I love it when teens challenge you to play video games with their triumphant look that says, "I dare you. You're so old anyway it's not like you'll win." But it seems teens today have forgotten something, namely that video games STARTED WITH MY GENERATION. Technically, there was Pong even before us...

Wednesday, September 9: Reader Submission
I received this rather angry yet totally valid reader submission from Buzz, who once again called me out on being too French by "prolonging" my vacation...
You gave us a taste
Got us all addicted
And 'French-Style', you quit
You said just August
Did you lose your calendar?
It's now September
My mornings were bright
The inbox would ding with joy
Where's my Lifeku, bitch?
He speaks the truth...

I'm back
Actually I've been back for a week, but I'm basically French now so I was extending my vacation without knowing it.... but I am back in France, where it is unusually cold and rainy for September, which totally blows chunks after a month in Thailand. And of course, no return to France could be complete without a crazy chick on the train:
My first morning back on the RER, this very strange woman sat next to me. She kept changing seats while singing to herself and sucking on some sort of candy that reminded me of that Bazooka chewing gum in a tube. Eww. She was in her 50's and had so much plastic surgery that she looked not unlike a cat...
Crazy Train Woman
I hope you like your candy
Your face is stretchy

Vacation
Let's face it, The Daily Lifeku is practically French... and not unlike the French, the Daily Lifeku takes the month of August for vacation. Please continue to send your reader submissions to dailylifeku@gmail.com since I'll be back in full force in September (also not unlike the French). In the meantime, marinate on this lifeku that is dedicated to my mom, who was attacked by a ferrel yet not ferrel abandoned psycho cat that happened to be rabies-free:
Oh no, Mom! Look out!
There's a cougar in Cape May
Cat Scratch Fever pills

Today's reader submission comes from my Twin Flame, who basically just says what I'm thinking anyway:
This Lifeku is dedicated to my e-mail server company, which obviously doesn’t like using any type of sorting techniques.
Stupid spam filter
No, I don’t need Viagra
Are you even on?

This is for someone I saw last night, you know who you are:
Unwelcome non-friend
Why do we still play this game?
You know I hate you

Today's lifeku comes from Shea, who has issues with his mother-in-law:
My mother-in-law moved near us recently. Since you've never met her you can't possibly know that there are no words in any language in the world that can accurately explain her. This lifeku was inspired after a shopping trip I took with Satan herself!
Mean old nagging wench
Find something better to do
Or be thrown in lake

I was feeling nostalgic, so I thought I'd bust out some 90's slang for today's lifeku. Anyone feeling in a particularly "It's the 90's" mood feel free to send your reader submissions for next week...

Could you be any weirder?
Stop wigging me out

Today's reader submission comes from Noelle, who will now probably think twice before reaching out to touch somebody:
"A long time ago, I went to the beach with my grandparents. We went to a reptile zoo and I left them to go use the restroom. When I came out, I noticed my grandfather leaning against the railing, so I decided to surprise him with a sudden hug. After I'd successfully wrapped my skinny little arms around him, he turned around with a look of shock on his face, and that's when I realized something. I'd hugged a complete stranger who didn't even remotely look like my grandfather."
Random old stranger:
sorry for the weird hug, man.
I bet you liked it.

Today's lifeku goes out to all of the ladies that I smell way too much on the morning metro:Parisian Women
Lay off the Angel*
You all smell like barf
*please note that Angel is a perfume intended to smell like chocolate, but more closely resembles rotting stomach lining.

Just because it's summer, doesn't mean you have to let it all hang out:
Droopy boob woman
Have you ever owned a bra?

I'm back
It appears as though I am finally back.... after what seems like years of waiting for a new internet connection. I swear, if France didn't give me 6 hour work days, 5 weeks vacation per year, and really good bread I don't know if I could handle it here without committing customer service murder. After several visits to the SFR boutique, two outbursts of crazy laughter when I just couldn't take it anymore, and mysteriously picking up my modem at a dry cleaner behind my house (don't even ask because I don't know), I now find myself reconnected.
Today's lifekus are obviously about how a country as developed as France (yes we have electricity and running water) can make things that should be so easy so freaking difficult:
Nonsensical France
You brought us the face transplant
But Wifi is hard??
Dear France Telecom
Screw your lame monopoly
Not another cent

Update
Okay so I have now been living without internet for so long that I have almost forgotten what it is. I am supposed to be "reconnected" tomorrow afternoon... if this is the case, expect The Daily Lifeku to come back in full swing. If The Daily Lifeku doesn't come back in full swing, you can assume that the French internet gods are punishing me...
In the meantime, this is for you, underappreciated Loreal commercial guy:
Undervalued guy
Don't you just wish they could see
How much you're worth it?

Today's reader submission comes from Buzz, who is quickly becoming my lifeku star:
I dropped my car off for service last week, and while they worked on it I went for a walk. I was horrified by the trash littering the side of the road. From fast food wrappers, to dirty diapers, to a plastic orange juice bottle filled with what looked like urine. Are you fucking kidding me? Where is the love for Mother Earth?? You ever see a cig smoker almost at the end of the butt, and they cup it, a secretly let it go?
Hey there cig smoker
Throwing it down discretely
You’re a litter bug!
What is that bad smell?
Ooh, baby’s made a poo-poo
Toss the diaper? Gross!
Hey there litter bug
I would love to see your home
Do you trash it too?

Although my Flame of Twin was not physically present when I was writing this lifeku, she was with me in spirit and therefore the "we" refers to me and her, not me and my man. That's right, when I say "we" I mean me and my flame because I'm just a feminist like that:
We never liked you
Especially when you talk
Your face makes it worse

As I am visiting Moomie, I have internet access for a few days and thought I would provide you with a couple lifekus to keep you going. If I knew when I would have internet, I wouldn't be living in France... so as far as "the return" is concerned, I can make no promises... but in the meantime, this goes out to all of you providing too much information:
Yes, you just farted
I didn't need to know that
Keep it to yourself

Hello fellow Lifekuers,
Unfortunately, Daughter is without internet at the moment and therefore unable to post... The Daily Lifeku will be on a miniature hiatus while Daughter waits for her new internet account to be activated. Lifeku you in a few days.
