Desc: The summer cruelly forces novelty into the life of Andy Rooney.
DOS Word!! My grandpa didn't give that up until like five years ago. Because he hated not using delete and insert for copy and paste and REFUSED TO HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
Rub it in Andy. You're job is so easy and satisfying that vacation is a hassle. Meanwhile, everybody else is desperately looking for any job, even one that you might possibly need a break from now and then.
Didn't you watch the video? They work him to the point of exhaustion !
I seriously laughed very loudly when I read your comment, dancingshadow. Probably because I've been drinking but god dammit I'm happy now, thank you.
Does his work consist of pecking out a few barely coherent opinions and observations in between naps, while interns scramble about getting the real work done? Yes, I think it might.
Either Andy is the oldest troll or he is not self aware.
I was thinking something like that.
Fun is tiring for Andy Rooney, and I suspect that it always has been.
Is it Rooney week here again already? It's the most wonderful time of year.
Dude has a lip like a rhino's.
Why can't he be a miserable prick in the media during his vacation as well? What's stopping him?
I like the bit where he finds out potato chips are .50, and he repeats the total incredulously, as if the clerk pulled a knife on him, "They were 5 cents back in my day!"
He's right, doing things is really horrible.
I can only conclude that Mr. Rooney's entire body of work is an elaborate piece of performance art designed to make us reflect on the impermanence of our lives, and the slow yet inevitable deterioration of everything we have worked to achieve.
On second thought it's just a crazy old man ranting about vacation.
This is why the pod people failed to take over the world, instead being marginalized to small bits of media wherein they vent their confusion.
So, Andy goes on vacation with just Kleenex and a couple books?
what..is he doing in that car?
He's driving in circles so he can unpack his kleenex.
i like to think he is driving according to the way the road used to be zoned, because damnit don't you know back then was so much easier to get around?
