Danny Gans doesn't do recessions, BP!

16. Stocking up on refrigerator boxes.

Congratulations to Snag for knowing how to count after 15.

Although to be fair, I imagine BP's head is clouded by visions of Brett Favre throwing interceptions like he just huffed some meth. After last year's Super Bowl Shitting of the Bed, I couldn't count correctly until the second round of the draft ended.

ummm, it's labeled TOP TEN.

which makes me stupid still, cuz mine is labeled 12. I know, I know. Got it mixed up with the Random eleven.

Wish you'd keep your lists consistent.

Also, to be fair, the smart observers knew that Sunday's game was a matter of who f-ed up first. On This Given Sunday, it was Favre. But we all know Manning WANTED to.

Hmmmph. Also, counting is overrated. By people who count.

It's like people who can crack their knuckles, thinking there's something special about cracking their knuckles.

AG, we must take pity on the weak, the helpless, the unbanned.

The ones who do not count.

I mean, can't count.

Can't count, can't spell...

We're all misfits here.

But Blue Girl, you're a blogger, and bloggers are supposed to make posts.

Churlita said...

Wait. We're supposed to conserve blog posts until we have something to say? Crap. I am so screwed.
