Things I Don't "Get"

[Billy Hoyle]

I have a former employee who is a "young earth creationist."  She was posting pictures with her kids at Ark Encounter over the weekend.

I read an interview with Blake Griffin a few years ago and he said he believed in it because "that's what I was taught growing up."

Believer or non-believer (in religion) to ignore the overwhelming and conclusive evidence and use absurd logic to defend your beliefs because "that's what I was taught" I'll never get.

I take pride in knowing my kids make fun of Jesus riding a Dinosaur people.  I did good!

Toppling Goliath is a good but hype brewery. Their owner is a complete clown Azhat. I won't buy another beer from him because he treats his employees like sheet. His barrel aged beers are a hot mess that should be drain poured. Specially morning delight - gross. Plus, most of their beer is now made in JAX not IA. You should have heard what their brewing team had to say when that $--tstorm went down. That team hated that idea.

If you're in the Midwest get alarmist (best regular hazy ipa there is.. I'll fight you over that), eagle Park but they use a lot of lactose, Maplewood, old nation.. All way better than topling and you're not supporting a c.unt.


So things I don't get ...

All inclusive resorts
Religion
Suburbs
People who are scared of international travel
Straight edge
Comic book movies
College football
Pachuli
Vegetarians that aren't from s cultural perspective
Southwest Airlines

For those that hate / dont get bourbon - i feel for ya. You need to get yourself a good bourbon.

Didn't know anything about the guy at TGB.  I have never bought any of the BA stuff.  I usually stick to PS, FSM, and King when its around.  And now since I know he is a crappty dude, I will spend my cash elsewhere.

Showering before bed. WTH?

For the intellectual class.....huge fan of Monty Python.   That's because I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. 

[Hards Alumni]

Monty Python

This is incorrect.

And now for something completely different

Monty Python

Well, I'm sure a lot of people don't get math and reading, too, but they don't go around broadcasting it. 

[The Sultan]

I'm not disparaging Monty Python or their fans. I just don't find it funny.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Agreed.  Glad I'm not the only one.

Some of my friends love it.  I had never seen it so we all watched SftHG one time. I didn't laugh once.  Not only that,  I fell asleep!  I was that bored.

[MUEng92]

Monty Python

Next you'll say you don't get Benny Hill

[MU82]

Kinda funny that they sued for flood damages a couple weeks ago that their insurance didn't cover because it was an "act of God".

So far, that's the funniest thing to happen in 2019, and it's hard to believe it will be topped.

I probably laughed for 2 straight minutes when I heard it.

The Marquette Basketball Program is not dead yet.

[Cheeks]

I don't get the Muppets.  Are they for kids or adults?  Are they supposed to be funny?

The NM thread.

Agreed on Monty Python.

Maybe the above are related?

I love Holy Grail and Life of Brian but the Monty Python Show never seemed funny to me

[muwarrior69]

I am sure that everyone will not get muwarrior69 not getting the Beatles. When they sang it was like chalk grating on a blackboard to my ear. They should have just kept to composing and let those who can sing, sing.

[Coleman]

Life of Brian is by far the funniest.

Holy Grail is funny, but doesn't come close to L of B.

Flying circus/Meaning of life is hit or miss. Some skits are incredible, others not so much.

Also, it is much, much funnier when watching with a group, preferably at a theater that serves alcohol. Never watch Monty Python alone.

[Benny B]

I'm not disparaging Monty Python or their fans. I just don't find it funny.

It looks as though you're essentially saying, "What's so special about Monty Python."

Well obviously 'Monty Python' is not meant to be taken literally... it refers to any manufacturers of British comedy products.

First date with my wife was Life of Brian at the Varsity Theater in 1980.  We re-watch every 5 years on the anniversary.  Very funny movie (but I suppose not funny enough to watch every year).  I can see the don't gets for Monty Python.  It is a very specific type of humor that either appeals to you or doesn't.  I think the dead parrot and the Spanish inquisition sketches are hilarious, but know many people who don't think so at all.

I don't get and will never get Snapchat

So you're saying that the thing you don't like about the Beatles is that Paul and John didn't sing well? Okey dokey then.

Don't worry, Doc, maybe you'll get a coupla butt buddies this week.
