Reading Comprehension and You: How to Avoid Looking Like an Idiot
Welcome.
I am Mr. Himself
Today we learn about reading and paying attention.
Please note: If you started to scroll down with the hopes of finding another flashy image to gaze upon, you have already failed this lesson and it hasn't even started yet. Please go back to the top and begin again.
Please do not allow yourself to be tricked by the word paying in front of the word attention. You will not be charged a fee.
Please note: If the line above does not make sense to you because you haven't seen those words anywhere, you have already failed this lesson. Please go back to the top and begin again.
Lesson One
I think I'm better than you(Please note: If you were already triggered into thinking I'm some sort of arrogant douchebag, you have failed this lesson. Please go back to the top and begin again.) at golf.
Please note: It's never wise to dive into the teachers personal life to begin judging the flaws in their personality, mid-sentence. At least give them a chance to finish what they are about to say, then pick them apart.
Lesson Two
Just because I'm better at golf than you are, that doesn't mean you can't improve. It's meant to be motivational, not insulting. Relax.
Lesson Three
I thought I told you to relax!
Clearly, you have failed this lesson. Are you here just to mess around or did you come here to learn! Now sit down! Start the lesson over.
Lesson Four
I'm sorry.
I've been having a few problems at home lately. I mean, I like macaroni; but macaroni everyday?
Look at my lunch today!
Fucking Macaroni Salad! Again!
That's the third time this week; and it's Wednesday!
Do you know what that means? Macaroni goddamn salad everyday!
Lesson Five
- First you take your spoon!
- See the spoon! Yeah! This spoon! This plastic piece of shit!
- She made me take them back home so she can wash them.
- This one has a name! They all do!
- Meet, February!
Lesson Six
- Dip it in there real good and stir!
- Round and round! You see! You see how I'm doing that!
At home she made me walk downstairs to where she kept an entire bathtub full of this goddamn macaroni salad. Everyday at precisely 6:55 p.m. ...
Did you stir the salad yet!
That shriek meant I had five minutes.
I got shivers down my spine just thinking about it.
That basement is cold.
Lesson Seven
- She made me use her canoe paddle to stir this mess because it was my fault I had splinters of wood stuck in my throat after she told me to use my canoe paddle!
Lesson Eight
- Buy health insurance.
Question:
Do you know how much it costs to have wood removed from your throat?
Answer:
My Truck!
Lesson Nine
- She was only with me because I had a truck!
I was busy stirring the salad again! I was mad! I hate stirring the salad!
She comes up to me and hands me some papers.
"Sign this," she demands with her I hate you tone of voice.
That put me in a dilemma because I knew better than to stop stirring the salad when she's looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm doing it right.
So with one hand I stirred and the other I signed.
Lesson Ten
- That's why I'm here.
I had to take on a second job teaching you assholes how to golf because I didn't read the damn document.
She ran off with some European man she met on the internet.
"Francisco."
She took everything I had and left me with a bathtub full of goddamn macaroni salad.
Conclusion
I just have to run home and stir the salad for a few minutes. If it goes bad, I'll starve.
Stir the salad JUST STIR THE SALAD... So... Where to I have to pay to get some attention?
You just keep stirring and let me pay for that attention.
To anyone who's reading, please visit @agnikana's blog. She wrote her introductory post today and did a damn fine job of it. I suggest you all head over there after this and give her a warm welcome!
There. Done. :)
Hahahaha omg, aaaaand that's how you give some attention! Thank you <3
You're welcome. I might get another 50 to 100 views... or maybe I'll get skunked, who knows! I tried!
Well there goes my idea for a macaroni salad post, thanks a lot! Way to ruin that idea!
LoL! Don't worry! You can have some of mine! It's still good! Just keep it stirred! See! Look! I'm already helping you write the how to prepare portion!
ok, my world is not over,... yet. Did this salad have pimento? If so, then my life is back to being over again
I'm not sure what that is. Is it chunky? There's definately some kind of chunky stuff in this salad. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's pimento.
ah #@^&!!! Son of a biscuit eater!! All creativity just suddenly vacated my body into a puddle on the floor. Luckily, its a tile floor so easy clean-up.
I solved the puzzle anyway. It's those dried up bits of ketchup from the top of the bottle. She made me put those in a ziploc bag, "for later."
Because I paid no attention to the circumstances of your divorce and began thinking while reading "hey, it'd be funny if I could share that one song I heard once", I think the last verse of this song is a lot more related to your situation than it really is.
I mean, there's nothing about macaroni salad. And the guy's name is different. And the whole verse is about lying and there was no lying involved. And there's not really much golf in it.
