- Anika
"Mike & Ikes" are pretty good (I like the cherry flavour ones)

There's something wrong with your tastebuds if a Jelly Belly tastes like wax. And calling a Ferrari a car is an insult to a Ferrari. Just like calling a Jelly Belly a jelly bean is an insult to Jelly Bellys...they are far superior.

Not a big fan of the vomit flavor. I quite like watermelon, tangerine, juicy pear, licorice.

Reading how birth order shapes your personality. I'm the middle child. Very true for me. http://www.divinecaroline.com/article...

I always wondered if the dynamic is different depending on the genders as well. For me, we are all women. In the middle of two women is hard. My sisters don't even talk anymore.
- Shevonne
okay, that's creepy. i'm an only child, an "intensified" first born. i am doomed. but on the positive side i am likely to compulsively organize your closet for you, so there's that.

i'm the middle child of three boys, all born almost exactly three years apart. article says of mids: "A middle child can be: a loner, quiet and shy, sociable, outgoing, friendly, laid-back, a peacemaker, aggressive, very competitive, or not at all. (Basically unpredictable.)" Wow! this article has me pegged. I'm ALL those things. .LOLz

It was suggested by friend on Kwippy.com that I run in 2012, so long as I pick a "hottie like Sarah". I said that I would tap Mona and our campaign slogans would be "OMG KITTENS!" and the crowd would chant "O RLY" and we would yell back "YA RLY!" and every time we were attack in an ad our response would simply be "SRSLY? LOL!".

I remember a Car Talk episode where Click and Clack had Martha Stewart on and she explained how to roast a chicken on your carbuerator - you would have to drive from LA to Los Vegas to do it.

Real men don't cook. They heat things in various ways, some less than safe, or find a girlfriend or mother figure to cook for them.

"The most apt visual metaphor for the crisis yet. I'm not sure that it isn't literally true. After all, Charlotte is a banking center, and 23 of the passengers worked at Bank of America alone. I'd say that the passengers in the 12 first-class seats at the front of the plane were disproportionately likely to be bankers, no?"
