SUCKS TO BE getting married and giving birth at the same time

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Baby.widecLike most young couples, Erin Heather and Mark Weber dreamed of getting married and starting a family. But unlike most couples, they thought it would be a good idea to do both at the same time.

That’s right, Erin and Mark decided to tie the knot while cutting the cord, and held their nuptial right in the delivery room of a Madison, Wisconsin hospital.

Needless to say the Society page wasn’t there snapping photos. And the aunts and uncles that usually show up at these things for the free booze and the Chicken Cordon Bleu, all decided to pass in favor of not throwing up in their oxygen masks.

The whole event was arranged by Erin and Mark so that their child — who decided to arrive early —  would not be born a hopeless bastard with no chance at future.

So with a wedding party consisting of a nurse with ice chips, an anesthesiologist with a very long needle and a doc with really cold hands, Erin and Mark said their “I dos.”

We’re happy to report that after the ceremony, Erin gave birth to healthy baby girl… who also happened to catch the bouquet.

SUCKS TO BE Michael Hanley, man with 1,000-mile commute to work

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

070910006You think your commute to work sucks? Then walk a mile in Michael Hanley’s shoes. Or better yet, drive 530 miles in his car. Because that’s how long it takes for Mr. Hanley to get from his house in Wisconsin to his $28-an-hour job at the General Motors plant in Kansas.

If you’re counting, that’s about 20 gallons of gas each way and enough drive-time radio to make you want to drive into a Waffle House and end it all.

Sucks to be gutting it out in the Great Recession.

Good thing Michael makes cars. Because he’s gonna need a whole lot of them. By our calculation, Michael will go through about one GM vehicle a year.

And considering they’re GM vehicles, it also means he’ll be spending a whole lot on tow trucks. Which really sucks.

SUCKS TO BE Forbes Magazine, Part 2

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

forbes-logoIf you hadn’t heard, Forbes Magazine ranked the STBY home city  of Cleveland the most miserable place to live.

Yesterday, we gave them a big F-U.

Today, we’re taking action. If you’re a Clevelander or just a Sucks to be You warrior, join us in our quest to suck things up for them.

We are providing you with several resources/ideas to help you make their next few days (or weeks, or months) as miserable as possible.

For new subscriptions, you can go here.

When filling out the info, we suggest you put your name as Semore Butts, I P Freely  or Jack Mahogoff. Also, when you need to fill in the address, try 1600 Pennyslvania Ave. or something with 69 in it… that’s always funny.

You could also email them at readers@forbes.com. If this is your preferred route of civil disobedience, you might want to fill the email with any poem using the word, Nantucket. If poetry ain’t your thing just send them a picture of her:

fat_lady

You might also want to waste a few friends and family minutes to pick up the phone and give them a call. We’re good with that. As far as we can tell, the phone number is:

212-366-8900.

Use it at your indiscretion.

Like we said Forbes, don’t fuck with Cleveland. Because you may think our city sucks. But the truth is, you suck worse.

SUCKS TO BE picked on by PETA

Friday, February 12th, 2010

peta-duggars-300x91

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, whose 19-children family would qualify them as the nation’s 17th largest city, is getting picked on by the most unlikely of abusers: PETA.

Yep, the animal rights group is pounding on them like Rush Limbaugh on a baby seal.

Their weapon of choice? A billboard.

You see, in northern Arkansas, PETA has put up a rather provocative advertisement that reads, “Doggies multiply faster than Duggars.”

Ouch, PETA. Way to embarrass the USA’s only hope of out-peopling China.

And while it may be true that Daddy Duggar has about as much sexual restraint as a stray Rottweiler, it’s really not nice to publicly humiliate him.

In PETA’s defense, a spokesman said that by using the Duggar name, they hope to encourage pet owners to spay and neuter their cats and dogs.

I don’t know about you, the billboard just makes us want to spay and neuter the Duggars.

SUCKS TO BE a guy looking for a date in China

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

china-weddingA new report reveals that as many as 24 million eligible bachelors in China may never be able to marry because of a lack of women in the country.

New stats from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences show that in some areas of the nation, the dude-to-chick ratio was as high as 130-100.

This, of course, is terrible news for all those guys who had their hearts set on giving up their opinions, their remote controls and their nights out stuffing Yuans in the garters of Beijing’s pasty patrol.

But look on the bright side guys –  all that money you were going to spend on the dust ruffles, bathroom potpourri and apology flowers, you can now spend on porn.

Which is great news. Because you’re going to need it.

