend is so much more attentive than us. “Did you hear what Janie got for Christmas, her boyfriend is such a good guy, he really cares about her….” Translation: I’m a selfish tightwad d***stain who ain’t getting laid until you make with the overpriced jewelry or a Lexus with a bow on it.
Thanks a lot, pal. Why don’t you go ahead and work my jiggleybits through a nutcracker, it would be slightly less painful and holi-dangerous, jack-ass. You do understand that you’re going to have to top this next year, right? Oh yeah, the gifts have to keep ramping up, year after year, just like Kevin’s anti-cholesterol medications.
The key is to keep expectations low, just like we do here with this whirling f***show we call a radio program. And now you plan on throwing the whole system out of whack like Pete’s hip if he attempted to run the hurdles in a Panda bear suit.
So how bout you run that little box with the wrist wrapper mortgage payment inside it back to where it came, and not blow up the rest of our spots, otherwise I’ll take it, it’s little bow, and the receipt and cram it up your cramhole.
