1. Cookies 2. _Dr. Phil_ 3. _Encino Man_ 4. Neckties 5. 20% 6. Hydroelectricity 7. Overpopulation 8. Greeting cards 9. Definately 10. Not wearing a seatbelt 11. Haven’t actually seen it, just trusting word of mouth (and of keyboard) 12. Actual USA standard is about 26.7% (8 minutes per half-hour show) 13. I realize it’s mainstream (hah!) in some areas, but not in Indiana 14. Causes or contributes to many other problems – pollution, high unemployment rate, war over scarce resources, etc. 15. An off-the-wall answer, but think about how much more text and artwork you get for so much less with a newspaper, for example 16. Definitely would be misspelled less if it were pronounced “dee-FIGH-NITE-ly” 17. At the very least, shouldn’t be sufficient cause on its own for a cop to pull you over ---

If you bought a ticket and find you can not use it, you should be allowed to sell it. It is not any business of the law. ---

It’s the only show I actively drown out. Horrible shrieking woman… 12. It’s worth seeing once, and Milton is amusing, but it’s just not as funny as everyone thinks it is 13. Not saying I like it that high, but they gotta make a buck on it somehow 14. It’s hard to think of anything else that prevents countries from sitting down and ironing out their differences in a productive manner 15. I’d never heard of the whole “very unique” thing until an episode of [_The West Wing_](http://www.westwingtranscripts.com/search.php?flag=getTranscript&id=31). Now I can’t not hear it. _shakes fist at Aaron Sorkin_ 16. They’re just a money-making scheme and they game the traffic lights to increase offenses ---

Anything my 17 year old wants to watch! 12. But I also want to add in greed as the flip side to poverty 13. Okay, it’s just my pet peeve today, but my 17 year old just told me that I probably wouldn’t have been a good English teacher (I teach math), because she can’t trust me to edit her papers. I use too many commas and do other “weird things”. So she only relies on me for spelling (which she’s horrid at). Well I wouldn’t do weird things if the rules hadn’t changed since I was in school! ---
