Good Times Are Here Again

I'm never quite so happy as I am when I have something to complain about. It is my lifelong ambition to grow up to be a crotchety old man. One day, I'll be yelling at kids to get hell off my lawn. My idols are Statler and Waldorf. I'm that kind of guy.

So I'm kind of stunned to say this: everything is going great right now.

Maybe I'm tempting fate, but I am completely without things to complain about right now. In fact, things are going great. My grades came in and they were the best I've ever had. My brother is getting married in two weeks and I couldn't be more excited. Things are even going well on the relationship front, though I'm staying only cautiously optimistic. I am wholly without complaint right now. How odd.

So, for my own enjoyment, here are completely out of context quotes from the bachelor party in Vegas:

"My brother told me nothing in Vegas is free."

"This is because I'm Iranian, isn't it?"

"Let's go see some architecture."

"Hey, Baker. Isn't that your brother?"

"Why can't I bet against myself? Everyone else is."

"You mean I can smoke anywhere I want?"

"When you say that you've lost the groom, what do you mean by that exactly?"

"I Don't Know played third base."
"Yeah, what base did I Don't Give a Fuck play?"

"That guy really is dancing with himself."

"For the next hour, I'm not talking to you."

"This casino looks like my mom's basement. It's just missing the wood panelling."

"You only get married once... unless you're Stephen."

I want to know how a guy dances with himself, not just by himself...

My favorite: The last one. Ha!

You really are tempting the fates here. Maybe you should make them an offering of making something tiny go wrong yourself so that they see they can leave you alone.
