Jan Approved?!!??!?

Hello, all. My name is Jan, AKA The H. You know, Jill’s husband. I know the site’s been dormant and Jill’s missed a few posting deadlines, but rest assured she’s not dead, just busy. And lazy. Don’t worry, the site’s not going anywhere, and Jill will get back on schedule soon. OR ELSE NO DINNER!

Anyway, she’s been after me for awhile to do some sort of “guest post”, which is just a nice way of saying “do my work for me”. So, here goes. I’m pretty rusty at this sort of thing -I haven’t done any real blogging for about 3 years.

I was a bit conflicted on what to write, to be honest -I dig the “Approved, Disapproved” gimmick Jill’s been working, but I couldn’t decide which way to go. So, in the grand American tradition of excess, I’ll do one of each.

JAN APPROVES OF: SWEATPANTS

Sweatpants are freaking Awesome. They don’t judge you like jeans…they’re supportive. “Hey, put on a few pounds? Don’t worry, happens to all of us. Just let that drawstring out a little and we still fit just fine!” Meanwhile, those uppity blue jeans refuse to mold to your expanding girth. And frankly, few items of clothing have greater capacity for comfort. Hell, I’ve got a pair of blue Adidas sweats that, in this house, are referred to only as The World’s Most Comfortable Sweats. To call them anything else would demean their remarkable facility.

Sweatpants are versatile as well. Maybe you’re lounging around the house, perhaps trying to watch the Angel game, when the wife demands -in a shrill voice -that you fetch her something from some store or another, you’re not sure because you stopped listening? As long as your sweats are halfway decent, you can just stroll right on out. A good looking pair of sweats is socially acceptable attire anywhere from “hangin’ with the homies” to “dinner at semi-casual restaurant“. Don’t let anyone tell you your sweats are “inappropriate”! I say rock those fucking wonder pants! Truly, the apparel of the gods.

JAN DISAPPROVES OF: TEENAGERS

Teenagers suck. It’s just a universal truth. It’s kind of remarkable, really -the suckitude of teens cuts across racial, socio-economic, cultural and and religious lines. Teenagers today are just fucking insufferable to be around, especially when you’ve had the bloody common sense to not have any kids and yet you’re forced to deal with other people’s demon spawn. They’re like another species; they speak some incomprehensible yet truly retarded language, they wear shit Amy Winehouse would be ashamed of( have you seen the fucking BOOTS they’re wearing now? When did He-Man replica apparel become chic?), and they appear to be utterly oblivious to just how infuriating much of their public behavior is. And the ones who are aware think its cool. Fucking little pubescant bastards. I weep for our future if these geniuses are in charge of it.

Well, I think that’s enough from me. I’ll make sure Jill gets back to unleashing the funny onto the unsuspecting interweb soon, I promise.

Until next time.

    Hello Mr Jillian :)

    May I first commend you on the usage of ‘bloody’ , got any British in you?

    Secondly does Jillian approve of you approving of sweatpants?

  2. Mike July 17th, 2008 at 8:57 am

    You are right on about teenagers.

    Those little bastards.

    I’m going to install a deer killer on my truck. Want to come along for the ride?

    It would only take some bloated, balding marketing executive to convince teenagers that sweatpants were cool, then both would miraculously become more socially acceptable (until the next retarded, youth-consumer trend).

    Also, given the threat of no dinner at Red Robin, it’s no wonder Jillian’s slacking. Maybe you should crank it up to Outback.

    and, nice to see ya Jan.

  4. Monique July 17th, 2008 at 10:32 am

    LOL, you two are so much alike, Good god!

    And it’s nice to finally meet you Jan… (my husbands name is Ashley).

    Now tell Miss Jill to get off her ass and get back to posting!

    Nice post. Considering how well she speaks of you, it’s not surprising to see similar traits in your writings. Hope to see more of your guest posts down the road.

    BTW, here’s something you may approve of. Jillian’s told me how much of a wrestling fan you are — you will LOVE “The Definitive Ric Flair Collection.” It takes the collection that was released a few years back and kicks it up a few notches. Awesome is not strong enough of a word to describe how good it is.

    Great job, Jan :) Thanks for filling in for the busy but lazy Jillian.

  7. Angelika July 17th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    Hi, Jan! Nice to hear from Jillian’s fleece wearing other half.

    Good job. :-)

    Jan! Nice to meet you. I think you did am great job holding down the fort for Jillian.

    Sweat Pants (and pajama pants) are my life. If it was socially acceptable, I would always ALWAYS be in sweats.

    As for teenagers, you don’t have to tell me. I am raising one. And I hate him sometimes. But, then I remember I was once a teenager too, and not a nice one.

    Again…Good Job. Great Post.

    Now send Jillian back to us. We miss her.

    Am I the only one who realises that we were ALL teenagers at some point? So to hate them is to hate a little part of yourself! LOL I just don’t think they suck all the time… they’re just hard to deal with - so I try not to.

    Uhm… I prefer shorts to sweatpants. How do you feel about shorts Jan?

    Btw, nice to meet you! But… we miss Jillian damnit!

  10. Ne July 18th, 2008 at 6:04 am

    I am a teen, but yeah I disapprove of them also!

    I am a boxer kind of gal!! great post! let Jillian know we miss her, but we would love some of your posts from time to time also!!

    @ Jan- This was funny. Good job… now please do some laundry. Thanks! :-D

  12. .45 July 18th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    @Jillian- Doing laundry is for people that don’t have sweatpants.

  13. JD at I Do Things July 20th, 2008 at 6:48 am

    Uh oh. I don’t want to be around when Jillian finds out you described her voice as “shrill.”

    I approve of sweatpants, too. In fact, sweatpants with convenient venting holes in strategic spots are the best!

    Enjoyed your guest post.

  14. Grumpus July 20th, 2008 at 7:14 pm

    You guys must have some excellent conversations at your house.

  15. Roufa Tav Gosou & Mimi Lass July 23rd, 2008 at 2:49 am

    Yeah, yeah. Can anybody come collect the
    award?

    Do you approve of it?

  16. Rihanna November 10th, 2008 at 7:48 am
