30 Simple Pleasures, with Commentary
My good friend Click (Daily) sent me this list, and I like it mostly, but being me I have to qualify everything. I've never looked at this site before today - I like it because it's mostly lists, but I don't like it because it's mostly self-help, and I'm a little too stubbornly independent to be told how to help myself.

#8. I was going on and on today at work about how seeing people fall is funny and that we should incorporate it into our company Christmas card somehow!
#6 is such an important part of life in Memphis! It's not a simple pleasure, it's a requirement.
Oh now, there are lots of days perfect for relaxing outside in the spring and fall! I need to find a way to market my apparent mosquito-offending stench.
I am way too empathethetic to laugh when people fall. Also why I can't pull off a practical joke or a surprise of any kind.
what about when you get some fries from some fast food place and then after you finish your meal you think you're all done and you find another couple of fries in the bottom of the bag? that's gotta be up there in the top ten somewhere.
You are so right, Hamlett. The same is true for M&M's.
