  1. Daniel's Plans by eldavojohn · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shortly after news broke of Daniel's epic accomplishment, reality TV show offers started pouring in.

    Among them, a proposal from ABC for a televised relationship with Paris Hilton for a month, a proposal from CBS to televise him living in close quarters with Terrell Owens for two months, NBC's proposal to televise him talking with Jack Thompson for three minutes & Fox's proposal to videotape him living for a year with a North American black bear that has been injected with rabies.

    When asked which contract he'd be signing, Daniel revealed he was leaning towards Fox's proposal of starring in "World's Most Dangerous Roommate" citing that he'd take the rabid bear over the other three any day and was cautiously optimistic that his vine-swinging & pit jumping skills would come in handy.

    Daniel has recently purchased a large mansion on loan and is confident that his endorsement contracts are only now starting with Twin Galaxies. Enjoy your fifteen minutes, Daniel!

    Am I the only one who wants to view the verification video? Not to scrutinize it of course, but I want to see it!

    That's awesome. Takes me back 25 years to when, 25 years? Half a century? OK, now I'm depressed..

    Half-century eh? Well, they say the mind is the first thing to go ... :).

    I'm turning 24 in a month. Way to make me feel old.

    I still play "Sonic the Hedgehog", although I'm slightly dismayed that I can no longer complete "Green Hill Zone Act 1" in 26 seconds. Curse my 26 year old athritic-like thumbs.

    Wow, it definitely is a slow news day. Especially since the #1 terrorist leader in Iraq was killed.

    Wait, Rumsfeld visited Iraq today? *ducks*
