I Got Graduated, Too!
Posted by Counter Culture Clown on April 8, 2010
Now, I know this may come as a surprise to anyone that’s ever read my blog before, but I’m a people person. Yeah, I love people. Maybe not in the way you’re thinking, but I do indeed love people. I love people in kind of the same way a zoo keeper loves his animals.
I do, however, loathe their very existence. This may seem like a contradiction, and I assure you: it is. But that doesn’t matter right now, what does matter is my explanation of why.
I love people in the sense that they allow me, a non-apologetic rage-oholic, to get a huge dose of that rage-ohol that I crave on a day-to-day basis. And I loathe them because I was plagued with common sense and dignity, and most other people weren’t. At all. Especially that dignity one.
And what displays the lack of dignity and self-respect most human beings have these days? Cellphones. Nothing makes me hate the human condition more. It’s not the cellphone itself, really. It’s the fact that humans can converse through them that bothers me. I can’t blame a knife for stabbing someone, now can I?
Speaking of knives and stabbing someone, I was on the bus yesterday, and I got to witness one half of quite possibly the most moronic conversation I’ve ever heard. It led me to coin the term “Buffoonism”. That was what this girl was practicing. Buffoonism. The act of being so ridiculous and inane, that it made me wish the entire bus just exploded right then and there, with me on it.
Let me say one thing, I’m not a racist. Oh sure, I hate black people. But I hate white people. I hate everyone. You can’t be a bigot if you hate everyone, got it? I do, however, especially hate this “Ghetto” culture that has spawned over the last ten years. Originally, it was only from people who lived in ghettos (imagine that), but it soon spiralled out of control (imagine THAT!) and everyone started acting like that, even middle class white people. This girl wasn’t middle class or white, but you get my point.
“The Buffoonist” was everything I hate about ghetto culture turned up to 11. I was overhearing the conversation, which was of course unnecessarily loud like everything that culture says, and it was just a typical dumbass conversation that I could mostly ignore. That was, until she uttered one of the most fucking stupid sentences I’ve ever heard. Ever.
“Yeah gurl, I heard that you got graduated!”
Got graduated?! Oh please tell me that “Graduated” is an STD or something, and that she didn’t mean graduated as in “from school”. GOT graduated?! She acquired graduated? Recently, I was informed of the term “Omnicidal” (compliments of “Teh Co-worker” and his near-Cocaine like addiction to TV Tropes). It was at this point in time, that I, the Counter Culture Clown, became an Omnicidal Maniac. Or at least wanted to. All humans must die because of this Buffoonist.
Alright, Buffoonist, you have my attention now. You can’t possibly make me more enraged, can you? Oh, I should NEVER under-estimate the power of failure.
Next up, discussion on a mutual friend of there’s who just had a miscarriage. That, for those of you who don’t know, means hitting eject on the VCR LONG before this fetus-movie is finished. Stillborn, ya know? Delightful, I know. And definitely conversation that should be yelled into a cellphone on a crowded bus. Oh, Omnicide, where have you been my whole life?
The Buffoonist: “Yeah, gurl, when I lost MY baby…”
Let’s just hit the brakes there for a second. There was the potential of a Little Buffoonist to carry on the legacy? Someone stuck their penis in this dumb piece of garbage? The baby didn’t make it into this realm alive?
I take it back. There is a God. And he loves me. Apparently, a miscarriage is God’s form of abortion. This Buffoonist was apparently SO dumbtarded, that even God didn’t want her to have a kid. Son of a bitch, all my atheist ranting, and God proves himself like this?! Mysterious ways indeed!
Of course, apparently she also thinks this was God’s doing.
The Buffoonist: “You know, that’s just God ‘doe!” (that means “Though” for those of you who don’t speak Buffoonist) “If I would have had my baby with that man, I’d probably be dead, he’d be in jail, and my baby would be in foster care!”
Wait, what part of any of that sounded bad? Let’s look at the good in that last part.
“I’d be dead…” – That’s good.
“He’d be in jail…” – Probably good too. I mean, he was dumb enough to misuse his penis in such a way that it brought forth a child from YOUR loins.
“And my baby would be in foster care” – I don’t care if that baby was being raised by wolves, as long as it’s not going to learn from YOU!
They then turned the conversation back to miscarriage lady number one. And yet another buffoonistic statement.
The Buffoonist: “Was she bleedin’?”
SHE JUST EXPELLED A FETUS OUT OF HER CROTCH, OF COURSE SHE WAS BLEEDING?!
Fuckin’ hell, I need a nap. This is all too overwhelming at this point. Even my hate has reached its capacity. I hate her more than I hate Vegemite. Alright, that may be pushing it, but you have to make strong statements to get this kind of anger across.
Next, I learn that yet another of their mutual friends is pregnant. And this one is, unfortunately, still on it’s way. I’m really hoping for a miscarriage hat trick at this point.
The Buffoonist: “Man, she be pregnant with that man’s bab-ay? Shit gurl, me and her ’bout to fight…”
Oh please let it be to the death, with the winner getting a nice DEATH as a reward. Oh pretty, pretty please. With a stillborn fetus on top…
It’s at this point she finally left the bus. An air of dismay seemed to follow her, and as she walked past, I felt a gust from that wind. A shiver ran down my spine from the chill of the fuck-up breeze that followed her. It was as if this God I now believe in (hah, no, not really!) had blew out his final breath as he too died of a pissed-off overdose.
This whole event only lasted roughly five minutes. Or, in my new anger-related unit of measurement, about sixty two Mental-Screams. That’s 12.4 MSPM (Mental-Screams Per Minute)! That’s fucked up.
You see, this whole thing just proves one thing to me: I should never, ever, have to be exposed to your phone conversations. Ever. Because now the human race must die. I haven’t quite figured out how to do it yet, but soon enough I will discover a way to kill everyone at once. And the omnicide will commence! And when it does, I’m starting with you Buffoonist!
Maybe, if the rest of you ask real nice, I’ll let you watch her die BEFORE killing you. Maybe. Not making any promises though.

