Maybe you have a talent at making decisions.
In doing so, maybe you’ve flexed your muscles with previous incarnations of WFME’s You Decide — where your democratic tendencies are allowed to breathe, stretch, contemplate and ruminate. Maybe you’ve found that when given two distinct choices, you feel your soul scream out from inside of you and you feel more alive than ever before. Or not.
Either way, it’s time for you to decide if you’d rather walk around with a ziploc bag filled with water or a severed left arm.
It’s not often you see someone walking around with a ziploc bag filled with water. Sure, people walk around with ziploc bags filled with carrots, celery, cookies, crackers, candy, slices of fruit, cold cuts, halves of sandwiches and so on. But a bag filled to the brim with clear, innocent spring water?

I know this guy.
When he was a kid in elementary school, some other kid stabbed his hand with a number two pencil. For years, despite his family’s urgings, he never went the extra mile to extract the chunk of pencil lead in his hand. He’d read articles about lead poisoning, he’d been asked if he wanted to live past 30, and he even received pamphlets in the mail trying to convince him that before long…the lead poison would end his life.
Surprise! He’s still alive today!

People are extremely bored, aren’t they?
That’s why things like Texas Hold ‘em became so popular. That’s why the country is locked their frenetic grip around a simplistic game show called Deal or No Deal where people simply pick cases and hope something good is inside of them. That’s why movies that involve people doing painful things to themselves (i.e. Jackass 2) will seemingly keep people’s attention for over 90 minutes.
And that’s why high-stakes Bingo has been created as well.

You think you know why people don’t talk to each other in public bathrooms, don’t you?
You think it’s because people feel uncomfortable when they walk into a public bathroom because there are prying eyes. You think it’s because people just would rather do their business and not try to have a lively conversation while doing it. You think it’s because people in stalls would just rather feel like they were alone, and because people at urinals would rather face the wall instead of interacting with friends, family or strangers.
But that’s not the reason for a lack of conversation in public bathrooms.

Do you watch Prison Break?
I’ve been a fan of the show since it started, and this season is following our previously incarcerated convicts across the country as they each make their way towards freedom. Yet, it’s tough for me to completely buy into Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield breaking out of prison thanks to previously real-world run-ins I had with the guy a few years prior.
See, Wentworth Miller can break out of prison, but not a dead-end job.
The year isn’t important, but I used to work for The Jim Henson Company in their film department awhile back. Some of you already know this from my nightmare experiences with the beloved red-furred egotistical Elmo. But besides such frustrating experiences, there was even more frustration up near the receptionist desk at the JHC where, yes, Wentworth Miller was answering phone calls.
