1. I don't do memes.
Ok, that's more "topical" than "random", so maybe you want some more "random".
2. The following stunts are performed by trained professionals. Do not attempt this at home.
3. Never sign a contract that includes the provision for "other duties as required".
4. I don't have 25 Facebook friends. Oh wait, I have 35. How did that happen? I'm not going to count my real friends because I suspect the answer to that would depress me.

6. I'm getting older and find that no, I don't want fries with that any more. Sometimes I want salad. I still like my salad drenched in French dressing, but at least I'm eating it more often.
7. Objects may be closer than they appear.
8. I don't watch Mythbusters just for the explosions any more.
9. It is 21:50 on a Tuesday. Do you know how far under water your retirement funds are? I know how far underwater mine are.
10. The only time I've run out of gas, I was driving an old car with soft back springs that meant the fuel pick-up got starved before the tank was actually empty. Actually that car was soft all around -- it was so bad that in an emergency-strength threshold-braking maneuver, it was literally easier to look out through the sun roof to see where you were going than to bend down and look out the windshield. It was great for scaring tailgaters though, if you just brushed the brakes the rear bumper would go up like eight inches and make the tailgater think that I'd just stood on the brakes.
Wow. That was like three things, so I'll skip ahead in the numbers.
13. I'm skipping ahead in the numbers. Live with it. Again, more "relevant" than "random", but... yeah, live with it.
14. I can't remember what the last movie I went to the theater to see was.
15. Win: http://spacex.com/multimedia/videos.php?id=31
16. I've passed on A-K suited on the button pre-flop. I've also shoved all-in with the hammer under the gun. Most of the time I'm a tight-passive player, but can turn aggressive at unpredictable times.
17. Penicillin makes me paranoid. Difficult-to-live-with paranoid. The doctors tell me it shouldn't, but every time I've had it, it happens.
18. I've never been a driver in a car accident more serious than a 10km/h bump. I know some people who would have bet heavily that I wouldn't have been able to say this at this age. (Or even ten years ago.)
19. I may be better than I think I am -- but I don't think I'm very good. But maybe I am.
20. I have a Backstreet Boys song in my music library. I listen to it often. Well, maybe "frequently", not "often".
21. Blackjack. Pay me.
22. This statement is false. It's also blatant padding because I'm running^Whave run out of things, interesting or otherwise, to say.
23. Twenty Three is the largest prime number under 25.
24. I like Ocean's Eleven because I used to watch it a lot when Alex was very tiny. It makes me remember how I felt when Alex was sleeping on the couch with me. Most fo the time I feel Alex is getting better every day, but sometimes I miss that tiny little boy.
25. I am overwhelmed by your awesomeness -- you win.
Done.
