I'm Like Lightning On That Buzzer

I stole this idea from McSweeney's, but was actually inspired to steal it after seeing that Bells On also stole it. Plus, when you think about it, when's the last time McSweeney's was so consistently amazing you would feel bad stealing from them? They started out all Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, but have totally slid down into IV. Anyway, here's my list:

"Jeopardy!" Categories In Which I'm Pretty Sure I Could Beat Ken Jennings:

Living With Massive Debt

Science Fiction Media Of The 1980s

"Timing" And Other Reasons It Didn't Work Out

How To Apprehend Livestock

Arcane Country Bands Of The Mid-To-Late 20th Century

Acceptable Reasons For Wearing A Shirt Two Days In A Row Without Laundering It

Navigating Strange Neighborhoods While Mildly Inebriated

The Oeuvre Of Luis Guzman

A Walking Tour Of Quesadillas In The San Fernando Valley

Dave Matthews Band Lyrics (Pre-2002)

Indian Leg-Wrestling

Stand-Up Comedians Below The Cultural Radar

What It's Like To Think You're Original When Really, There Are A Ton Of Guys Just Like You

Living With Sweat

Possible Retro-Future Ramifications If Kirk Had Saved Joan Collins From Getting Hit By That Truck

Hot Pocket Flavors

Is IV bad then?

No, not bad, just shy of Cocoa Puffs. Worth reading if you're a fan or completist, but not as good or consistent as the old one.

Hey, hey, Hot Pocket flavors is brilliant though.

"What It's Like To Think You're Original When Really, There Are A Ton Of Guys Just Like You"

Ha! I love it.

I guarantee I could kick Ken Jennings' ass in "Teen television dramas, 1990 to present." He would go DOWN.

Acceptable Reasons For Wearing A Shirt Two Days In A Row Without Laundering It

I'm pretty sure that this is the reason why college classes are on alternating days.
