I Hate the Word Macaroni

Was there ever a word more stupid than macaroni?  Seriously, say it out loud right now.  You sounded like a jerk, did you not?  I really hate that word.  It also reminds me of macramé which I similarly detest.  People who enjoy macramé should be shot.  Of course the word macaroni also reminds me of macaroons, which I find quite tasty.  But I still hate the word macaroni, and I despise equally the people who say it.  And worse than them are the people who say mac.  Are you kidding me?  Does one really use the word macaroni so often that those extra syllables were getting in the way?  Were they holding one back from the active, on-the-go lifestyle one desperately needs to stay afloat in our hectic modern world?  I think not.


What is wrong with saying pasta anyway?  It fits the need quite capably.  If macaroni has too many syllables for you, try saying pasta instead.  It is a noble word, a delight to say, and using it will not make you sound like a semi-retarded seven-year-old.

Since we are on the topic of Macaroni and Pasta, I have something that needs to be said. The shape of the pasta noodle will NOT make the meal taste better. Ordering angel hair, spaghetti, rotini, penne etc. They are ALL THE SAME THING. One over the other will not magically enhance your meal!!!! There is no difference in the way they cook or taste. It is just Egg whites and flour- boiled for 10 minutes. I have this deep rooted hatred for noodles in general, because people really do care. After working at an Italian restaurant for 3 years, it was really frustrating, when people REFUSED to eat the meal, if the noodles weren't right. Now I know what you are all saying, the texture is different, or it is easier to eat some types, but I have to tell you, you are wrong.(taken from the book of Nice Try, but you are Wrong chapter 5, pg 2- written by my lovely wife). All noodles, are easy to eat. How hard is it to pick them up with a fork...if they were really hard to eat in the first place, nobody would have made them..who wants a great tasting noodle, that looks fantastic, but is hard to eat. Imagine how hard it would be to sell this item. The Slogan, "at least it looks good falling on the floor" ????? Not exactly a great marketing campaign. I have to tell you, Im quite disappointed in this world of ours. When noodles can bring this much anger into the world, we know we have a problem.... I do say, however, I am not like most people. When I have problems, I find solutions. I am not going to tell you why I hate everything, and why it sucks, but give you no alternatives. I am a trend-setter, a go-getter. I am a noodle hating, college graduate with too much time on my hands. (Thanks Enron, for your wonderful decisions) For a solution- We can do a vote. It will be a worldwide vote for the best noodle. The winning noodle must receive 50% or more of the vote, and we can run through as many elections as we need to, eliminating the lowest point totals everytime. The winning noodle will be the only noodle allowed to be produced Under penalty of death. (punishment seems harsh, but we make an example of one or two people, we don't have to worry about people breaking this particular law anymore). Now you must be saying, this will cost millions of dollars to do. The man power will be extensive, and time wasted to find the best noodle will be a waste of time, but I have another solution for that as well. It will actually be cheaper in the long run. We may be wasting money now, but imagine in 5 years, how much money we would be saving. The labor alone, for creating different manufacturing machines for different noodles, will be reduced. We will cut down on imports of other noodles. Our exports would grow to the countries that can not afford or understand how to make the new noodles. This idea would change the WHOLE world economy, and we would really be ridding this world of an uneccessary evil. This is not a quick fix, but over time, the world will look back and wonder who the heck invented all these different kinds of pasta. To me it's almost like taking a Whopper from BK. No matter how you stack it, it's still a Whopper. I have to tell you, I am looking for support here. Sign your name at the bottom, add another comment, and when we reach 1,675,435, I will present my proposal to the world stage. And who knows, this may be the thing, that unites this crazy world of ours. Thanks in advance for your support.
Love Anthony C.
P.S. Macaroni, Macaroni, macaroni- It may be a crappy word to say, but dang- It is fun to type!!!!
