If you know me, you know that my train of thought can jump tracks, or change tracks to a tangential idea at the drop of a hat. Chris, over at Slap & Tickle, posted about new Valentine treats from a company that I've loved for years called Despair, Inc. They take the fun pessimistic view of anything that comes along. They have a line of "De-Motivation" posters in response to those annoying motivational posters that came out a decade or so ago.
It made me remember the fun I had when I first discovered Despair, Inc. And also made me remember how pissed off some of the folks were that actually loved those motivational posters. Since I was at a loss for what to post today, but knew I needed to since my luge accident on Wednesday had me home bound yesterday, I thought I'd just toss up something from Despair.
So feeling feisty as I do (nothing like being bedridden for a day to make you feisty when you can actually move again) I thought I'd take another stab at those people with the motivational posters.... I mean really.....

I hope you're feeling better after your fall - do we get to see pics of the bruises?
Btw, I ADORE despair.com. Fabulous.
Bwaahaa... this reminds me of that movie, where they guy is whining... "I'm a winner, not a loser"... what the hell is that movie??? Is it an Adam Sandler movie? that's pretty much all I watch!
How about..."If you need a motivational poster to get motivated, you should have already been fired"?
I hat those fucking motivational posters. And anything lile them such as "We can't spell S_CCESS without U!"
I love Despair, Inc. I love the banner they claim is in their warehouse: "We can't spell FAILURE without U R A..."
My other favorite is the picture of a bag of small fries and the caption "Potential: Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up." Too funny... yet, sadly true.
