    What a night!  I guess I shouldn't use an exclamation mark because it wasn't that exciting but in grammar when you start a phrase with an interrogative pronoun and it isn't a question you use an exclamation mark.  Anyway I watched some TV and was relaxing.  I love The Office this evening.  I was worried that the show wouldn't be that good without Steve Carrell but it actually works so much so that when I see syndicated episodes I feel weird seeing Michael.  Erin is such a rube and I love it and then the Battle of Schrute Farm...OMG!  Too funny.  I tried watching Whitney and only made it 3 minutes into the show.  It's so awful.  So I decide that I'm going to try to have a healthy snack and finally eat a persimmon I bought last weekend.  I've never had a persimmon and this was the first time I've ever seen one in a store.  I've seen trees for sale and have thought that if I liked the fruit I may plant a new tree.  I take a bite and notice it has an interesting flavor and texture.  I take another bite and think...hmmm my mouth feels funny.  This is weird.  Bite three.  I can't swallow.  OH MY GAWD SOMETHING IS WRONG!  My throat is swelling and it feels like my mouth has turned to gravel.  I quick grab and inhaler and take a puff.  I'm breathing and I spit out the fruit.  I run to my kitchen and put my mouth under the water faucet and start drinking so I can wash my mouth out.  I think I had an allergic reaction.  I threw out the remainder of the fruit and said "Never again."  I'm still still rinsing my mouth out and now I think I'm developing heart burn.  That was so freaky.  Then I watch It's Always Sunny and The League.  That show was awful in a good way.  Then I caught some Law and Order Criminal Intent and saw Jim from The Office playing a high school basketball player.  Times like tonight make me wish I wasn't alone.  Times like this make me want links...oh here they are.

    1.  I was at Walmart the other day looking at movies, specifically Pirates of the Caribbean 4.  I wanted to buy it but I have no use for a BluRay disc so I figured why spend $15 extra for something I won't use.  Then it hit me.  There are so many pirate movies out there.  Here are some you won't see in Walmart.

    2.  Another thing I've noticed as far as movie trends go is that there are a lot of vampire movies out there.  In fact I think Twilight opens today.  I like vampires but not the sparkly wussy kind.  I've often wondered if people truly feared those creatures.  Well here's a collection of actual vampire hunting kits so I guess that answers my question.  Has anyone out there read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

    3.  I often use puns on this site because let's face it, the pun is the funniest form of humor.  Well here are some puns that you might think are quite punny.

    4.  If you know one thing about me, you'll know I like video games.  I'm not to hip on the new stuff but old school games were my thing.  Some of the best video games were series games like Double Dragon, Mario, Megaman, Street Fighter, Madden, etc.  Well sometimes the company put out a game just to make a buck and it was quite obvious.  Here is a list of some of the worst games in beloved series.  #6...the name alone tells you it was bad.

    5.  I hear there are some of you who enjoy sexual relations.  I have no clue what those are.  Here's a list from everyone over at Lovelyish's favorite website, College Candy, talking about the worst places to have sex.

    6.  Here's another site that offers a he said/she said guide to the worst places to have sex.  No backseat of a Volkswagen?

    7.  A couple weeks ago I went overboard with the Halloween costume links.  Here's one last link to the best Halloween costumes of this year.

    8.  I have to admit something to you fellow Xangans.  I created a Tumblr.  This site on Tumblr is my favorite Tumblr.  It's called Facts and Chicks.

    9.  I'm not entirely sure about the background of this Tumblr.  It's a guy who is doing the Occupy Wallstreet but he's also protesting things sports related.  He also goes to College Gameday so he can Occupy Herbstreit.  If you like the college sports you may enjoy.

    10.  I know I've posted this site before but it's a good one.  If you've read this site for some time you'll know that I have a distaste for the Food Network.  Anyway, this site is called Food Network Humor.  I have to say it's pretty funny.

    11.  I remember watching the first few seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  I enjoyed it but over time it lost it's aura because the Star Trek market got watered down with all the different variations of the show.  Well there was always rumors about an eighth season because the actors were contracted for an eighth season, it was never produced.  Well here is a site that has tweets from a twitter account that features possible plotlines for the unaired 8th season.

    12.  Have you ever have a job interview that went poorly?  Have you ever had a job interview go so bad that you bit the interviewer?  Read this.

    And because some of you don't like words...

    The only thing I can think of for this one is...Darwin.

    That's what I would end up buying if someone bought me Guy Fieri DVDs.

    If Jerry Sandusky is executed for his crimes, this will be his last meal.

    She'll live on and on.

    That's how I plan my knuckle children.

    I think I'm going to try this.

    I love math almost as much as I love Jell-o Pudding Pops.  I wish they still made them but I suppose I could make Jell-o Pudding and put a stick in it and then put it in my freezer so I can have my own pudding pops.

    Connect the dots...la-la-la-la...connect the dots.

    Connect the dots...la-la-la-la...connect the dots.

    Well I don't like to brag but I think this post made me do just that.

    I just realized that I am wearing a Monty Python t-shirt and sweatpants.  How awesome would that be if I died and they found me wearing that?  Maybe they'd think I was doing the dead parrot skit.
