Pamela, learn to hold your horses, or as Nina would say, "Patience little grasshopper," I had a meeting this morning. I was going to post this Friday, but didn't quite get around to it.Anywho...
I love this list and have found it quite amusing over the years, so if you have seen this before, hopefully, you normally practice at least 27% of this list on a regular basis. If you haven't seen it before, I implore you, do as many of these as you can (in no particular order) within the next 48 hours.
Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity

In comments...NoR, I know you've done number one before...and you probably forgot your bra that day too! How many of you want to bet money that MrT has done numbers 2, 5, 6, 9, and there is a very strong possibility of number 12 as well? I am very tempted at present to do number 4.

Who's this Pamela who has no patience? boy, does she need to learn a lesson!
I think if MRT had kids, he'd definitely do 19.
I have in real life done #2. The rest, I will put on the list of things I must do before I die.
NoR~You mean you don't know Pamela and you sleep with her every night?! Tsk, tsk tsk.
LMAO! I think you're right!
Damn, #2? Who'd have thunk it?! LOL!
You are right on with what I have done. And, yes, if I had kids I would probably do 19.
Here are some addendums.
6. When I was in college and had to write tuition checks, I would always write, "An gud edukashun" in the memo field.
13. I am known for mocking people at poetry readings for talking in a strange verbal cadence.
I ask them "WHY-do-you-TALK-like-thiiiiissssss?
Is-THERE-some-THING a-miiiiisssss?"
MrT~L.M.A.O!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, MRT, #6 is priceless.
Oh, and I may know her in the biblical sense, but I don't REALLY know her.
Pamela~Doesn't he just crack you up? And thanks by the way, for clearning that up for us :-)
I love that list. I'm cracking up at MRT. It's true, why do they talk like that?
Churlita~I know right?!
some of these are new but it's good to get a refresher from time to time... u left some of them off... it was one you were supposed to do in the elevator but for the life of me i can't remember what it was...i just remember that when i first got a list like this a couple of years ago, the weekend b4 i went to harlem to visit my cousin and when we got on the elevator i did it and the guy who got on with my family got off and said he would wait for the next one.. if i remember i will come back
Truthz~Welcome to P&P! You are absolutely right...I certainly hope you think of it, because that story is too funny! LOL!
now i can get with nuber 4 and number 7 lol
Torrance~How did I already know that? LOL! :)
In your honor, I'm going to do #3 all day tomorrow at school.
p.s. My students routinely do #8, and I'm sure it's not because they've seen this list.
Nance~Yes, yes, do it, do it!
Nance~I'm sure of that as well. Sigh.
lol...I've seen this before but it still makes me laugh.
My first time seeing them, and I love them! Every single one! I love #2!! I would page myself and add "You sexy beast."
i can say me and number 8 go a long way back - u had me rolling thinking of u at the opera
lol @ alan's comment!
Tera, fyi I tagged you in my 12/01/08 post.
T~Girl I just LOVE IT!!
And I will make haste over to your place and accept my tag with pride!!! :)
Alan~Somehow I already have a visual of how that would go down...LOL!
Torrance~Really?! That's shocking coming from a writer...but apparently that's why they have Editors! LOL!
