Boringpants Day Mascot: dude who fell asleep at Dunn Brothers

Today might be one of the most tedious days ever in Minneapolis.  We have had a lot of snow this year.  What I mean by that is that we have had a ton of snow.  Then to top it off we are getting even more snow.  Today.  So much that Minneapolis declared it a Snow Emergency.  We really don’t need this right now world.  The thing that makes this even more tedious is that places in the of the country that usually don’t get snow got some snow, such as Washington D.C., and they are all excited about it.  And now they are all over the news like, “Look at us, we have a ton of freaking snow up in here! We can throw snowballs!  The White House has snow in front of it!”  Really?  The last thing I want to do is turn on my TV and see pictures of more snow when all I do is see piles of it outside.  Stop it stupid southern states!  It’s SNOW.  We don’t care.

Now you may ask me, how boring can today really be?  Well, it is so boring that I decided to get out of my office for a few hours and try to work at the Dunn Brothers near me on Loring Park.  I am there for about ten minutes and a dude in a chair near me totally falls asleep and starts to snore.  Loudly.  I decide to start Twittering about him and about how it is boringpants day.  Someone tells me that the sleeping guy is the mascot of boringpants day.  I agree.  Dude who snores in the Loring Park Dunn Brothers is totally the mascot of boringpants day.  For sure.

You may also ask what is the big deal with being bored?  You may say so what if people in Minneapolis are bored for a while and it’s all snowy up all in there, the weather will change soon enough.  Well, I came across this article, “Beware: being bored to death can kill“.  Yes people, we are in serious danger up in here.  It turns out that the people from the Boredom Institute of New Jersey find that boredom is an international disease.  The problem?  People tend to find the most self-destructive and stupid ways to deal with it.  I hear that.  I believe we can look for a rise in crazypants behavior as boringpants day continues in Minneapolis.  The irony here is that even though it is a Snow Emergency in Minneapolis the real emergency may actually be boringpants day.  Boredom kills people.  Boredom kills.

    So jumping from the roof into a pile of snow may not be such a good idea then ….
