| Why is there a bottle opener on the back of my belt buckle?
I've had it for years but it never registered that that's what it was.
It's very unlikely that I'll take off my belt to open a bottle, for example, of Jone's Soda at Mongolian barbeque.
I'd get arrested or something.

| I'm listening to music on yahoo music.
If you don't do that, here's how it works. You tell it what genres you like and it starts building your playlist for you.
While you're listening, you can rate the artist and the song, and the service can further tailor your playlist according to what you like.
Every once in a while, though, it steps outside of your normal taste preferences and gives you something (seemingly) random to listen to. That way you can rate the new artist and possibly expand your playlist.
Sometimes, I'm glad I get the occasional random track. But today, I got a list composed completely of songs I had rated highly, artists I had rated highly, or in the genres I liked. I was really happy with that, and wished I had some way of telling yahoo as much.
So, I propose to you, Yahoo programmers: let us reward the Machine for giving us what we like. If I like the 25 songs currently in my playlist, I want to be able to give a cookie to the yahoo suggestion beast. Or, a thumbs up. There must be some way for me to boost the self-confidence of a semi-conscious program like that.
Power Kick!

| I'm putting this here only to say that this is my new favorite song.
I could listen to it over and over and I don't know why.

I should probably get a myspace. I hear I'm the only person who doesn't have one.

It's either part of the Lost mythology, or a dinosaur/godzilla movie.
My money's on Lost. Let's see, I have ... 63 cents and a green guitar pick.
Either way, it has nothing to do with "Rob."
I don't know, I'm like, your main dude.
Power kick!
