Oh joy! It's Cranky Andy's lists o' stuff!

Andy is cranky.  Very, very cranky.  And he likes to make lists, most of which happen to contain around, oh... ten things.  Now, we're not saying that everyone named Andy is cranky (although that old guy on CBS makes us wonder), and we certainly wouldn't want to insinuate that this is similar to other decimal-length lists o' things which also, coincidentally, might appear occasionally on CBS.  No, we don't want to suggest that at all.

Today, you're in luck!  We've dug up the follwing lists Cranky Andy once had for you:

4. New Aqua interface incorporates revolutionary "Dock" protocol that lines up small icons of active programs on the bottom of the screen in no manner related to how the Windows toolbar does it.  (Please don't look at the bottom of your screen).

5. Replaces complicated use of the mouse with wicked awesome keyboard shortcuts just like Wordperfect, but better.

6. It is X times better than the Mac OS 9.

7. "Extract Zipped Files" function completely overhauled and renamed  "Xtract Zipped Files"

8. Incorporates running stock ticker that monitors the ever declining value of Apple Stock.

Things never to say to a bride-to-be

1. Why don't you just bake the cake the night before the ceremony?

2. Instead of renting an expensive tuxedo, I could just wear one of those cool Tuxedo shirts.

3. We should pass a collection plate around during the ceremony, just like they do in regular church. Except this time we will keep the money.

4. We don't have to invite both of your brothers. Just choose your favorite.

5. Other than the bouquet, I don't think we need any other flowers in the ceremony.

6. Instead of wedding rings, why don't we just exchange meaningful glances.

7. Instead of registering for gifts, why don't we just have people pay down your student loan?

8. Why don't you wear one of the dresses you already own?

9. Why don't we have my dad take the pictures with his new digital camera?

10. Do you really think you should be wearing a white wedding dress? I mean, come on, who are you kidding?
