John's Journal

Ten reasons I'm going continue doing lists of ten things for another year:

1. Inertia
2. Can't stop, clown will eat me
3. Because once in every generation, someone is called to do it
4. If I don't, the terrorists will win
5. It's the best way to spread the spirit of Klordny all year round
6. God wants me to
7. Need to generate more material for the inevitable book deal
8. Each list contains hidden messages to my girlfriend, Reese Witherspoon
9. No better outlet for jokes about homoerotic subtext in Edwardian-era children's literature
10. Because!

Yes, today is the second anniversary of my first list of ten things. Whee, I guess.

I have come to realize, thanks to certainthings, that my last list was sorely deficient in the area of jokes about Dick Cheney shooting people in the face. To rectify that, here's a link to Cole Moore Odell's brilliant take on the subject.

On a very tangentially related note, I was just a few minutes ago overcome by the conviction that I had misspelled the word "Klordny" in my last post. It turns out I had not, but it was a tense couple of seconds.
