Surf's Up!

Too bad I'm thousands of miles away from anyplace to surf.

You Love Freedom

Above all else, you seek autonomy and independence in your life. You want to do your own thing. You love sensory experiences and adventures. You like to engage all five senses to the extreme. For you, surfing in the ocean would be all about the freedom you find and practice.  You love the idea of mastering the waves. You cherish the unpredictability of the surf and your own actions. Each time surfing would be a totally different experience. You're a rule bender and a bit of a rebel.  You would do what feels right when it came to surfing, even if it meant skipping work. Of all the types, you're the one most likely to get addicted to surfing. Once you pick up your board, it will be hard to put it down.

10 Decisions That Saved Great Movies

There's not a lot to lolz at first, just a face and eyes that follow your cursor around the screen.

But, hold your left-click button down and you're treated to a tune and changing face and colors that will shoot out away from the eyes and opposite of the placement of the cursor.

Drunk as Cooter Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Cooter Brown, sometimes given as Cootie Brown, is a name used in metaphors and similes for drunkenness, mostly in the southern United States. Cooter Brown supposedly lived on the line which divided the North and South during the American Civil War, making him eligible for military draft by either side. He had family on both sides of the line, so he did not want to fight in the war. He decided to get drunk and stay drunk for the duration of the war so that he would be seen as useless for military purposes and would not be drafted. 

Ever since, colloquial and proverbial ratings of drunkenness have been benchmarked against the legendary drinker: "as drunk as Cooter Brown" or "drunker than Cooter Brown."



There are also other versions of the origin of the phrase.
