Thoughts During Mercedes-Benz Strategy Meeting

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah will my head reflect light when I’m

bald like this dude? Blah blah blah blah I’d love

to stand up right now and scream blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah Corporate America is so fucking weird –

we’re all dressed the same and scared of getting out of line.

It’s like Catholic school, except now we’re getting

paid to lose our faith. Blah blah blah blah blah blah

Chicken, angel-hair pasta, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado,

apples, pepper-jack cheese, fruit punch, seltzer, milk.

peanut butter? Blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah blah blah. This asian due is making me

hungry for sushi. That’s not racist,is it? If you have to ask yourself

if it’s racist is it racist? Whatever happened to Kim Basinger?

Blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah I’m Mothafuckinnnnnn’ Batmaannn blah blah

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Womanizer, Womanizer, Womanizer, Womanizer –

It’s Britney, Bitch! Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

How the hell did I leave my wallet in a cab last night?

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Now I need to deal with Twilight ruining my sex life.

How’d my girlfriend like it if I was fantasizing about

fictional characters? Catches me jerking off to

The Cat in the Hat. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah When I get that feeling I want

sexual healing Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
