The Real Truth- GET OUT Edition

59

By TheRealTruth

Kill, Kill, Kill

I've compiled a list of things I could have lived an entire lifetime without.

  1. Guitar Hero
  2. Reality TV
  3. Family Guy
  4. NHL's Overexpansion
  5. The dumb Chuck Norris joke
  6. YouTube stars/ Celebrity Gossip/ Best Week Ever.....all of that garbage

Western Conference

San Jose Sharks- Hockey teams in California. Unreal. At least they're good.

Detroit Red Wings- Original 6. Safe. Even though I hate them.

Calgary Flames- I love all the Canadian teams.

Chicago Blackhawks- Original 6. Safe.

Vancouver Canucks- Canadian team.

Dallas Stars- In reality Texas shouldn't have a hockey team. BUT. They win pretty consistently. So I guess I don't have that big of a problem with them.

Edmonton Oilers- Canadian team.

Columbus Blue Jackets- Probably the worst. Columbus, Ohio?????

Anaheim Ducks- A team that was formed through a Disney movie. It pains me to say they've won a Cup recently.

Minnesota Wild- I'm glad Minnesota has a team again....but why the Wild?? What a dumb name.

Los Angeles Kings- Been around for a while. Gretzky played for them....but....California hockey teams?

Nashville Predators- Do we really need hockey in Tennessee? Called the Predators? So dumb.

St. Louis Blues- I like the Blues.

Colorado Avalanche- Although I miss the Nordiques, I'm ok with the Av's. Denver+ Hockey= Ok to me.

Phoenix Coyotes- A hockey team in the desert. Nice. Called the Coyotes. Ridiculous.

Eastern Conference

Boston Bruins- Original 6....safe.

Washington Capitals- Been around for a while. Plus I dig the new sweaters.

New Jersey Devils- My team.

Philadelphia Flyers- I hate the Flyers but they can stick around.

Montreal Canadiens- Original 6. Safe. Plus I love the Habs.

Florida Panthers- Does Miami, FL really have a HOCKEY team? Indeed they do.

Buffalo Sabres-They don't bother me that much.

New York Rangers- Original 6. Safe.

Carolina Hurricanes- Raleigh, NC. REALLY? A hockey team called the Hurricanes?

Pittsburgh Penguins- No problem with the Pens.

Ottawa Senators- Love that they're an expansion team in Canada.

Toronto Maple Leafs- Original 6. Safe.

Tampa Bay Lightning- So....Florida has two teams. At least Tampa has won a cup. Even thoughit boils my blood to say so.

Atlanta Thrashers- Oh my God. Atlanta? They don't even support any of the other teams they have.

New York Islanders - Storied franchise. Even though they suck now.

I HATE FAMILY GUY!

So.....

Yeah...it isnt the greatest video ever....but I think you get the point. In case you can't read what the paper says, "You think that's weird......how about the time I stabbed the paper with a knife?" Dumb....but that's the point. The great thing is I could become one of the things I listed as hating...a YouTube star....for that dumb video. To be honest I have seen worse. Which is why I hate all that crap. Celebrity gossip, Perez Hilton.....make it stop!

I won't even waste my time describing the Chuck Norris joke. Just know that I hate it with a passion....and I honestly can't remember laughing at any of them.

Which brings us to Guitar Hero. Plastic guitars that really give you no sense of what playing a guitar is like. As a guitarist myself (not a very good one....see for yourself, here) it puts me in the red when these punk kids act like they are such great guitar player......wake up it's a video game! Of course I realize I should tell myself the same thing....JUSTIN, IT'S A VIDEO GAME, GET OVER IT! In all honesty I think I am over it. Now that I've vented a little bit about it. Just don't expect me to play guitar hero with you.

I disagree with you on Family Guy, And I'm from the West Coast, so I hate Hockey. Never played guitar hero, it looks lame and I would hate to hear the same songs over and over again. And I should mention I told that to the guy who produced it, who dates a friend of mine. He's a cool guy, told me we were going to go to Laker game. I think he lied just go get me on his good side. And stabbing a piece of paper with a knife, is not scary, its just something to get me on the floor laughing.

I would agree with your list. I would also like to add "Rick roll", I am also embarassed in the fact I know who, Miley, Jonas Bros. and what High School musical are. I really could have lived without that bit of knowledge. I could live without 90% of what is on TV.

I'm a big Maple Leafs and Black Hawks fan!

I've never heard a Chuck Norris joke, but I suspect I'd agree with you on its/their imbecility, as the rest of your hub smacks of real common sense. The hockey I could care less about, but hey -- I watch tennis just because the players have great legs. Other than that, I have no idea what the Guitar Hero thang is -- do you hook it up to a Wii? What is a Wii, and why do folk think it is fun? Sorry -- this comment has no real purpose other than to hope that you feel better now, for having let off some steam. cheers, T.

gt: excellent. you got it then. not meant to be scary.....should i mention that? i think family guys jokes are just way too dumb and random. as far as the guitar hero guy, just goes to show what type of dude you are. fun times. if only you lived this way or i lived that way....beers and terror. could be fun.

james: rick roll? not familiar with it. i might know it, just not by name. but all that disney stuff.....all that crap. tv is garbage though. you're hawks are looking good for the first time in years, huh?

teresa: to be honest i applaud the fact you don't know what any of it is. i truly wish i could say the same. I do feel better, thank you.

Oh thanks a lot! Now I won't sleep tonight after seeing that gorey paper stabbing video! :D LOL!

Your first subtitle got me hooked...kill, kill, kill. But all that sports stuff, I don't know anything about it. Sorry. But I enjoyed your hate fest. :D

Sadly, my son loves guitar hero, and I don't understand it at all. Just watching the screen makes me wanna puke and stab a piece of paper. lol!

I'll have to sign on another computer to witness your guitar playing. This silly laptop doesn't have sound. :(

Great contemporary list..!

My list would have started with the 60's and gone way downhill from there..

I agree, the Arizona Coyotes is a dumb name for a hockey team. We are pushing for the Arizona Monsoon. Big, rainy affairs we get here in July/August...

Do a list!!! Im interested in seeing what other people could have done without in their lifetimes.

I heard something about Gretzky either being in trouble or looking to sell the team is that true??

I could have done without that Jeremiah was a Bullfrog song. Also, Barry Manilow must go. I don't care where he goes, he should just go. :)

Especially, if that is your top 8

shannon: But then it won't be a family guy joke anymore.

 

maven: ah...his wife. thank you. but the teams fine then?

issues: actually i am a pretty happy person. but the thing is most things dont bother me. these bother me to the point of wishing they never existed.

Just wanted to let you know I went and listened to your band and guitar playing, and it's GOOD! It's unique and interesting and I enjoyed it. :)

Where have you been?? How in the hell are people supposed to stalk you if you're not here? ;)

TheRealTruth profile image

TheRealTruth Hub Author 3 years ago

There are no gadgets or tools available to man to rip the smile from my face. I'm around......I was just a windless sail for a few days. I will be stalkable again real soon.
