That Time of Year Again

"Would you like to donate a dollar to help support Dry Grad?"

Fuck no. Tell the organizers to fund their own bullshit bummer party, buncha' nanny-state killjoys. Will there be multi-culti piggy-back rides? And what's with the gritty distressed type? What's that supposed to convey - dark, edgy good clean fun?

My grad was in a shitty gym with shitty decorations and shitty music, but the Dry Grad people seem to think that we should be coughing up for the kids to go on goddamn ski trips and harbour cruises. What the fuck? Anything else I can get you? Maybe some solid gold skis? Hey - if you want to go dry, how about you just get your ass into the shitty gym and suck on a soft drink and then I don't have a panhandling cashier hitting me up for a buck every time I go grab beer? Tsunami relief, hurricane relief? I'm there - but dry grad? That's all wet.

You had me at "multi-culti piggy-back rides." And I'm with you, this crap makes me want to punch those kids in the neck.

As an employee of a BC govt. liquor store, I can tell you that nearly all of the cashiers dread this annual bullshit, but unfortunately we have to ask every customer or risk our jobs. I certainly don't enjoy asking for money for crap like this.
The hypocrites are the government trying to appear socially responsible while encouraging us everyday to get those sales figures up. "Would you like a pocket-size vodka with your 6-pack?"
I am ok with alcohol/drug abuse education for high-schoolers...

I don't get why they don't just put out a donation jar with a sign or something, then both employee and customer don't have to go through the ritual.

We get more donations if we make people uncomfortable.

my grad was the only time in my life that I experienced temporary blindness from alcohol abuse. this new age shit is robbing our youth of such valuable experiences.
