How much do I get for two wisdom teeth?

I don’t know if I ever really believed in the Tooth Fairy. I know I would get cold hard cash (about $1.12… adjusting for inflation) for every tooth I lost. And I’m pretty sure I didn’t think it was really my parents at first (how would they sneak the money in without waking me up?), but I never believed in fairies either.

So what in the world did I think was going on? Did I think teeth just turned into money after a good night’s sleep? I wish I could go back in time and talk to myself. I’d love to know what silly jumps in reasoning I took to justify the appearance of money under my pillow..

And when I began to realize that the Tooth Fairy could not exist, I still tested it. I remember not telling people when my next tooth fell out, just to test whether it was my parents or not.

I did the same thing with my letters to Santa Claus… It’s so hard to accept reality sometimes.

… Lets have a moment of silence for all those children who will discover Santa’s true identity this Christmas…

Thank you.

400 Bills

400 Bills. Wow, I feel like there should be a punchline to that. Or maybe the first half of a joke. Something, anyway.

This was a thought experiment proposed by Drew. I was going to comment, but poot. I figured he’d appreciate it more if, instead of that, I just stole his idea.

As to what I’d do with 400 bills– assuming I couldn’t save or hoard them– I’d probably…

• buy an iPod/super jump drive
• buy a bunch of DVDs
• go crazy with nostalgia and electronica on eBay
• or go on a crazy-ass roadtrip to visit some friends in states afar (what a sad, road-trip-less summer this has been, I’ll tell you that).

What would you do with 400 bean burritos?

United we stand, Divided we remain

This nation has an unnatural underdog fixation. Everywhere and everyone is being ‘persecuted’ for something. I think it borders on paranoia, quite frankly. I mean, surely Some group is at the top? Religion, scientists, republicans, democrats, environmentalists, short-sighted ignorami, business, government, the rich, the poor, black people, white people, Hispanics, middle easterners, Asians (well, not Asians so much), unions, individuals. They all seem to think they’re being mistreated and have to keep fighting each other. You’d think that by now some group would realize that they’re on top and stop bitching, but nooo… This country is all or nothing.

Just my little social observation of the day.

Reagan: closer to #34 than #1

To show just how terrible Reagan was, I’m going to make a list of the top 10 presidents. In order. Here we go:

1. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Dem.)
2. George Washington (Ind.)
3. Abraham Lincoln (Rep.)
4. Lyndon Baines Johnson (Dem.)
5. James Madison (Dem-Rep.)
6. James Monroe (Dem-Rep.)
7. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. (Rep.)
8. Thomas Jefferson (Dem-Rep.)
9. Warren G. Harding (Rep.)
10. Andrew Jackson (Dem.)

Notice: There was never a Ulysses S. Grant as #10 on this list, Eggo is either lying or crazy
