Ah, the change of lifestyle.  For eons, man has struggled with changing himself for the better.  Women, too, have struggled to make men better, but that's another post.  In a way, it's the ultimate struggle: fighting all of your urges, instincts, and whatnot for no one other than yourself.  There's no one to help you.  There's no one that can do it for you.  It's all up to you.

Of course, you CAN ask for incentive.  Not because it'll help, necessarily, but it does get you something for what you were going to do anyway.  After all, I'm giving you the ultimate gift: The gift of me.  The least you can do is off me a congratulatory pat-on-the-back.  Or hookers and low-carb blow, for the generous types.

Ten things that I've done that your sorry ass never has:

1. Found just under $10,000 cash in a pile of newspapers.
2. Ran into Barbara Eden's thigh head-first in a Hawaiian swimming pool (Hilton Hawaiian Village, to be precise).
3. Spent $300 on a fountain pen with a specially ground nib.
4. Been mentioned in a feature film commentary as the name of a gargantuan sex toy.
5. Started smoking (regularly) at 32.
6. Quit smoking at 32.
7. Won Ray Parker Jr.'s "Chartbusters" album on vinyl.
8. Written a book review of "Catcher in the Rye" in the style of "Catcher in the Rye".
9. Bought "The Jerk" and "Schindler's List" on VHS on consecutive days (paying over $100 for the latter).
10. Been considered the foremost expert on the death of Abraham Lincoln in your whole po-dunk ratty-ass high school.

A thought i just had...

I'd like to see a movie where Spider-Man bites a normal goat and gives it super powers, such as being a really good kisser and being able to pee while standing, in addition to all the spider stuff. Then the goat could bite a buffalo and pass on his goat-powers, in addition to the spider powers and man powers that he acquired through his bite. The buffalo could bite a lemur, and the lemur could sink his teeth into a lion, and the lion could nibble on a koala bear, which itself will get toothy with a bulldog. If that bulldog ever bit a man, then Spider-Man-Goat-Buffalo-Lemur-Lion-Koala-Bulldog-Man would be born and save us all with his web-slinging and trash-eating and cud-chewing and roaring and eucalyptus-eating and gassy-slobbery-snoring. Plus, he'd be all cute like a lemur.

That would be a kick-ass movie, is all I'm saying.

I just spotted an error on CSI.  The character is talking about his fish tank and names "clown loaches, neon tetras, angelfish...", although earlier shots only showed ryunkin goldfish.  Goldfish and those other fish wouldn't last terribly long together, because goldfish like it a good 10-15° cooler than the tropicals.

judithpreitht, you have a tank yet?
