In light of #20 it's extra-scary that you don't wear underwear.

You know... I think I already knew a lot of these so-called random things about you.  Especially how awesome you are :P

oh pls! awesome is like cool. you say it, it ain't so!

Ahhh, the internet meme, as it's been inaccurately labeled, these lists that ping-pong about the net. I'm glad you met your recent ping with humor (I hope it's humor).  

The true definition:  comprises a unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices; such units or elements transmit from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena

This might accurately describe the viral video phenomena whereby a specific concept catches on and becomes "conventional wisdom."

As these lists go, a meme (pronounced meem) might more readily be pronounced "me me," as they really apply to only each individual... egocentric ramblings.  Hmmmm... you nailed that... but with some humor.  

Twenty-five things about me, me, me...

1) I am a pedant (not a pedagogue nor a pederast).

2) I am pedantic

and so on.  

If your pedantry needs any validation, recycledbrooklyn, the misuse of 'meme' has been bothering me big-time as well.  (sigh)

I haven't seen Burn After Reading but had a few good chuckles over The Big Lebowsky, having only seen it for the first time last week.  My favorite Coen Brothers film remains Miller's Crossing though, which I'm told is their least popular.  I think it's their most subtle in many ways and hence the best.  They could have done an entire movie just on Albert Finney's character.  Every role was so compelling.

Props to the Coen Bros. though for bringing out John Goodman's full potential.  

Your "boasting" though reminds me of my 16 year old son, when we met Salma Hayek (namedropping here, but only for the sake of the anecdote) and he told me, "What would she want with you?  You're used up.  I'm young and exciting."

There is no story really.  It was at a show that my friend did PR for.  He still considers it evidence of his "awesomeness" though so who am I to argue?  She said girls are probably jealous of his hair because it's so thick.  

Darn. I was hoping people would actually leave their 25 list in the comments. Oh well. Disappointment strikes again on this Saturday night.

Ok, here it is... I call it the 'celebrity edition' of my 25.
