Complete with mini-reviews. I'm almost done. Suggestions welcome, especially for more comedy but No Spaceball-ass type crap! Hep me get right with Jesus.

Working for a company specializing in digital electronics, during meetings we talk about power alot.
We talk about not enough power, too much power, harnessing the power, re-circulating the power, tripping up the power, lowering & increasing the power & I don't know why we don't just say magic because then meetings would be more interesting to me.
Or unicorns, as in There were too many unicorns in capacitor R12 so it blew the board. We also talk alot about "ohms & heat," terms I feel should be replaced with "dolphins & skittles."

Ex: We had to add a 2nd layer to the board to distribute the magic unicorns because, with only a 22 dolphin resistor, there are just too many skittles.
See? It would help me listen better.

I don't understand why I'm not president, because a world where I am not president is a world I DON'T BELONG IN.

Cut 6 inches off my security blanket. I always wait too long to have my hair trimmed, so that the stylist scolds me the entire time, which in turn deters me from wanting to come back soon. So my hair is puffy now & very My Little Pony. If I drew some apples on my ass you would lose me in the herd.

Sadly, I lose my keys constantly, & no matter what advice I take. I have problems keeping inanimate objects affixed to my person, wallets, credit cards, driver's licenses, receipts, keys are like appendages or removable skin tags. My girl now seeks out my keys & has put a hook in the wall where she hangs them for me. She came up with this herself & has also taken to writing me saccharine letters. She puts them in my roller skates, pushes them to me, then runs to hide & watch me read them from some secret place.
It is like having her gave me permission to love myself. Even my flaws are paraphrased to me so that I may reconsider & improve. I made love & she walks. She has jelly on her chin. She sings loudly in my bathroom, making moves to her reflection.

All of the Christopher Guest movies: Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind.

Best in Show kills me every single time. Comedy gold.

Are they on the the list and I totally missed them or do they pre-ate the list?

Best in Show is like Princess Bride: movies I can watch over and over and laugh every time.

yes, everything about him just seems so honest, and effortless. I thought the same things of him in Little Miss Sunshine (have you seen it).

yes, & tho it was a cute movie, i liked carell better in 40yoV because he was more in the limelight.
did you notice that little miss sunshine had a prosthetic belly added onto her? it bothered me throughout.
