Episode 274 - Activated Boners
/Guns. Experimental aircraft. Sonic the Hedgehog. A chili cheese Coney combo with tater tots and a vanilla shake. This episode of HWIDG. What do these items have in common? Well they all have the ability to go supersonic! Life comes at you fast, but we come even faster. Wait, no. I worded that wrong.
- Hateboners
- The Snowpocalypse

- The Way It's Always Been Done
A hate boner is when you hate something so much it gives you physical pleasure and you need to change your pants. You can tell someone that gets hateboners by the amount of pants they own. If they own more than 10 pairs of pants? I'm sorry, but they're suffering from a sever case of Hateboners and there's nothing that can be done at this stage, apart from making them feel comfortable. Or slapping them in the face and telling them to stop wasting so much of their time on something they don't even like. Seriuosly. It's ok not to like things, even healthy to passively hate things, But once you cross the line into activating Hate's trap card, you're dead.
Remember the good ol' days of waking up to watch the news ticker and figure out if you had school that day? Well no more. Now, school is virtual. You know what else is virtual? Rikku from FFX and I can't yank one out to ugly-ass Miss Davidson teaching me algebra, so guess who's not "Zoom"ing into class today? Spoiler alert: It's me.
Generic is bad, bad is worse, but also generic is even worse? There's a fine, thin line between 'meh' and 'this blows' and it's a hell of a tightrope walk that many have fallen down from. Bad movies can be made fun of, laughed at, and ridiculed. Generic ones? You can play a cool party trick called "I know what's going to happen in this movie I've never seen", but that's about it.
If the medical industry did things "the way they've always been done" we'd still be sticking a needle through your eye because you saw ghosts, or drilling a hole in your brain to let the ghosts out of it. We'd be sawing off your arm at the first sign of infection instead of giving you antibiotics, and if you went to the ER because you got a lightbulb stuck up your poop chute, we'd hang you instead of safely removing it. So maybe we try something new every once in a while, eh?
