 American amateur and collegiate hockey players beat the Soviet team 4-3 at Lake Placid. Commentator Al Michaels made his famous call: "Five seconds left in the game....Do you believe in miracles? Yes! Unbelievable!" At the medal ceremony, team captain Mike Eruzione invited the entire team onto the podium to celebrate.

Colette and Sarai's, Well That's Dumb!

My mother pointed out a great, pervading dumbness prevalent among young men - you know what I'm talking about. The wearing of the pants around the ankles.

Okay, so they're not really around the ankles, but they could be at any moment! I'm talking about people who wear their jeans so low and loose, you fear you are going to get a glimpse of their Mr. Toad's. (If you aren't familiar with Mr. Toad, read one of my mom's romance reviews or just use your imagination.) Often, you do get glimpses of their tightey whiteys, which is bad enough.

Mom and I discussed solutions for this once. It involved magical powers and cinched belts. I'll let you fill in the blanks.

Sarai and Colette's Well, That's Dumb

Well, That's Dumb #3:

Ballocks. Men love their ballocks'. They love them so much, they make bigger ones to hang down from trucks and cars. Oh, yes. Have you not seen one yet? Let me share:





They come in all colors and sizes, even gold! Starting at about $27.00 on up, these dangling delights are very popular in the further reaches of the county, but can be seen in the city as well. Because the real thing just isn't good enough.

Well, That's Dumb

Sarai and Colette's Well, That's Dumb #2:

People need to be a little more safety-conscious. Are Colette and I paranoid? Maybe. You got a problem with that? All we're saying is people need to take a few basic precautions to protect themselves and their homes.

For example: People who are lucky enough to be able to afford to purchase large flat-screen televisions. Then they put the big box advertising they just got a big flat-screen tv out on the curb so all the burglars know they have nice stuff. Doesn't have to be a tv. Could be a new computer, a sound system, etc. What they should really do is put a sign on the empty box that says "AVAILABLE INSIDE - I'M A STEAL!" Cut up your cardboard, people.

Do you have something in mind that you think is Dumb? Send me an email! Colette and I will discuss it in our best snarky voices and if we feel it is worthy, we'll post it. :)

Johnny Depp, how I love you!

Sarai and Colette's "Well, that's dumb"

Welcome to Sarai and Colette's Well, That's Dumb series. It began as a simple conversation about how people do the dumbest things and we just don't get it. We, of course, never do dumb things because we are Better Than That. :)

Dumb thing #1: I had seen this before and it always made me crazy, but then I saw it again on the Fail blog. You know what I'm talking about - those little stick figure stickers people have started putting on the back of their vehicles, which tells the world how many children they have and what ages they are. The one on the Fail blog also had the children's names listed.

Why is this dumb? Ax murderers, people! (You will no doubt hear more about ax murderers in this series in the future. They are my favorite bad guy.) Child molesters, kidnappers, Bad Guys. Why would you want to broadcast such personal information to a bunch of strangers? They probably do the same thing on their Facebook accounts, adding, "We'll be home tonight between Ashley's piano lessons and Connor's baseball practice, so come visit!"

Dumb.
