Highlights of My Day
1. Had a great conversation with this guy
2. Continued to question the ethics of the Charmin Ultra "less is more" commercial
3. Received an e-mail from my college roommate in which he swears our other roommate’s fiancé is in the newest Girls Gone Wild movie
4. Witnessed a 7 year-old flick off his mom after she yelled at him for beating up his little brother with one of those floaty noodles at the pool
5. Watched the same 7 year-old continue to beat his brother after his mom went back to talking on her cell phone
6. Sat next to an old guy at the bar during the Cubs game who must have used the phrase "there's more than one way to skin a cat" at least 5 times
7. I considered the outcome had I looked him straight in the eye and said, "oh yeah, name one."
8. Re-lived the days when I reigned as pencil-pop champion of my middle school
9. Finally discovered Stephen Baldwin's worst movie...Fled
10. Satisfied a craving for some Bubble-Yum by taking a shot of Pepto Bismol

What exactly is pencil-pop?
OMG...you saw Fled yesterday too? Yeah, it was on TV and I was bored. Ok, actually I couldnt find the remote and I was already comfortable in my seat and I really didnt feel like getting back up...but anyways!
Yeah, I saw the movie and during that one part when Selma Heyek was pretending to be pregnant and fooled an entire security team...how fake was that?
And then when she leaves out the door, the main guard he comes out like 3 seconds afterwards and cant see her...ugh...so bad.
Have you ever considered doing highlights AND lowlights of your day? That'd be hot.

That's much more exciting than my day!
I just responded to your comment, on MY blog, and then I thought... maybe I wasn't supposed to do that, cause then how would you know. Or maybe you would know. I don't know. This is an odd way of communicating. I'm easily baffled.
Pencil pop ranks as the #2 game behind RPS in the top 10 ways to waste time in school.
Two people play with standard #2 pencils. One person holds their pencil horizontally, while the other player puts as much torque on their pencil and lets go.
The two take turns as holder and flicker until one of the pencils breaks.
I will attempt to post illustrations of this game tonight.
Your blog sounds like mine...
I loved Bubble-Yum, when i could chew it! Now that i'm tortured with braces, i have to take a break. I must say though, that it didn't seem to keep its flavor long, and it got kinda tough.
Anyway, thought your blog was interesting and thought i'd say so.

Loved your blog! I too sit in a tiny cubuicle for 9 hours a day. The madness of the "higher ups" and the clients themselves have me contemplating the idea of lying in a fetal position under my desk. I look under my desk,and realize that I must paint my toenails, and the moment passes....
Thanks for making me laugh!!
I believe the phrase is "flipped off" not "flicked off"...
By the way, I'm an English teacher - Could you tell? All I can say is, thank god the pencil popping craze is over! I must have swept up hundreds of broken pencils over those couple of pencil-popping-crazed years. No wonder those 6th graders never had any pencils!
I found a website that can get you in touch with soldiers that need letters and care packages.... www.soldiersangels.com. Check it out!
Don Swayze's turn in Knuckle Sandwich could edge out Baldwin's Fled for worst nepotism-related acting bit in recent history.

Stephen Baldwin has a "worst" movie? I didn't realize you could rank levels of suckiness. Good job!
Hey, I randomly came across your blog and just wanted to say "thanks" for the interesting read.
uhhh....english teacher....ummmm...I think "Flicked off" works.......even if it is only slang (which is allowed on blogs, although perhaps not english papers)
Spot on. I simply have to add this blog to the list of places I think my readers need to go.
Thank you
Number 10 on your list blew me away!
I called it pencil fighting... and we actually had tournaments in our school. Some guys would "chop" at the other guys pencil by bringing down his whole arm. That was banned along with the no eraser thing.
The school eventually made us stop pencil fightin, so we had to go "underground" and do it in bathrooms and gym lockerroom between classes.
Nice blog. When I get mine movin again I'll link you!
wow. as a feline lover, i find ways of skinning a cat (by buck) frightening. :O)
cool blog!
?????
A friend of my mine developed a perfect way to win everytime. He would just act like he was gathering strenght or whatever and then would ask oppent 'Have you ever played nose break?' Then he would punch whoever he was playing in the face. After they would fall over (he punched very hard, and we were like 12 yrs old) he take the pencil and break it. No one ever wanted challenge him after that.
Your blog is great.
that guy is my friends stepdad
