Things I Don't Get

-People who need 2 bus seats...one for their butt and one for their bag...while others are standing.
-Where the phrase "in a pickle" comes from.
-Making yourself a "brand."
-How I'm going to get to Tombouctou once I get to Mali.
-Why someone thought "A Scanner Darkly" was a good name for a movie.
-Otherwise polite Midwesterners in transit who yell and flip the bird at bikers and other drivers.
-Why I went to Blogthings' Exotic Dancer Name Generator. (It's Secret, BTW. And while I'm at it, I might as well reveal my Elf name as well...Grumpy Snowballer.)
