Firstly, how have you never been to an Olive Garden . . . their breadsticks rock! Secondly, may I shake your hand becaues this is all SOOOOO true. Finally, perhaps a nice pasta dish would be good tonight. . . make your very own Olive Garden.
My recent post Weekend Away
i am among the unemployed and husband was as well until 2 months ago. I agree that EVERYTHING is more important than the divorce. Hell O didn't know she was even married...but I suffer from severe hype aversion.

Say what? Sea Turtles can swim 35 miles an hour? Wow. Although, the Kardashians are often in the ocean, so it's a really good skill to have.

Number 20. Those girls are an abomination. That is all.
My recent post Reality, just like my mom, bites.
Wait, did they ALL get married? Why are they all wearing wedding dresses?

Eh, never mind, I don't give a shit and my toenails need clipping. Also more important.

Come to Northern Virginia, and I'll take you to the local Olive Garden! My treat. XD

Also, you're right about #20. I'm getting tired of seeing/hearing about Kardashians. Especially Kim. Oi. I think I need some pasta to fortify me. :p

That or coffee.
Good list! I know someone who went to the wedding. She spent a fortune on a new dress, limo, and gift. She probably paid at least $1,000. Man, she got screwed.
My recent post Yay! The Saw Is Out of the Tree!
Anytime someone mentions Sea Turtles, I keep thinking of the line from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Mr. Gibbs: Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft.
Will Turner: He roped a couple of sea turtles.
Mr. Gibbs: Aye. Sea turtles.
Will Turner: What did he use for rope?
[long silence]
Jack Sparrow: [from beside them] Human hair. [pause]
Jack Sparrow: From my back.

I read that they were getting divorced, and thought "Jesus Christ, the money they spent could have created anew a small country in Africa, like Sierra Leone or something. Infrastructure, schools, wells, all of it." Beyond that, I don't freaking care about celebrity weddings. Or royal weddings. Or divorces. Other than that small mean part of me that laughs of peoples' misfortune.
My recent post Book Review: Awkward Family Pet Photos, by Mike Bender and Doug Chernack (and giveaway!)
You have to get to Olive Garden, it is the best. Well if you like salad and breadsticks that is. I'm with you on #10, but you got me beat by 2 years. Since my oldest is 5, that is how long it has been since I got sleep two days in a row. Also #20 sums it up pretty nicely...
My recent post Wit and Wisdom compilation
Sleep is overrated.

*YAWN*

Seriously---do not go toe Olive garden. THeir breadsticks are pure crack cocaine, and you cannot contain yourself. And then you're gorging on breadsticks, and getting yeast drunk, and the people at the other tables are getting uncomfortable, and you decide to flash the next table to get their breadsticks, and its just an evil spiral. DON'T DO IT!

*ahem*

salad's nice though...

You've NEVER been to the Olive Garden?? Now that is a travesty!

You forgot the crusty stuff in the corner of my mouth.
Hmmm, I'm starving. You know what sounds good? Breadsticks...
My recent post the shortest year
You've NEVER been to an Olive Garden?! That is WAY more important. Seriously. Sadly, I have been too many times, as it's one of the only restaurants in our middle of nowhere town. Also, this list is not only hilarious, but sadly true.
My recent post Playtime Inspiration
You're not missing anything at Olive Garden. Last time I went, it cost me and my husband $50 for two half-plates of pasta and two drinks. Go to a real Italian restaurant. Unless you have a thing for breadsticks, then definitely go to Olive Garden.

This needs to be a linky or something....we can all do posts on 20 things more important than this marriage and divorce!

They're getting divorced already??? Wow, how did I not hear about this...

Also, so very true. And I feel for you about the cat. We have a doggy-stained rub.... **tries to choke back vomit**
My recent post Guess what I was doing at 3:58 AM
I feel the need to amend number 3. 1 in 88 military kids are on the spectrum. But only because I have 2 of them.

And add me to the can't believe you've never been to Olive Garden list. My 5yo has a thing for "Grapes" as he calls it. We need to start a movement to get you there. The mom and pop places are better, but there's just something about their soup and salad. Maybe they lace it with crack.

