One in a million

I've noticed that, in recent years, whenever somebody uses the term "one in a million," someone else is quick to point out that, even if you're one in a million, there are roughly five to six thousand other people on Earth who are just like you.

That's a little saddening. No matter how sick, twisted, and perverted you are, there are other people on this planet who are ready to start a club with you.

That's when I came up with my brilliant idea. I figure that if I staple my hand to a pig, I'd probably be doing something that nobody else is doing. For at least one brief moment, I can be unique, and I won't even have to smear feces on myself to stand out from the crowd.

Until other people staple their hands to pigs, anyway.

Don't steal my good idea, please.

been there, done that. And, by the way, I practically INVENTED the art of smearing feces over a person's self.

Hi Rory...

You had a moment of unique-ness by simply thinking up the idea of stapling your hand to a pig. But, you ruined it! By blogging about it, now we're all thinking about hand/swine stapling, and voila - you're one in a million again!

Reminds me of a song by Aussie band <a href="http://www.thewhitlams.com/">The Whitlams</a> which contains the line:<br>"She was one in a million ... so there's five more just in New South Wales."

Sorry to burst your bubble, Jason, but people have been smearing their own crap all over themselves for quite a while now, at least for a few thousand years.

Unless you're a few thousand years old...

OK, Mr. Grumpykins. Sorry.

I didn't realize that with only 5,349,299 blogs about .NET that mine would be missed if I didn't constantly write about HOW TO MAKE C# GO BEEP.

Bye-ee-ee :)

What ?? You think stapling your hand on a pig is _your_ invention ?? Come on.... I've been doing that for years ! I bet for a moment you thought you were creative. Er... remember you're just a Micro$oftie... Can you remind me when was the last time M$ actually invented something ?

" Neopoleon.com

I don't see anything there about this being a .Net Blog.

You should go check out Garden State. There's a scene in that movie about this exact topic... well minus the pig and the feces anyway. It's one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while.

Damn...

here I was hard at work for 2 years taking pictures of my hand stapled to various "world" pigs...

and you ruin the book opening!

Czech pigs, Scot pigs, Schwein, Canadian bacon...

Now, after two years of mad stapling, and diabetic type holes all over my right hand (the good one), you ruin it....

What the hell is it with these 'tards that walk into the comment section of someones PERSONAL blog and whine because it doesn't exactly represent what that moron expects it to be? This sure isn't the first blog where some schmuck cries like a baby because about that.
