Ugh, I guess so

I tried to ignore it all day. But it taunted me. And Sam, I bet you put it there knowing it would do just that.

I'm talking about that two-word phrase "you won't". Those words, and others such as 'prohibited', 'no trespassing', 'forbidden' and 'don't eat that' are like catnip for my common sense: They all turn it from a lighting-quick, always-lands-on-its-feet, trustworthy internal compass to a semi-retarded, string batting, bridge-crossing, floor-lying, nasty-farting, lying on the floor floor.

Accordingly, I seriously considered the challenge of comparing two romantic comedies a day for two straight weeks. Then I came to my senses and realized that, while I may drunkenly cross a snow-covered bridge under construction because I thought a sign dared me to, there is no way in hell I'm going familiarize myself with 28 romantic comedies.

I will take up the challenge of comparing two things for two weeks straight though. I won't tell you what I'm going to compare and it will differ from day to day. But it's coming. And it's going to be good. Well, at least, it will probably be gross.

Yes, i intentionally put the you wont in that sentence hoping it would prompt you to do a review. After the first days post, I may have to bring a vomit bag to work everyday. That was terrible. You have a twisted imagination. Any parent watch group that attributes twisted thoughts to video games and movies, only needs to look at how your wholesome upbringing produced such a distrubing mind.
