A loaf of bread...

WooHoo for YouTube!!! I can't count the number of times I've had conversations with people (of my age group) about the skit from Sesame Street where the kid has to remember what to buy at the store. "A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of buttah..." A lot of people would argue with me about the middle one... that it wasn't a *container* of milk. HA! I was RIGHT!

Sesame Street - A loaf of bread... from YouTube.com.

This makes me ridiculously happy.

Dancing with the stars DEBACLE

I steadfastly maintain that the same basic principles are responsible for both Emmitt winning Dancing with the Stars over the extremely more talented Mario as are responsible for Bush being president. Look, people, I'm not saying Emmitt is a *bad* dancer. Not at all. He's a gazillion times better than me, for example. But to put him in even the same competition as Mario is kinda ridiculous. And I'm not just saying that because Mario is on my Christmas wishlist.

Whomever these people are.... these people who think Emmitt deserved to win over Mario.... those are NOT my kind of people. This is why I feel like a freak when generalizations are made about people. About Americans. They are never talking about ME! They're talking about the kind of people who shop at Walmart. Oh, come on, you know who I mean. Even if you yourself shop at Walmart for some bizarre reason, you've surely noticed that there IS a "type" of person there, right? That's who I mean.

I just don't get it. I don't get them. But, I figure they must think the same thing about me. And then I wonder if they even wonder about other people -- people like me, for example. I just don't know.
