Toolbag of the Year: 2008
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Seeing as this is likely the last Toolbag Wednesday of the year for me, I wanted to take this opportunity to rehash the Toolbags of yore. There were guppies and racists, pregnant smokers and salt and vinegar chips, and there were those who almost but not quite made the list. The honorable mentions included the break up, John Mayer, my ghost, The Commuter, the slow fade, and this craptastic Chicago winter.
Of those that did make the list; cast your vote now for the Toolbag of 2008. Here are your choices once again:
- Heidi Montag-Pratt
- Guppies
- Chatty Cathies
- National Take Your Kids to Work Day
- Bubble Skirts
- Andy Bernard/ My Tivo
- Hyuk Norris
- Hodgkins, IL
- The Bathroom Troll
- After-the-Fact Boys
- Alcoholic Voters
- Pregnant Smoke Breaks
- Salt and Vinegar Chips
- Racist Gun Owners
- Facebook Cult Members
- [Expletive] Blagojevich
- Write in entry. Who’d I miss?



#7 fo sho
what a douchenozzle.
Is it wrong to say Sarah Palin? I mean, not even for the politics, which- I can respectfully disagree with her on, but that whole moment at the RNC where she mocked community organizing still annoys the hell out of me.
And you’ve got Heidi and John Mayer… so yep, that’s my entire list!
This may be quite predictable of me but after some consideration, I’m going to have to go with After-the-Fact Boys. Truly the worthiest holder of the Toolbag Title in my eyes.
Ooooo! PALIN! Yes.
My vote is for #15 – Facebookers. I have ignored at least a dozen invitations from these kooky people. If I know you in real life, I don’t need to befriend you in cyberspace. And now I’m getting invitations from other sites like reunion and linkedin. Gah!!
Facebooking is different from (and somehow inferior to) blogging, right? I sure hope so.
