Bakers Dozen

Reasons why Elendil’s Heir passed on this topic:

1: Traumatized from having just sat on a waffle cone in his best suit.
2: Needs to catch up on DVR’d episodes of True Blood.
3. Someone said “Hey, is that Keira Knightley?” and he looked. Again.
4. Elendil threatened to cut him out of the will.
5. Saw a plastic bag floating on the wind and had to sit back, stupefied with wonder.
6. Still too heartbroken that Peter Dinklage didn’t win an Emmy last night.
7. All the Star Trek and Electric Light Orchestra topics have already been covered.
8. He’d spent all his time coming up with a good answer for the last category that he was fresh out of ideas
9. He’s camped out at Madison Square Garden, waiting to buy tickets for the big Loverboy reunion concert.
10. He’s out seeking revenge on Loki.
11. Figured naming a new category is just a marketing ploy by the Chicago Reader and decided to break the chain.

    (why is the TTM registered?)

[UT’s may be retained. However the battery only has a three-day warrantee. The TTM is registered because unregistered TTM’s (such as the Doctor’s Tardis or the Time Tunnel) tend to be inexact, to put it mildly.]
