Every 1st day of the year, the Washington Post prints an “In and Out” list. It’ll name drop things that I guess had permeated the collective conscious last year. Things I’m glad I never heard of until a new year had pushed them out of pop culture (LOLcats? Really, America?).
Well, my birthday just passed on January 5th (You should’ve been there. The red wine flowed like women. It was quite disgusting). So, for me, the year doesn’t start until 1 hand later. So, now that it is officially 2009, and in the spirit of The Post, I present my own version of an In and Out List. But, remember, if at any point in 2009 you find yourself Goggling ROTFLMAOPossums --- a simple “thank you” will suffice.
