25 things about me, Facebook style
Sex and Violence
Greg Karber
Issue date: 2/13/09 Section: Opinion
1. I am a senior in college.
2. I write a weekly Friday column for the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville student newspaper, The Arkansas Traveler.
3. I am very funny and charming around women, even in large groups of unfamiliar strangers.
4. Sometimes I lie uncontrollably.
5. In the fourth grade, I misspelled the word "skinny" in the school spelling bee, spelling it "skenny" instead. I even asked for its use in a sentence to buy time.
6. The kid after me, though, misspelled "pyramid," and when they said, "No, that's not correct," he said, "Yeah, I know, it's p-i-r..." So at least I didn't do that.
7. That kid is out there somewhere. He could be reading this.
8. I feel bad for bringing it up, but I needed something to pad this list.
9. Twenty-five things is (are?) a lot more than it (they?) seems (no s?).
10. My favorite color is green.
11. My favorite movie is "Armageddon," but I always fast-forward past the ending and pretend that they all went home and were famous forever and Bruce Willis got to see all the schools they surely named after him.
12. I like pizza.
13. I was born in 1987.
14. I attempted to vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 election. Instead, I was confused by the overly complicated butterfly ballot and accidentally moved for a Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership, clearing the way for Emperor Palpatine's rise to power.
15. If I were on Gilligan's Island and we all began to starve, I would resist the impulse to eat the Skipper and satisfy my short-term hunger. Instead, I would plan ahead and eat Gilligan, secure in the knowledge that, with Gilligan out of the way, rescue would be imminent.
16. I drive a Toyota Camry.
17. I am absolutely obsessed with Edward Cullen because I just love way he sparkles in the sunlight. No, I'm kidding. I don't love him because of the sparkles. I love him because he's a stalker with a temper problem and a desperate need to control his women. So dreamy!

Awesome follow up article to the previous canned one. Padding your list before you reach 10, on a list that people do a more interesting and better job than you on their break time, nice. (Continued…)

Absolutely horrible, on every level. Who allowed this to be put in the paper?
