We can’t think of 25 things about ourselves, period – let alone 25 things that people would find even remotely interesting.
Sure, we could probably come up with a list that long if we stopped to think about it (for a week), but who has time for that? And frankly, how is not delusional to think anybody cares?
Still, the “25 things” craze has been spreading like wildfire across social networking sites (mainly Facebook), prompting our e-mail inbox to get loaded up with dozens of lists from people we’ve never heard of before telling us 25 things that we never wanted to know about them.
From the Quixotic Goat, here’s how it works:
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
Uh … okay, but what invariably happens is that people populate these lists with stuff that nobody cares about, like “so and so has a secret love of chocolate,” or “such and such loves candlelit baths with a good book.”
Seriously, who cares? Sometimes Sic Willie farts so loud at night he wakes himself up (ok, it happens several times every night) but our guess is that’s information you could have done without.
Now “25 people I’ve slept with …” that’s worthwhile reading.
Update – Wait … what? 25 is considered a high number? Uh-oh …

Don’t do it, Sic Willie. This information could fall into the wrong hands, like maybe BIN’s, and he will just use it to try and drive you insane. For example, whatever your pet peeve is will start peeving up everywhere.
Sick minds really do think like this. I KNOW THEY DO.

Gee…this kind of sounds like the same concept behind the “SCTweets” site started by Rep. Dan Hamilton and blogger Wes Donehue. Kind of like “25 Things You Never Wanted to Know About Your Legislators”, like what Joey Millwood watches on TV or what Nathan Ballentine eats for breakfast.

I think Rep. Ballentine holds mortgages on Chick Fil-A’s properties. That’s all I can figure. Who wants chicken for BREAKFAST? There is just something not right about that. Similarly, mixing chicken with ANY type of salsa product.
But can we get him to enact laws as to such? N.O.

What about “The 25 things Sic does everyday that annoys his wife.” Though you may have to bump the list up to 50 or so……

my top 25 list took me forever to write! it was close to painful. my feelings are hurt though that you didn’t find it interesting!

Mrs. Sic, those are annoyances of endearment. There may be many more when he has to compete with Little Miss Sweetpea for your attentions!!!

I kinda hate facebook as it is… but reading the idea of changing the 25 things to the 25 people(you’ve slept with) made me think of this scene from the movie Clerks… that even includes a number, with a great punch line.
“My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!”
“In a row?”
