I really tried to come up with ten of these (end of year tradition, and all) but it just wasn’t in the cards. Still, if anyone else can think of anything else I’ve missed, add it down in the comments below.

1. Airports collecting “deadly” things. They got my manicure set, so they should get yours, too. It’s only fair.
2. The celebrity self-destruction of Tom Cruise. Isn’t it nice to know that someone so rich and famous can still muster up this much excitement for his THIRD wife (each one being 5-10 years younger than the first, right?)
3. The Patriot Act. Well, it’s set to expire and they’re voting for a continuance, but the only thing “patriotic” about a spy bill designed to look internally are McCarthy-era politics. Watch Good Night, and Good Luck for details.
4. Small minimum credit card payments. Americans are horribly dependant on keeping up with their neighbors’ indebted lifestyles, so with minimum payments set to double after December 31st, 2006, you’ll have no choice but to keep up and pay ‘em off.
5. My Thanksgiving vacation. You know, the one where everyone pretends they’re being nice to one another so they can be a family? It appears scheduling will prevent our appearance next year, so we’ll have to visit as we can and only a few at a time. And finally…
6. Those Subway stamps and cards for free product. I hear they’re trying to implement something new now, but why fix what wasn’t broke?
