Can we all just get along?

Texas A&M seeks restraining order against Seahawks.

This is just silly. There are suing or restraining or something because of the use of “Home of the 12th Man” or something. Usually, I’m all for a school keeping its traditions, but this is just dumb.

Texas A&M is a red state. Seattle is in a blue state. Of course they stole it, and they’re claiming all the credit! Just wait ’til they lose, and blame it all on Texas A&M and the way they hurt the money for the poor, or something.

I dunno. Just can’t muster even the slightest concern for the Super Bowl. None. Not even a softball of a story like this gets me interested.

9 Things Ben Franklin Really Said

9. A good conscience is a continual non-denominational winter-solstice holiday season.

8. Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to the Bush Administration.

7. A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you get a lot of trackbacks.

6. He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for Haliburton.

5. He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else than becoming the head of the Democratic National Committee.

4. Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What’s a sun-dial in the shade? No, seriously. I’m working on this crossword puzzle. Eight letters.

3. Energy dependence on foreign oil and persistence to oppress other people with our version of freedom makes us conquer all things.

2. All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse. This, of course, being a plot by Karl Rove.

1. All would live long, but none would have adequate healthcare.

The difference between men and women

Man say stuff like “my word of the day is ‘relations’”

Women say stuff like “my word of the day is ‘beg for mercy’”

Remember that, and you’ll be a happy, wise, and old man.

Five Habits

Wow, it’s been a while, huh? This is all L.’s fault:

Here are the rules: “The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You are tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.”

And here are the 5 habits of highly neurotic me:

5. I can’t stand being wrong. Obsessively so. In fact, I’ll spend weeks of research to make sure I’m not wrong.

4. I hate spammers. Vicious hate. Spammers are stupid people.

3. I hate stupid people. Vicious hate. No remorse.

2. I hate people who don’t realize they’re wrong. This includes myself.

1. There’s times when I just can’t think of anything else. This is one of those times. And it kills me that I can’t think of five things, and thus making this my fifth thing, thus making me wrong, then making me violate #5, which leads me to #2, which makes me even more neurotic.
