I'll start out...

1. You're either on it or you've never tried it

2. In this day and age, the type of society we find ourselves living in, every person of worth needs to have a gun at all times to protect themselves.

3. Cats: they're drippy little things that either float a foot above the floor or whiskerless & get stuck behind the refrigerator

4. You can get a 9-speed bike for $50 (and bike shorts for free!)

5. Time to thaw Walt out!

6. It's easier to shoot someone than read them their Miranda rights

7. Hammer: it's the perfect tool for this job

8. The best way to protect your house is to leave the front door unlocked with a note saying "come on in, the door's unlocked."

9. You can get a gram of pure cocaine for under $3

0 - That someone inevitably makes these idiotic 101 things I learned threads in various movies trying to be quirky and witty or point out something odd/hilarious/wrong, but end up showing just how uncreative they really are.

0.5 - some troll invariably displays his/her lack of creativity and sense of humor by whining about these lists like a duck in a wine press.

"That's right, ma'am: I'm in charge here. No one's getting through to you unless I say so."

Oh I can appreciate humor. I have yet to see any. Using .5 is a perfect example of this - neither witty, or funny, and PK Dick would yell at you for breaking a standard convention of a numbered list.

I'm not a troll. Look at my posting history, which more creativity and dark humor; I doubt you'll understand it however. I just dislike stupidity.

42. Cocaine is made by freezing shaving cream and throwing fruit at it
43. The most effective silencer is to make everyone deaf
44. Buying a bike for $50 is a good example of total providence
45. When gypsies sell you a bike with free racing shorts included, you must discard whatever you were wearing at the time and wear your prize home
46. You must introduce the novelty if you are to thwart the albino shape-shifting lizard b1tches

If you started to watch a boring movie, don't watch it patiently to the end, hoping it would become better, drop it.
