Dan has an assignment, and I'm a good student, so I MUST comply. (Did I mention both of our blogs are nominated for the Okie Blog Awards????) Here's the assignment: "Give us ten of your quirky, opinionated, perhaps socially-unacceptable or politically incorrect opinions. They can be esoteric, generic, unpopular, or obvious. Just write down ten of them." Go forth and opine.

1) Children should always give up their seats for adults.
2) Older does not necessarily mean wiser.
3) Gossip is rude and wasteful.
4) Birds of a feather really do flock together.
5) ABC has restored my hope that television can be a good thing with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. If all of television were like this show, it would change our country for the better.
6) I like flip flops. The new decorative flips and flops have inspired a whole new generation of feet that have been manicured*, and that is a good thing.
7) Front yards are not for large toys, couches or refrigerators.
8) Academia Nuts is a great name for a blog.
9) Maybe cleanliness really is next to Godliness.
10) You really should support your blogs by voting in the Okie Blog Awards.

(I guess that would be "pedicured," but it just doesn't sound right. And what about lawns? Manicured or grassicured?)
