Little moments like that

Today was so chuck full of moments that made me smile, I was compelled to write something dedicated to this fine day.

McDonalds. A nice place.
We went on a apple pie run, and I was reminded of a time when I wanted pie a while back.
It was a cold, rainy night, a Wednesday I think...
I wanted pie, but I wasn't too hungry, so I decided I would have just one pie.
I pulled into the drivethru and asked for a pie.
"Do you want two for a dollar?"
"No thanks" I replied "I only want one"
I had assumed that if I was only getting one pie, and two cost a dollar, that one might cost about 60 cents or so.
Nope.
A freaking dollar.
Aren't I retarded.

I told that story at the McDonalds today, and I was thirsty, and didn't get a drink with my pies. (Bad Call)
I got back with my Hugo drink ranting about how on the dollar menu there is a small soda, and I just got a huge drink for a little less.
The sad thing is that people actually go for that.

Continuing on people who are kind of silly... Take a look at this!

That sign in between the cars?
It reads:
"No parking, Fire Lane"

Well at least the morons had enough in their craniums to not park in front of the sign...
I drove by, and I was compelled to take that picture because irony is just my favorite...


Next we move on to the reason I was in the crowded lot in the first place.

My elementary school's spring concert. Oh yeah.

If you couldn't tell, I was less than enthused to be there, but I went because I'm a good brother. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Unfortunately, I arrived late, about halfway through the show. Depressed as I was, I continue.

As I walked in there was a 6th grader dressed as Elvis. Wow.

Next came the 7th grade.

7th graders singing just makes me smile because, honestly, none of the classes sounded any good, but at least the kindergartners are cute.
7th graders are neither good, nor cute.

I think there were four guys, 4 that is, and about a dozen girls.
What the girls lacked in skill, the guys made up for in growling.

8th grade was by far my favorite performance.
The characters were great.

First you hear Girl-Who-Can-Actually-Sing drowning out everyone, which makes her sound like a prick.

Then you notice 8th-Grader-Who-Has-More-Facial-Hair-Than-Abe-Lincoln-(In-1863-You-Technicality-Pointing-Out-Jerk) who looks like that guy in planet of the apes.
I know that was a low blow, but it was funny as hell.

Then I realized that they decided to have a couple students play instruments during the show. They sang the finale song from Greece the musical, and well... it was bad.
The worst part was all of the guys, and the awkward girls just stood in the back mumbling while Girl-Who-Can-Actually-Sing is singing her heart out, dancing around with all the girls who think they can dance.

Then you realize it is indeed not hailing antelope, and that that awkward, irregular banging noise is actually Kid-Who-Has-No-Sense-Of-Rhythm-But-Plays-Drums (yes I know that that is difficult to distinguish apart from regular drummers, but he was worse [Burn to drummers])

Then he took a cowbell solo.

I almost cried.
