Wasup Wit Dat?

By Bob D. Caterino
Aug. 16, 2006

I may not be the brightest bulb in the box but there are things I don't and will probably never understand that really yanks my chain. When did "My X husband" or "Children from a previous marriage." become "My baby's daddy?" It is as if men can become pregnant all of the sudden, so whasup wit dat?

People are trying to be so original when it comes to naming their babies which I do believe started with the changing of the spelling of names like "Mari" or "Brandye." I met a "Celladore, Lemone, Latrine and an Anferny" I do believe that Anferny is just a poor judgment of pronunciation. No babies are being born with the names Bill or Bob anymore which is ok but "Chandelier, Urethra and Diarrhea" has got to be over the edge. People are either that dumb or just cruel.

Some "Great old American names are on my "Please don't list" so please don't because this is bordering on old fashioned child abuse. "Biff, Maude, Dick, Chad, Bernard and or Barney, Skip and my recent encounter with a Guy and a Toby." Have got to be eliminated but they are better then Aerosol and Arsenal. If you are thinking that naming your son or daughter so that it would sounds like they are educated then you have another thing coming. These names will humiliate then and scar then for life so think before you choose. Names are all good unless they really can mean something different then they are intended. People just don't know the meanings and if it sounds good then use it. Listen, clitoris just may sound like a great name for your child but look it up before you name them. Geezer, whasup wit dat.

Getting off the name thing, I need to address the fine folks in the driving world. If it says maximum 65 and minimum 45 where does it say you need to drive 30 miles an hour unless you are spiteful or on a cell phone.? Wasup wit dat?

I came to a realization long ago that music is a personal thing. I used to think when I was younger so much younger then today, that everyone needed to hear my musical choices. Help me if you can, understand why I need to hear six twenty five inch speakers blasting out music with the bass all the way up at three in the morning. What ever happened to headphones? Wasup up wit dat?

Last but least of my rants is the television shows jumping the shark. That phrase for those who don't know comes from "Happy Days" when the Fonz, had to jump a shark to show he was cool. Most shows that chance for the inane usually sees its last season after changing a format for the sake of silliness. Believe it or not "Seinfeld" had a subtle jumping of the shark when Kramer decided he needed a catch phrase. The shows writers decided to shove "yo yo mon" down our throat and the next season was just not in the works. Mork and Mindy jumped the shark when Mork and Mindy had a baby. The baby was a sixty year old man and just creepy. Gilligan jumped the shark before it was ever aired. I do believe that all television shows should film an ending episode before even starting the show. When it ends, we shall all have closure. Taxi jumped the shark when it decided to have a comic added to the cast and till this day I will never think of something Andy did and even break a smile, thank you very much. If a show works then why change it with placing aliens or talking dogs in the show. If it works just go with the flow. I will never understand why anyone would make a serious topic on a comedy show, its freaking comedy so whasup up wit dat.

Some call me politically incorrect and all I have to say is that's just me. I will not change my old bones for anyone to spare feelings. What ever happened to telling it like it is? I live as I always have, simple and clean. I am now rethinking this. I am wondering if a life of crime will suit me. If I was in prison at least I would get three squares and cable television while earning a degree and take in a sauna. They live like that because they tug on the bleeding heartstrings. If you do the crime you have rights taken away from you not given more rights then the average citizen. I mean, god, wasup wit dat.