SUCKS TO BE Harriet Richardson Ames, dead the day after she graduates from college

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

embossedregencygold_lrgFor the 100-year-old Harriet Richardson Ames, getting a college degree was a lifelong dream. And last Friday, she achieved that goal when she got the sheepskin from Keene State College in New Hampshire.

The next day? She croaked.

Sucks to be you, Harriet. Now you can’t go through the wonder of sending out a gazillion resumes and putting on a happy face at a bajillion  interviews with people who have no intention of hiring you. You can’t enjoy the sheer pleasure of fighting it out with a gaggle of other college grads for that one job that actually exists in this, The Great Recession.

Yeah, Harriet. Too bad you can’t take that college degree and put it to good use for McDonald’s, like so many of you classmates will be doing. That minimum wage income woulda come in real handy when you try to make the rent payment to your ‘rents for living in their basement til you found a real job.

It totally sucks that you had to go and get work with the big guy.  You would’ve looked great with all those TGI Friday’s badges.

SUCKS TO BE pronounced dead by a Polack doctor

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

im_not_dead_yet_tshirt-p235785117202883141cfho_400Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died?

Five sailors died digging his grave.

Badoom!

And speaking of Polish funerals, there’s the real-life, not-so-funny story of one Josef Guzy who collapsed at his home and was pronounced dead by the Polish rescue squad.

“There were no signs of life when his wife called the ambulance, said  Jerzy Wisniewski, a spokesman for the ambulance service. “An experienced doctor with a specialist qualification in resuscitation found that the patient was not breathing, there was no heartbeat and the body had cooled — all the characteristics of death.”

Expect for this minor detail: Mr. Guzy was actually alive.

Don’t know what they teach you at the Gdansk Medical School for Retards, but you should find out where the heart is before you can actually check for the heartbeat. Putting that stethoscope on the man’s balls ain’t gonna tell you much at all, Dr. Dumbasski.

As a result of the misdiagnosis, Mr. Guzy was strapped into a coffin and sent off to the funeral home for family and friends to say their final goodbyes.

Just minutes before Josef was to be sent off to feed the worms, the undertaker discovered that Mr. Guzy actually had a pulse.

Doctor’s confirmed the undertaker’s findings. And after several hours of researching the Polack Book of Medical Procedures, they decided to postpone the burial.

Badoom!

SUCKS TO BE banned from Taco Bell

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
No entrar, Senior Strickland

No entrar, Senor Strickland

Poor Warren Strickland. The Fairbanks, Alaska resident had his last shirt-staining double layer Gordita, his last artery-clogging Chalupa Supreme, his last double crunch Taco with the disgusting Cheez-Whiz wedged between the shells.

You see, Warren has been ordered by the courts to keep out of all  Taco Bell locations in the universe for an entire year.

The sentence stems from an incident in which he tossed a freshly-made taco at a restaurant employee. Apparently the crack staff behind the counter had gotten his order wrong a couple times — something that rarely happens in the fast food industry.

When Warren went back to have his order corrected,  one of the “cooks” allegedly added a slimy green hawker to his replacement taco. Also something that rarely happens in the fast food industry.

When store manager Carol Dzimtrowicz served him up his new taco with the special sauce, Warren went Roger Clemens on her, and returned the item with a little chin music.

So now, Warren Strickland will need to think outside the spicy horsemeat. Which really kind of sucks for the guy. I mean, where’s he gonna get his 4th meal? The guy is going to go to bed starving every single night. He’s going to wake up crying and shaking and eating any morsel he can find. This isn’t Biafra, for God’s sake. This is the good old USA. And Warren’s punishment is the definition of cruel and unusual.

SUCKS TO BE the victim of office revenge

SUCKS TO BE at the Weight Watchers meeting when the floor collapses

Friday, January 15th, 2010
Stockholm Weight Watchers Headquarters

Stockholm Weight Watchers Headquarters

A Swedish Weight Watchers weigh-in was cut short when the floor they were standing on fell through.

Nobody is sure why the hardwood gave way, although many are suspecting that Berta, the new girl, didn’t stick to her 25 points, like she was supposed too.

Combine a couple extra low-cal Swedish meatballs with shoddy Nordic workmanship and you’ve got the recipe for disaster.

“Yaaa,” said one member, “Berta cheats. She hidesa da food in her pockets and in her pantaloons. She’s on a double secret probation righta now.”

For safety reasons, the Weight Watchers group has decided to hold their meetings on a reinforced cement slab in the parking lot. At least until Berta starts following the rules.
