2. I'm Glad You Laughed...
I wasn't certain if I had the quote exactly right though... that's definitely one of my all-time favorite Carol Burnett skits.

...about purchasing something from the fine folks at Franklin Mint.
Unfortunately, they found out that not only did I go to college but
I had an IQ of over 60. Well, let me tell ya...that pretty much screwed the pooch on that deal....

14. Actually I do
Or at least I think it's from the Franklin Mint: my sister gave me the extended version of the Two Towers for Christmas and it came with a statue of Gollum when he was really happy fishing. Of course he was hapy, he was fishing!

15. Well, I got this FABULOUS Princess Diana velvet dress....
Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 06:38 PM by Cannikin


However, I was very disappointed to find out that I was unable to wear it because it was apparently made for a doll!:shrug:



Ok...that was my stereotypically gay joke for the day....
