The holiday weekend approaches. And with it, the end of summer. It happens every year, so there’s no reason for us to be surprised. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t carry a hint of sadness with it. The briefest regret that perhaps we are forgetting something. Perhaps an opportunity was missed. All those items on the Summer Bucket List that remain unchecked, and so few days to check them off. Of course, before we know it, we’ll be buried neck-deep in autumn, and any residual regret from a summer wasted will be pushed aside by the annual high-level anxiety over what inanimate object to make “sexy” for Halloween?! And then it will be Christmas. And then we’ll all be dead. But for today, we momentarily look back, our skin still warm, our hands still raised to shield our eyes from the sun, and that’s when we get it. That’s when we get it right in the face.
And we’re done here, indeed. R.I.P. SUMMER 2010!

Bye, ya’ll.
I never stress, because obviously the best sexy costume is the sexy pumpkin.
I am planning on going as (sexy?) Carmen Sandiago. Which on further thought probably means I will wear a red fedora and hide in an unspecified location, texting my friends in a most vexing manner.
Oh I’ve done that – it was so fun! One warning though: you’ll get dudes attempting/failing to be Rockapella around you all night. . .
Hmm I don’t know. I dressed as Agent Scully one year and everyone assumed I was Jodi Foster in Silence of the Lambs. Dudes coming up behind you and whispering “Hello Clarice” is all kinds of creepy.
If you want that, I’ve got an ex-boyfriend you can borrow. Keep, even.
Sexy Carmen Sandiago is repetitive

I’m upvoting you despite the picture fail, because I love brightestyoungthings.com! My best friend sends me articles all the time.
Welp, I’ve called myself a cab. See ya, everyone.
Thanks, I Like A Skinny Tie! I could not reply directly under your comment, so I’m posting it here. Does anyone feel like telling me the right format for embedding images?
(This thread is not my shining thread moment.)
Yerghost. The way to post images it to just put the link to the image. Basically exactly what you have above except with the img tags.
nice.
i beg to differ. What about sexy montauk monster?
I think you meant to say slutty pumpkin, Ted Mosby.
“The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to fall face first on the concrete?”
from “Second Cumming” by W.B. Yeats
You know, that poem never made sense to me. Until now. Take that, falconers.
I first learned the word “gyre” from that poem. Also, ew.

“I see the boys of summer in their ruin,
laughing at friends right?
I mean one has definitely broken her nose.”
-Dylan Thomas
“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because there’s a fucking curb up ahead and we are in a grocery cart.”
“He Wishes for Some More Drunk Bitches” by W.B. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaats
“So this is how the summer ends; first a bang, then a whimper.”
Maud Gonne got pwned by that street.
“Out on the road today
I saw a guy push two girls in a shopping cart…
A little voice inside my head said don’t look at that
Don’t ever look at that…
I thought I knew what dumb was, what did I know?
Those kids are drunk forever, I should just let ‘em roll, but
I can see you
Your orange skin shining in the sun
You got so fuckin’ tanked now
Lookin’ so cool, baby
I can tell you my disgust for you will still be strong
After the boys of
summer have…pushed some drunk chicks off the curb?”
–early draft, “Boys of Summer”
Don Henley (1808-2013 [he'll outlive us all])
Call the roller of grocery carts,
The muscular one, and bid him push
In one such cart concupiscent girls.
Let the wenches dawdle in such bikinis
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Stand around probably in last month’s underwear.
Let faceplant be finale of bop-bop-bop-bop.
The only internet is the internet of ice-cream.
Take cart from parking lot of Vons,
Lacking the three good wheels; toss that sheet
On which she spilled Goldschlager once
And spread it so as to cover her smashed face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and so waaay totes dumb.
Let her plummet onto nose with scream.
The only internet is the internet of ice-cream.
Marry me.
Okay. But I might leave you for southern bitch. She’s in a band.
I don’t want to marry you, but I would brush your hair.
Perhaps, in retrospect, my comment seems less funny and more creepy.
Mans, you started the poem game — you have earned the right to be creepy.
Love you guys. Seriously. Love. You. Guys.
Seriously. This entire comment thread has been
There he is.
Uh-Oh, Looks like somebody went Ho-cery shopping!!!!
These children are responsible for their own choices, but It’s sad that someone could be so far gone that they would respond to a girl’s potentially serious facial injury by continuing to run video while casually saying with a laugh, “Aaaaand, we’re done.”
*sigh*
He probably uploaded it from the ambulance.
At least we accomplished something this summer:
That dog dances just like Betty Draper!
There are so many questions….
Where they walking home from the beach when they saw a shopping cart?
Or did they use the shopping cart to carry the many, many beers they needed to enjoy the beach?
What does that yelling thing mean in the beginning?
It’s such a mystery….
Dear Twilly,
Mixing up “Were” with “Where” makes you look like a dullard.
Love, Twilly
Well, no wonder. Those idiots are suing the ShopEase 3200 Shopping Kart. Those models always have problems with curbs and douchebags.
I am all geed up for Winter now guys, prepared to dash through Autumn leaves (or Fall depending on your geographical position)! Big warm coats, scarves, cocoa all round and visiting department store Santa Claus’ to creep out the children, parents and elves!!!! Can Not Wait!!!!
Yes! Cold weather means more Hot Drinks!
Depending on geographical position, it could also be Spring, or Herbst, or any number of foreign words. I mean, if you’re going to be geopolitically correct…
And as I pushed my girlfriend and her best friend with a shopping cart i realized something. Not only was the summer over but also our infancy. Maybe the summer went by so fast because we were eagerly looking ahead at what the future would bring, maybe it went by so quickly because we were having so much fun, maybe it was the cheap vodka and Busch Light. Whatever it was, we kept our promise, the kind of promise that comes from the heart of the youth. The promise to keep on partying.
oh slothdrop. ♥ forever.
this post is operating on a whole nother level. classic.
If the end of summer marks the arrival of Shopping Cart Follies, then I say bravo and good show. Also, I live in southern California, so it’s not like I care if summer ends or not. Sorry guys.
(sigh) …and on 9/02/10.
Well, at least it’ll only be 100 years until the next one.
for some reason, my earlier posts didn’t go through….
Probably still awaiting moderator approval. I have a few from last week still waiting to be approved. At this point Gabe might as well reject them since no one will read them. No big deal they weren’t Monsters Ball quality.
No!! I think they’re fighting with their boyfriend. He is quite harsh to them.
Pure Hoodia
At least the cooler is alright.
“And then we’ll all be dead”; Most aggressive use of the yada yada yada plot device ever. They did the 153rd episode, then yada yada yada Jerry retired, got fat, and unfunnified.
Don’t see any way to let the summer go with no depression crisis :/

Do You know the real problem? The real problem is that nobody wants to return to work. Summer is always a chance for holidays…
