Yesterday I finally made my way through Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something. I’d like to think that I’m now the younger for it.

Almost all of the 99 things are videos — many focused on accidental physical pain. One guy actually shoots himself; seriously painful looking falls are more common. The weird antics of babies and animals — the two seem to be about equivalent in the YouTube world — are also popular. Also, Star Wars.

My fave: David after Dentist (below). David actually describes how I feel most of the time, most days. My fave part’s when he asks, “Why is this happening to me?!” I dunno, Dave — I’m asking the same questions. Is this real life? Is this going to be forever?

Most of the 99 things were new to me. Because I’m a v. impatient person, I tend not to watch a lot of video because I can’t control the time I spend on it — whereas I’m v. good at skimming text. Some of my faves from the list: Lazy Sunday, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps, look at that horse.

Ready to check out the 99 Things yourself? Bye bye — See you tomorrow –
