Imagine you are on your deathbed. Recommend to those who remain in your life...

1) One book to read.
2) One movie to watch.
3) One food to eat.
4) One place to go.
5) One life lesson to leave behind.
1. Anything by Tom Clancy.
2. BlackAdder.
3. Crayfish.
4. Anywhere you wanted to go.

Lil early this week cuz I'm goin' outta town tomorrow morning; the 'it's almost back to school time' Five:
1. Who was your favorite teacher?
2. Why was that teacher so special?
3. Do you think teachers get paid enough?
4. Did you have a favorite year of school?
5. If you could travel back in time and tell yourself something now that would have helped you get through school, what would you say?
1. Mr. M
2. He had long hair, listened to metal, played drums in a band, and had one of the most upbeat attitudes on the planet. What else could you want for a teacher?
3. Some of them get paid too much... especially the ones in the vocational programs.
4. Senior year of high school, since I had Information technology for half of the day, which was quite an owning class.
5. Not much. I got through it fine.

2. Spaceballs!
3. Veal, because it's awesome.
4. Antarctica... it's a very unique place that's mostly untouched by civilization. (Obviously minus the several stations there.)
5. Don't give in to what the majority thinks is "cool", unless you want to be a bumbling idiot like half of the planet.
