What’s with parents driving their kids to the end of the driveway to wait for the school bus?
They just want to make sure the little tykes are safe. It seems perfectly reasonable.
I disagree. Not only do I find this to be the next installment of a popular Sametime Status feature I like to call "The Wussification of America," but I submit to you, The Most Intelligent Readership In The World, that this action is decidedly...dramatic pause...Unamerican!
DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!
Unfortunately, the dramatic "reveal moment" music doesn't quite translate to the Blag, but you get the idea.
In this day of banning dodge ball, watering down classes, and inventing The Cordless Jump Rope, we've taken steps to shield children from every possible speed bump on the road of life. This makes them wussies. Driving them the whole 50 feet from the house to the end of the driveway so they can wait for the school bus is going one step beyond that. AND I SAW IT THREE TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY!!!
Okay, so it's a pretty wussy thing to do...why is it Unamerican?
Because one of the key issues in America today is the economy and the price of various forms of energy, including gasoline. Everyone knows that engines are most efficient once they've been driven for a few minutes and up to optimal operating temperature. Also, the only true way to spend less money on gasoline is to use less. These 3 parents all drove gas-guzzling SUV's at their least efficient a whole 50 feet and left them running for no good reason other than to have the climate control on, wasting gas that I'll have to pay for next time I'm at the pump. Thanks, jerks!
Speaking of wasting things. Here's a pretty good waste of whatever it takes to run this thing...the coolest water fountain ever:
