It has been some time since Jerry shared his “deep ideas” right here 😉  I had a giant experiment happening within the kitchen–I am making an attempt probably the most stereotypical vegan “bizarre” mock-meat there is–tofurkey! Hahaha, I am going to share about it this weekend–so whereas I used to be doing that, I requested Jerry if he’d need to write a deep ideas put up. I by no means know what I will get from him, so it is at all times attention-grabbing to see what he has to say.

Okay, here is Jerry…

What’s your favourite vacation?

Christmas. Fingers down. I like the entire season… household get-togethers, cookies, lights, and films. Through the years I have been feeling nostalgic and wanting Christmas to be prefer it was once I was a child and feeling dissatisfied when it is not. It is not concerning the presents, it is extra about being round household. Doing issues. Seeing family and friends. I maintain onto the Christmas spirit by watching a few of my favourite vacation films. My favs embody It is a Great Life, A Christmas Story, House Alone, The Santa Clause, Miracle on thirty fourth Road, and Die Onerous.

(Katie flipped out on me when she noticed I did not embody Dangerous Santa or Nationwide Lampoon’s Christmas Trip, that are just about the one Christmas films she likes. Oh, and The Christmas Sneakers. She loves crying over that film. Dangerous Santa and Christmas Trip ought to have been on my record, I simply forgot about them.)

What’s your greatest pet peeve? 

During the last couple years individuals have been annoying the crap out of me with a few of their ‘phrase crimes’. Apart from the entire they’re, there, and their stuff… additionally including ‘s’ to the tip of locations like Walmarts, Targets, or Krogers. Most just lately I have been aggravated with individuals saying ‘I am sorry’ when disagreeing with somebody’s opinion earlier than making an attempt convey their opinion. Are you actually sorry for arguing with somebody’s opinion? One other ‘phrase crime’ is utilizing the phrase actually for actually every little thing. Or when individuals say one thing is hilarious when it isn’t even near humorous. 

Instance:

Spouse: You will by no means guess what occurred.

Husband: What?

Spouse: I went to Kroger to choose up some corn. I assumed I used to be getting the shop model however I by accident purchased Delmonte. It price me an additional 25 cents!

Husband: Oh my god, that is hilarious. 

(Fortunately, Katie does not inform me boring stuff like that, however we’re getting previous so who is aware of the place our conversations will go)

What previous particular person issues do you do?

I by no means actually paid consideration to any of this earlier than however I began to note a pair issues I do this previous individuals do and I began to do it myself:

        –I’m going exterior and examine the climate or to confirm the situations after we get a storm watch or warning.

        –I click on my tongs collectively each time I grill, which is type of uncommon… nonetheless do it in any case.

        –I groan/grunt once I rise up out my chair.

        –Once I get off the bed I scratch my stomach or aspect and I stretch out. 

        –I wiggle my toes round when my ft are up, drives Katie loopy. 

        –I query this present generations trend selections…once I was younger the children had been at all times informed to drag their pants up, they had been barely protecting their asses. Now, the pants are so tight it is like their asses are consuming their pants. 

        –I am turning into that ‘get off my garden’ man and I by no means noticed it coming. 

What’s the greatest prank you have performed on somebody?

I used to be at work at some point and located a tiny bunny trapped within the plant. I picked up my little buddy and put him again exterior and noticed there have been a bunch of them on the market. I went again into the management room and defined how cute they had been. Considered one of my coworkers tried to inform me to depart them alone and I informed her, “No… as a matter of reality I will take them house to the children.”

As soon as once more, I used to be warned that I higher not mess with them. So I walked out of the management room and got here again in a pair minutes later with a field and defined I used to be on my method to put the little bunnies within the field to take house. Now she was mad. I had no true intention of really taking the rabbits house with me, I used to be simply messing along with her. However, now, I will get her.

I walked exterior on my own and stayed there for a couple of minutes. I walked again into the management room with the empty field closed and stated, “The youngsters are going to be so excited!”. She completely thought I had the bunnies within the field. Simply after I uttered these phrases I purposely tripped and face-planted on the bottom, fully smashing the field beneath me. The fear on her face was priceless and that shortly modified to tears and laughter from her once I obtained up laughing my ass off whereas revealing the empty field. 

What’s your favourite job you have ever had?

Straightforward. I used to work at Recreation Cease… it was just for seasonal assist however I beloved each second of it. I used to be in a position to nerd out and discuss video video games with everybody, play video games, and get free swag. Sadly, this trade is slowly dying as know-how permits for individuals to obtain video games on to their console. Whereas that is tremendous cool and handy it type of kills the interactions individuals would have on the recreation shops and nerding out. You can say the identical factor for film rental shops like Blockbuster. These had been the times… the nice ol’ days. I miss these days.

Katie right here once more… 

I fully forgot concerning the prank he pulled on the girl he works with! THAT was hilarious–and I imply that actually. 😉
