I love this idea. Can I steal too? I'll have to do in installments as I have not figured out how to do nifty links on side
Yeeew! I'm not keen on mice either!
It would be amazing if there was life out there somewhere in some universe.
I enjoyed reading your list and checking out your blog. What I like is that it's interesting and upbeat.
Must try extra dry champers some day soon!
Not sure if you have email comments on, but two things:
Have you ever seen Man Bites Dog? It's a french documentary. Awesome.
Oh, and I used to have a red-tailed hawk as a pet.
Maggs: I haven't seen that documentary either but I'll check it out.
You used to have a red-tailed hawk as a pet?!?!?! WOW!!! How cool is THAT?!!
James, loved the list. I make them all the time too. It's my own personal OCD.

Just discovered your blog today and spent most of the morning reading it. Thanks. Three cups of coffee and I am still reading it, stopping long enough to tell you how much I enjoy it (the blog, not the coffee, the coffee is terrible).
Hey Glover!! Welcome to the insanity!! Actually, that's over at my other blog, which might be more interesting to you as it's my personal blog.
These early posts on "Political Junkie" are from the days when this blog was my only blog and contained a "little bit of everything."
Now it's totally political. The personal one with more posts like this is at:
