The "Do Not Understand" List

I've decided to make a list of things I don't understand. It will be a short list to start with but I think I will add to it in particularly labeled posts (rather than going back and editing this post every time, where no one would see it.) The idea of this list will be to have mini-rants over topics that don't make sense to me. Pointless little things that have too short of an argument for a full blog post. These things will be put down as I think of them, so there will be no defined order or sequence to the list. This way, I can rant about these minor yet valid things and not waste everyone's time with tiny blog posts ( I feel like it's not worth reading if it's too short... like it's dying right when you get interested if it's like that... I don't know... don't look at me like that! o.O)
And so, The Do Not Understand List:

1. Memorial stickers on cars:
    Sure this seems like a great idea, but for some reason every time I see a car window with "in memory of so and so" all I can think is "why would you put that on your car you doorpost?!"  Anyway... I know it seems like an odd thing for someone with a memorial tattoo to get peeved over, but I feel like there's a fairly substantial difference between tattoos and car decals. The first difference being that I feel like it's more personal or even respectful to put a person's memory on your skin, they become part of you, something you (hopefully) respect and take care of, whereas a car, much less likely to be taken care of as well. sure some people take really good care of their cars, but really now, I love my car, but I love my body more, I'm not gonna have my car tucked in bed while I sit out in a parking lot or a driveway in a hailstorm. Just how it is. Second thing, you might have gone to a lot of trouble to pick out the font and the clip art to send to the decal making company or whatever, but it's still just clip art and a standard font, it's not all that personal. People who get memorial tattoos typically get something hand designed, either by themselves of by an artist for them, it's unique and symbolic. I'm sure I could go over that bit better, but I'll leave it there. My last thing on this is - It's your car! How're you ever going to sell that thing when it says "Rest In Peace Fido" on the back window?

2. The dictionary:
    This just came to me actually as I was typing the above mini rant. My computer's spell check wanted to make "Doofus" into "doorpost" so I let it because I find it amusing. But then I got to thinking, why isn't Doofus a recognized word? I mean Homer Simpson's "D'oh" is in the dictionary for Mothers sake! The dictionary people are adding all sorts of stupid words that shouldn't be part of the English language and they can't add Doofus? I guess I'll just have to call people Doorpost from now on.

3. This thing...

The Beartato Squishable. (purchase here: http://www.squishable.com/pc/squish_beartato_15/Big_Animals/Squishable+Beartato)
What I don't quite understand is why I kinda want one... but what I really don't understand is how is that half potato? I see the bear, but other than that, it kinda reminds me strangely of the Tooth Fairies in Hellboy 2...

Well I think that's it for now folks, I'll think of more confusing things soon I'm sure. I think I'll also make different lists and update them the same way, let me know what you think.
