Stuff I Have That You Don't

Meme ganked from elainetyger.

Name a CD you own that no one else on your friends list does. This is tough since cahwyguyhas every cast album ever and captain_peleg has lots of obscure world music, but I will guess that nobody else has Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead.

Name a book you own that no one else on your friends list does. I have lots of obscure folklore books I've bought in other countries, but I will try to play fair with The House that Nino Built by Giovanni Guareschi. (Guareschi is on my mind as I have been rereading the Don Camillo books.)

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/etc that no one else on your friends list does. Since nobody else saw it despite my raves, I'll got for Free Enterprise, the story of two geeks upset over turning 30 who meet William Shatner at a porno bookstore late one night and get involved with his efforts to produce a musical version of Julius Caesar.

Name a place that you have visited that no one else on your friends list has. The national museum in Porto Novo, Benin.

Speaking Sportuguese

I have, of course, been going around in complete zombie mode all day since I stayed up to the bitter end of the Red Sox game last night. Well, it wasn't all that bitter an end, since the Angels couldn't manage the suicide squeeze. Seeing a professional ball player miss a bunt is definitely odd.

I get a few nights to recuperate before the next round of post-season sleep deprivation.

In other sports related news, I got an advertising circular in the mail today from Papa John's trumpeting their "2008 Redskins Limited Edition Box." You get a large pizza with up to 5 toppings for $15 and this special commemorative box. Now, admittedly I can't remember the last time I've ordered a pizza at home, but don't pizza boxes get a bit greasy and grubby inside? Maybe it's just because I have no interest at all in football, but I can't quite see this as a collector's item.