Whilst doing my monthly at dollar general, I was standing in line behind a couple of buffonists, one on a cell phone:
“She done what?”
An open ended question if I ever heard one, not that is was necessarily a question, if you know what I mean.
“Another one?”
Okay, now the mind starts gearing up for the inevitable.
“That’s seven!”
Aha . . . must be kids, I’m thinking, while I attempt to control a serious outburst of laughing.
“She’s only nineteen, and this is her seventh?”
I am now convinced there is no God, regardless of your experience.
“They took the kid?”
Okay, maybe he just shows up at events like buffoons giving birth.
The girl then turns to me, for some unknown reason, like I should give a fuck, and says, “My fuckin’ sister is only nineteen, just gave birth to her seventh kid and the state took it. What the fuck?”
Exactly.

I’m glad that you can adopt my Buffoonist term. I think it should be a real word.

And all its spin-offs: Bush: “I was Buffoonated when I saw Dick shot that lawyer.”
Sarah Palin: “When you read the lame-stream news, you can betcha it’s buffoonicky.”
Jon Stewart: “My next guest has Buffoonized the entire Washington establishment in his new book, “How I learned to eat Senators from red states and spit out congresspersons with sensible appetites.”"

Please don’t associate me with that no-talent assclown Jon Stewart. :\

Damn . . .

Ech! I know! ALL kids nowadays seem to think they’ve sprung from the “ghetto” and speak like a bunch of idiots! Its like a mix of ghetto and text-speak! Its about half a step down from caveman-type communication.
As for annoying cell phone conversations: One morning while I was on the bus on the way to work, this young girl had her cell phone ring about five times in a row! Each time, she yelled out “Ma? Ma!! I’m almost there, stop calling! Ma? MAAAAAAA? Can you hear me!!!!?”
I wanted to follow her after she got off the bus and strangle her and her “Ma”!

You read my blog on de-evolution right? I covered how we’re going backwards in regards to verbal communication. Glad you’ve agreed with my point, haha.
That’s a pretty sad story, I would have loved to see you strangle someone though.

‘I haven’t quite figured out how to do it yet, but soon enough I will discover a way to kill everyone at once.’
Now I’d really love to see that. I don’t like people much either. I mean, I like them cause I got things in common with them (who would’ve thought?) but that’s all. Mankind is not so great after all. We’re not designed to do many of the things we’re doing, that’s why it feels so wrong sometimes.
I’ve always said I’d love to die along with the whole planet. That’s my favourite scenario about my death, if there’s ever such thing like a ‘favourite’ one.
So… Fingers crossed, mate, fingers crossed!

I want to die in the Apocolypse. 2012 just can’t get here fast enough. <3

Dude, you couldn’t of posted anything I’d be inclined to agree with more.
“Buffoonists” are the bane of my existence. Where I live they’re fucking everywhere. The ones I despise more so than any other are the young white teenagers from comfortable suburban homes who act like they’re from South Central.
Counter Culture Clown said
Hah, I know! I live in South Minneapolis, which is home to some of the worst Buffoonists in the state. The pre-teen to early teen aged ones are the worst. The 14 year old white boys running around dressed like Lil’ Wayne and talking like morons. It’s messed, but that’s what’s “hip” these days, I guess we’re just getting old.

You need to buy a friggin car CCC, it ain’t good for your health listening to that buffoonist shite!
Counter Culture Clown said
Yes, but then I’m alone with my thoughts. And that’s even MORE frightening…
