1. Why do normal clocks stop at 12? Wouldn’t 24 be better? 2. Why don’t they have layaway in stores anymore? 3. Why are fingertip towels necessary? 4. Why do I have so many pets? Pet envy? 5. Is rock ‘n’ roll really here to stay? 6. Why are there so many nail salons? 7. I wear white after labor day. So screw you. 8. The big One: is there a higher power? not counting Cecil 9. @VOW, I hate the white stuff in Oreos too. What is that? Lard, perhaps? 10. I’m floating around the universe too, am I a star? Yes, yes I am. 11. I use eyeliner to accentuate my eyes then I wear sunglasses. Dumb? 12. I wear socks with my Crocs. The lil’wrekker sighs. It’s not a crime, yanno? 13. Well this is bad luck. I hate the #13. 14. Why won’t Dish network send me that gift card for switching services? Bastards! 15. I never really worked. Will retirement change my life? 16. How many Star-treks is enough? 17. But…I want more Star-treks. 18. Why do leftovers pile up in my fridge? Shouldn’t we just throw them away in the first place? 19. When you make toast aren’t you recooking an already cooked item? Seems redundant. 20. What is bologna? NM. I don’t wanna know. ---

The One of the many reasons I like both of you. But are they _fun_ socks that make your kids embarrassed to be seen with you? That’s important. With socks it is important to go wild or go home. ---

Hey. There’s my Crocs. Bayliss put a hole in one. The lefty. When I walk it makes an unfortunate sound that appears like I’m flatulent. Good grief ---
