watch the Montreal Canadiens win the Stanley Cup again
go on a cruise as a guest passenger
relinquish my crown as BartCop Pokerfest Champion
sell enough Midling Calendars to retire and live in a lifestyle that I'd like to become accustomed to
play a game of Mah Jongg at a place where I am currently residing

finding like minded individuals on the internet
being able to post whatever I want, whenever I want
pointing out things that I think others might be interested in
being able to practice writing and receive rapid analysis of what I write
the possibility that something I write will generate a comment from some of those who read it
being able to develop rudimentary html skills and verify that they work the way I want them to

seven things i say most often
HABS!
anyways,...
is it time to go home yet?
homey don't play that
marriage is an institution - and I'm not ready to be institutionalized just yet
systems, this is Tom. Can I help you?
you'll never believe what I just saw

seven books that i love
all five books of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy
all the books in the Lord of the Rings set including the Silmarillion
all the books in the Foundation series (six Foundation books, and the R. Daneel Olivaw novels)
all the books in the Heinlein alternative history series*
all the books in both of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever
Illusions
all the books in the Spider Robinson Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series

seven movies that i could watch over and over again
History of the World, part I
Spun
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Heavy Metal
the Shawshank Redemption
Blazing Saddles
And Now For Something Completely Different

seven movies that i watch over and over
the seven dramedy/action movies showing on the cabloid movie channels at the curent time that I decide to stop at when there's nothing else (that I would be interested in viewing) on and I'm channel surfing**

seven people i want to tag (after doing a search on their recent blog material and confirming that they haven't played in the near past)

bruce at This is Class Warfare
hoffmania
tina's shark tank
suburban guerrilla
psotd
blaugustine
Nathan Newman

* - I'd love to sneak Job (A Comedy of Justice), Stranger In A Strange Land, The Number Of The Beast, and At Long Last Love Time Enough for Love*** into the set, too, if I could get away with it.

** - which almost never happens any more, so it's pretty much a moot point. I think I'vr seen Kill Bill I a few times lately, Spidey 2 has been viddied more than once, and the Shawshank Redemption is always popping up of late.

*** - faulty rememberence of novel title corrected by the Funny Farm Editorial staff. D'oh!

Tom, I'm flattered and blushing but I must decline your invitation. I am allergic to quizzes of any kind and really don't have any answers to these questions. Someone else tagged me and I had to refuse too. Sorry to be such a spoilsport but sincere thanks for asking me and a very happy new year to you.

D'oh! I will try and find a replacement. Sorry to have tagged you without checking first. And sorry to have triggered your latest allergic reaction...

I hope you don't consider my comment as an unwarranted intrusion. After perusing your blog, namely, "the funny farm", I believe I can reasonably suppose both you and readers would welcome news of opposition to your "smirking chimp", my "dum'ya botch". In plainer terms, I want to run for Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District on a platform calling for the impeachment of President George Walker Bush.

Ah, before you click on any of the enclosed hyperlinks, please read the entirely of my comment. For example, the three planks I nailed together in my platform out to get me elected. "impeach bush" is the first plank. The second is "impeach bush". The third is like the second, "impeach bush".

To continue, the first hyperlink below leads to the opening salvo of my campaign.

As for the second hyperlink, it leads to evidence that my candidacy is about more than opposition solely for the sake of opposition.

That last comment really wasn't the type of thing I was expecting to read as a response to this post...
