YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN… — by Steve Nadis
CALL ME SNAKE is proud to announce A NEW CONTEST–”THE YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN…” CONTEST. The idea is simple enough and rather than try to explain the obvious, a few examples should make it all pretty darn clear. So without further ado, here are those examples I promised not too long ago:
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you get dishwashing gloves for your birthday.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you get dishwashing gloves for your birthday and think it’s the best gift you’ve ever had.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN your greatest ambition in life is “zeroing out”–i.e., purchasing items with coupons and or rebates (in-store only!) for zero cents (and preferably even less less).
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you recount your bill-paying travails from the night before to all who will listen, mainly your cat.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN your wife and kids have no trouble adding to the list.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN no one ever contradicts you by saying: “Hey wait, you’re not boring. You’re actually kind of interesting.”

YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you think dishwashing gloves are a great gift!
That’s excellent, WFW, though it does sound vaguely familiar…
Drat….I tried to steal yours. Umm….there’s a story behind this. My dad gave me a pair of these fantastic dishwashing gloves. I’ll go look them up. I was so ecstatic!
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you go searching for different kinds of dishwashing gloves on the web and are thrilled to find COUTURE ones.
Here’s the link for all who aspire to such greatness:

They were featured in Style magazine.
We should take up a collection for Snake, because I personally think he’s a “Style” kind of guy.
By the way Snake, are you metrosexual?
I don’t know that word but I was happy to receive the gloves for my last birthday if that’s what you mean.
Main Entry: metrosexual
Part of Speech: n, adj
Definition: a heterosexual male who has a strong aesthetic sense and inordinate interest in appearance and style, similar to that of homosexual males
Etymology: 1994; blend of metropolitan + heterosexual
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you leave five comments in one blog and lurk around for responses.
I don’t think that word describes me at all, except for my appreciation of good dishwashing gloves (on account of a tendency toward dried, chapped hands).
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BORING WHEN you look forward to spending Friday night having watching a movie at home while eating takeout chicken wings, celery with bleu cheese and with handcut french fries.
You know you’re boring…
when you look in the mirror and yawn.
I think pressed one too many enters before. Ooops.
I appreciate your honesty FW&WFW. Sometimes the truth, well if it doesn’t hurt, it might at least sting a bit…
You know you’re boring when you have nothing better to do than come up with catchy phrases for a contest.
You know you’re boring if you consider uploading and organizing your photos on Flickr a great way to spend a weekend.
You know you’re boring if you consider baking various desserts for a reception for 50-100 people a great way to spend the following weekend.
nicely done, OR, & — as w/all good writing — true.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - whah??? Sorry, what we’re you saying, Snark?
that’s a good one, TB; ya got me there.
Windfall Woman,
You are not boring when your dishwashing gloves are devinely elegant (like those sold by RoyalAccessories.com)and you wear them to entertain your friends at fabulous parties!!!
Windfall Woman,
My birthday party was a hit when our hostess put on hot pink dishwashing gloves with a rhinestone bracelet and leopard faux fur cuffs and matching leopard hostess apron to clear the table after the party! I was thrilled to open my gift of Pink Passion Dishwashing Gloves from RoyalAccessories.com as one of many fabulous gifts…
Maybe the yellow supermarket gloves are boring, but these are the best gift I received…in turn I give them as hostess and shower gifts - always the hit of the Party!!
Thanks Anon, I enjoy my high-end gloves too even though I think it makes me boring.
