What are your favorite weird food combinations?
Submitted by Dulce.

I don't know if this is really a favourite, but a friend of mine loves peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches.  Out of sick, morbid curiosity, I tried it one day, and you know what?  I didn't hate it.  I've even had it since.  It's a weird salty-sweet / creamy-crunchy contradiction in one's mouth.

It's unquestionably wrong, and maybe that's what drew me to its forbidden tastiness.

What word(s) do you always make a typo in?

Unfailingly, I always mistype tempalte.   I mean template.

Got tagged by Kat to do this one.  RobotJohnny.com is down for a makeover, so Vox it is, which is really where I post fluff like this anyhow.

Supposedly, if you've seen over 85 movies, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 266 movies on this list. Put x's next to the movies you've seen, add them up, change the header to your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun!

It's a strange list in that it comprises mostly movies from the last 5 to 10 years, and they're all either broad comedies or  genre/action/thriller flicks.  Deduction: this was written by an extremely young nerd.  Anyway, here goes.