But it's kinda the same sort of thing.
Look, I really need an A in this class to pass the semester, and since it's your shitty divorce-job you know as well as I do that it's all bullshit anyway. Why are you teaching us reading comprehension in a golf course (heh)? What kind of hack are you anyway? I'm sorry I said those things. I thought it would make me more relatable. I just really need that A.
Here. Have an Eh. It's just like an A, but Canadian.
Great. This mac salad had plexiglass fibers in it, canoe-paddle yellow fibers. Furthermore, I have learned nothing about golf here. Back to the top, I know I know...
Again! I will never stop to repeat. You should stop to eat macaroni salad, that is not real Italian food! I'm gonna spam everybody today. @nonameslefttouse make a new post apologetic of how you stole pasta and name of the pasta and you re-make a shitty dish that people all over the world think ERRONEOUSLY is made in Italy.
I didn't even say Italy! LOL!
You may have said 'macaroni', but you weren't holding your hand right when you said it.
It's a mac a RO ni.
Okay, I can do this. I can type with one hand and talk with the other.
It's a mac a RO ni!
Is that what that is? I thought it was lemon zest. No wonder I have such bad heartburn. Anyway, yeah, we're here to golf!
It's ok, doc says I'm not getting enough fiberglass in my diet.
Golfing! I once had a client who lived right next to a golf course. After I'd finished my work, I told her that she lived in one of the most toxic places on earth, what with all of the fertilizers and chemicals being dumped into the turf next to her home so regularly. Then I said something like, 'thank you' but I never heard from her again-- I was thorough, and I did a good job I guess. I think she may have moved out of the region since then.
Golfing! I golf at par 3 course that allows all of the natural prairie grasses and plants to grow. He just pulls or weed whacks the nasty ones when he's not riding around drunk on his mower. The greens are sod, dry and he applies a thin layer of pebbles just to keep things "smooth sailing." I got a hole in one there. I spent nearly thirty minutes looking for my ball! On a hunch, I decided to look in the hole...y shit there's my ball!
Mr. Himself, Macaroni salad is MERDA is it supposed to be an Italian dish? You really deserve bathtub food then?
Come on, you teach me golf, I make you eat nice food =)
(I'm in a coffeeshop and people are talking about Trump and Goldman Sach at the table beside auhauhauha)
Thank you for teaching me how to say Shit in Italian! You've earned one free golf lesson and a chance to make me a sandwich!
You want Prosciutto e formaggio semipiccante or salame e formaggio dolce?
Both. Just put it all in there. I haven't had a decent meal in weeks. Even a slice of bread is good. Anything. Please! I'm dying of macaroni salad disease. It hurts!
After all, you deserve some suffering for violation of Italian food.
I didn't make it! I just stir it! Honest! :)
If there is ever a new steemfest and we can manage to meet, I'll cook for you. Honest!
Just warn me ahead of time if you're putting any of your advanced ingredients in there.
Macaroni salad is the most disgusting food in the entire world. I'm cringing at the idea of cold noodles and mayonnaise! I'm so sorry. Come over to my house and I'll cook for you Mr. Himself. No need to teach me golf. I hate golf as much as I hate macaroni salad.
Listen. Between us...
I don't even know how I got this job. I've golfed only a handful of times and I'm usually drunk by the third hole. I didn't tell them that though. I just said, "Yeah, I can teach golf." They hired me on the spot.
Oh! That reminds me. I better go stir the salad.
I don't trust anything with mayo in it.
Mayo Clinic?
Well played sir. Well played.
Okay, didn't see that going so downhill fast! :D
You earned a follow because I couldn't help but stop and laugh several times.
I learned that downhill move by watching the Winter Olympics on TV!
I'd like to get some wood removed from one of my friends' throat, mind if I borrow your truck?
You just had to bring up the goddamn truck! Didn't you!
Hey, you're the one who taught the lesson in the first place.
I'm just being a good student. :3
...and a friend.
You know what... go ahead and use one of the golf carts. It's on the house!
Just don't tell my boss and if the police ask you anything, it wasn't me.
Got it, don't tell your boss and if the police ask, tell them you told me to tell them it wasn't you. Got it.
Yup. At least you're paying attention.
You might wanna re-read the part about police. xD
I started over several times but I could never seem to make it past Lesson Three. I hope there wasn't anything too important after that.
No, today's lesson didn't go so well. Come to class drunk tomorrow and you should be able to get a new high score.
Well I'm here to improve my golf game, so I was hoping for a new low score actually. But whatever. I'll bring some cheap vodka and we can share.
