Goose!
Let's face it. I've become a Vox delinquent. It was only over a week ago I was "tagged" by Amy, and only now am I producing my list of 8 habits that separate me from the rest of the species.
1.) Whenever watching television, I will always flip to a different station to solely avoid the commercials. The worst is always during football on a Sunday or Monday night.
- Punt
- Commercial
- 1st down
- 2nd down - timeout
- commercial
- 3rd down - coach's challenge
- commercial
- 4th down - FG
- commercial
- kickoff return
- commercial
2.) I was born in Texas, moved to New Jersey before my 1st birthday, resided in Jersey for the next 22 years, then moved & have lived in Pennsylvania for the last 5 years. From those who've told me, I possess no sign of a single dialect.
3.) I've come to believe that there's the conventional, common sense way of doing things...and then there is Cappy's way. You name a scenario, and I come up with an off-the-wall approach or solution that makes no sense whatsoever. I'm that guy.
4.) In reference to #3, I read multiple books at a time, instead of reading one book from beginning to end. Talk about quirky.
5.) If I have a CD on in the car, which is usually 98% of the time, I won't get out of the car until the present song has completed. OCD? What's that?
6.) Bills are ALWAYS mailed on Saturdays. If I receive my electric bill on Monday, it's guaranteed to sit on my table for the next few days.
7.) At the grocery store, the shopping cart is never turned around in the same aisle, but is forever kept in a forward position, with left or right turns upon a new aisle.
8.) My palette has no use for watery, domestic beer. The line in the sand is drawn somewhere near Yuengling.

I read....hmmm.....3 or 4 books at a time. One is on the end table in the family room. One is in my car. One is up on my nightstand by my bed, and the fourth is in my "work bag".
However, I only put a book I want to REread on my nightstand by the bed. I don't want any unpleasant surprises before I am going to sleep. :)
I would love to hear more examples of "Cappy's way" of doing things! :D
Sounds sensible to me! ;)
I love when a game is moving along faster than antipicated (e.g. the early game is due for a 3:50pm completion w/ a 4:15pm game pending). You know the commissioner's office is signaling into each coach's headset saying "Use all your meaningless timeouts."
My intention is not to make you frantic, but one of your old-new-forever favorites may come up with the correct answer, thereby rendering you the old supergenius.
A wiser feller than myself once said "don't you ever get tired of being wrong?"
Dead Letter Office (1987) was a collection of B-sides and outtakes. Highlights include three Velvet Underground covers, an Aerosmith cover, an uncommissioned commercial for a barbecue restaurant in Athens, and a boozy version of "King of the Road". The CD also has the EP Chronic Town at the end. The album is described in the liner notes as "A little bit of uh-huh and a whole lot of oh-yeah".
Now, go on let's get back to talking about how awesome I am.
Oh, and I park at the first spot I find because it annoys me when people drive around and around and around to find a 'good' spot. I can be inside the location before those people even get out of their cars.
Also, in Phoenix the best spot is the spot with shade, regardless of distance from parking spot to door.
After I said that, I just concocted an odd picture of a large parking lot where every car has it's on sunshade on the inside of the windshield. Tell me that really doesn't happen.