I just might have to make my own post like this. And yes, they all seem way more important than whats their names.
My recent post Albert Pujols (SmallUpdate)
I am more concerned about the state of Bruce Jenner's face from the clips I have seen of him on the Soup. And how much is that divorce going to cost?
My recent post Battle line drawn
When we finally meet in real life, because it will happen one day, I am totally taking you to the Olive Garden. I'm classy like that. And I love you.
OMG! I, too, have never been to Olive Garden, even though my hubby used to work there! ....or maybe it's because he used to work there that I've never been, hmmm...something to ponder...
My recent post Friday Fancy
Have you considered that #2 and #16 may be in some way related?
My recent post Just do what I say and you (probably) won’t get hurt
I am so sorry about #10, so happy for you about #7 (and jealous), sad for you about #4 and happy for me that I read this excellent post.
My recent post pow!
Just one thing you rock....
My recent post WTF Friday Numero 12.........
Love the list. Haven't even noticed the whole Kardasian thing, too busy with real life.
Re: #13 - I actually like Spam. And it lasts forever. I think. If there's a nuclear holocaust and that's the only survivable meat, I'll bet you'll think differently about it. Or become a vegetarian.
My recent post Automated Restrooms – Is Technology Going Down the Toilet?
Aw, c'mon now, Jill! In all fairness, Kim Kardashi...wait. HOLD the phone!! WHERE the heck is AFV???? Now that is truly a question that needs an answer!!! If I can't count on Tom Bergeron, who can I count on? ;)
My recent post Put on your Sunday clothes, there's lots of world out there!
i just got home from dinner at olive garden. and though some people think they're too cool for it, my family of 3 loved every single thing we ate tonight. and got out for $50. and we have leftovers that we're pleased to eat for lunch tomorrow.
also, i have a cat that shits on the bathroom rug too. and then she always turns up a corner of the rug to cover it, like she's hiding it. or maybe doing me a favor by covering it.
My recent post tipsy chickens x2
You've never been to an Olive Garden? Oh, the horror! Nice list, but I'm sure you could think of 20 more things to list if you wanted. I'm so sick of people being "famous for being famous." I grew up when only talented people were on TV. I miss those days.

I hate this whole family!!! Who knew a fat ass and a sex tape could make you so famous?!!!? Well let's not forget their daddy that got a murderer off the hook. It pisses me off that this twat can make such a mockery of marriage but my best friend can't legally marry his boyfriend! How is this even fair? And she PROFITED from it!!! This whole thing just makes me ill.. I wish she would just go away!! It scares me that young girls look up to this family!!! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Awesome post by the way!

My earwax is more important. Perfect post, Jill!
My recent post TGIF: Gumby Edition
Yeah, you need to get your ass to the Olive Garden for those breadsticks! I agree, way more important than the Kardashian train wreck.

How much do I love you? There aren't even words.
My recent post Elastic and adoption. Right. I don’t think they go together, either.
A.freakin'.MEN, sister! The hype these celebs defies reason.
My recent post Where My Mind Wanders To When I Find Strange Things In My Pocket.
I would rather be able to say that I've never been to an Olive Garden than actually go. It's not special, and Little Ceasars has bread sticks. Macaroni Grill is way better.
Welcome baaaaaaack!
Ugh they are so arrogant.
Didnt know turtles were so fast!
Olive Garden is NOT that awesome...definately agree that Macaroni Grill is better.

My recent post Oh how I miss the 80s
Yes that and a good bow movement ;)
My recent post The Broke Chronicles
Kudos for the list. Inserting those stats inbetween "anything" was forceful. #1 & #20 made me laugh. This family, I only read about them at the grocery store lineups, but I still KNOW about them. Maybe the mag racks in lineups should do some other kind of advertising. (Hi, via Love Life Project)
I wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. Except for Olive Garden. I detest Olive Garden more than anything.
My recent post Dream #9: Little Boy and Burning Blimps
The wasted money should be a crime - all the good it could have done, and instead, it's just down the drain. These kind of people seem immune to karma too. :(

I prefer Strings to Olive Garden and like you - I have not slept 2 consecutive nights for 6 years... Does it get better in the 7th?

Awesome post - sharing on FB!! :)
