The real question is: Who knew how many ways there are for people to come up with clever little exercises for you to spend time doing instead of actually posting something useful. (Like. Ahem. Senses of foreboding. Yes. Useful.) THIS little doozy is another pass-around exercise. Rule is, type "(your name) likes to"--e.g., "Ellen likes to"--into google and then post the first 10 things that come up. In case you were thinking I had been replaced by a simulacrum or triffid or like that. Although oddly enough several of these things were not false.

The other real question is: How many of those were references specifically to Ellen Degeneres? Man, it's rough having a famous shared first name. Therefore, I'll try my infamous alias, "ELF likes to":

• Boost likes to go off the chart

OK, I think we've completely ground that into the dust now...
