Just for Fun: November 2005 Archives

alicia got me with a somewhat ironic meme in light of the post five down from here.

There's no actual description of the meme, so I guess I'll have to figure it out somehow...

I confess that I enjoy certain morally suspect movies, specifically violent movies, and especially mafia flicks and movies where "the good guys" and "the bad guys" are morally equivalent.

I confess that working with truck drivers makes me swear more.

I confess that I find nothing whatsoever wrong with drinking alone.

I confess to feeling real malice, born of intense jealousy, towards the 2005 Chicago White Sox.

I confess to eating 3/4 of a row of Chips Ahoy cookies (~10-12 cookies I think) in about 5 minutes last week when I was sick and nothing else sounded good.

I confess that I'm starting to love rooting for Ohio State (my wife comes from a Buckeye family) and that it's refreshing to get on a winning bandwagon after two decades of football disenfranchisement at both the professional (Da Bears) and collegiate [the Fighting (haha) Illini] levels.

I confess that I purchased "Return to Me" on DVD simply because I needed a chick flick to round out my movie collection.

Is this enough? Can I stop now?

OK, I tag John Bambenek, the other Chris Lu, Ellyn and Zadok.

Dutch nerds with nothing better to do set up four million dominoes to break the world record for, well, domino knocking-over (which they themselves already hold). A bird flies through the window and sets off a chain reaction knocking down 23,000 of the dominos.

The bird is then promptly shot and killed by an exterminator who happened to be hanging around.

And of course, since it's Europe, the guy who shot the bird has received death threats and could be prosecuted.

A little early, but if I don't post this now, I'll never remember. My boss sent me this e-card today:

I WIll Survive.

WWII, Internet-style.

Bloody hilarious, but some bad language.
