Sorry, Eli

I just can't do it.

Why? Well... because. :) First, I'm anti-list-making, and I've known that for a long, long time, now. I used to bitch and moan at the endless laundry lists of "100 greatest guitarists," etc., on the very first music discussion list I found on the Innernets, back in 1989. The reason is this: I'd rather get to know someone through a conversation, over a long period of time, rather than put together a mental construct of them by looking down their lists of important whatevers. I'd rather know the why behind the list items, than to simply read or make a list.

And sure -- I could make such a list, but it would be boring and unimportant to most, and leave too many wondering which items were actually serious, and which were purely flippant (and I assure you, some of my choices would be assumed to be flippant when, indeed, they would not be!).

So, let's just talk, instead.

Alrighty then. No worries - most of these meme things kinda make me cringe a little, but I got tagged by three different people, fachrissake.

So, d'ya think the Giants are gonna learn how to not suck on the road in time to do something, *anything*, in the playoffs?

The Giants are in the playoffs? :)
Y'mean, they have s shot?

NFL has passed me by this season -- an unfortunate by-product of working Sundays in a Chinese sweatshop during most of the season. That, and the Titans sucked so badly, it hardly took any effort to not pay close attention -- they're on their way to the 3-13 season I predicted in August. ;)
