OCD. The term gets thrown around like a lady body-surfer at a Rancid Concert. I know what it stands for but I don’t know what it means. Nobody knows. But I like to pretend I have it to excuse myself for my Obsessive Compulsive List Making. Technically I guess that would be OCLM. Whatever. Here comes another of my recent lists,
“Thirty Years of Halloween”
Because my birthday happens to be two days before my favorite holiday this will be the thirtieth Halloween I have enjoyed on this planet. And in celebration of this super-exciting event I have prepared a super-exciting list of what I have dressed up as each year. Yeah, I did that. So take a break and come back later when I talk about something you actually care about. Like how I feel about raw onions.
