This is not — I repeat, not — a complete list of things I have never done. Obviously, I have never murdered anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to put it on the list. I’ve also never listened to an entire Miley Cyrus song, but… Actually, that’s a good one to add.
I have never shouted “let’s get this party started” after entering a room. I have, however, thrown blunt objects at people who have done this.
This has been mentioned here on my blog before, but given the post’s topic it bears repeating: I have never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Madness, you say? Well, what do you say after I tell you peanut butter is one of my favorite things; jelly/jam is something I rarely eat, but find tasty; and bread is something I’ve probably eaten a billion times during my lifetime? Now how does the revelation strike you?
No, I will not submit to psychological testing.
I remembered this particular tidbit after reading a recent post from Jenny about the movie: I have never seen It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s true. I’ve not seen it, not once. Sure, I know of it. And I know the general plot since it’s been referenced or mimicked in everything from Saturday Night Live to Steve Urkel’s Family Matters. But, I’ve never actually seen it.
And while we’re on the topic of classic movies everyone in the world except yours truly has seen, I should add I have never seen Gone with the Wind. Even though I dated a woman for 13 months who claimed it was her all-time favorite movie, I’ve never seen it. Even though I once bought said girlfriend the Four-Disc Collector’s Edition of the movie, I’ve never seen it.
And yes, I’m suddenly thinking the same as you: I might not be as good of a boyfriend as I think I am.

“The Internet is over. Just like my relativity.”
I have never declared the Internet to be a fad whose time is over. But then again, I’m not Prince. People may scoff at the tiny one’s hilarious proclamation. And yes, I too have once upon a time poked fun at the little man. Just remember: He’s been right before. Didn’t we all party like it was 1999 back on New Year’s Eve 1998? Yes. Yes, we did. Prince nailed that one.
I have never laughed hysterically upon hearing the news a judge has sentenced Lindsay Lohan to jail for 90 days. Okay, that one is a lie. I totally laughed. I even Twittered about it.
I have never talked to a dog or cat expecting to receive an answer. I have, however, talked to a dog and cat for the purpose of making people around me think I was expecting an answer. Nothing says “Leave me alone, people, I’m reading a book” quite like “And what’s your name? … Meow? … Why, that’s a funny name!”

“No, Baby. I’m not sick. This is just my fish face. Does it make you hot?”
Granted, only someone as certifiably insane as Nicolas Cage would have ever done this, but I have never used an animal’s sexual practices to determine whether or not I will eat it. Oh sure, all of us at one time or another have thought about how fish fertilize their eggs when we are biting into a fork full of halibut (he writes, sarcastically), but leave it up to ol’ Nic to seriously ponder such things and have them dictate his diet.
Of course, this does beg several questions. Among them: Years from now, when Cage is giving his son the “birds and bees” talk, will he literally be talking about birds?
I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.

The only good thing I can say about Nic Cage is that he was the one who told Johnny Depp (who was at that time sleeping on Nic’s floor) to try out for a movie part. Love ya forever for wrecking my life, Nic! *blows kisses*
My live would be meaningless if dogs did not talk back to me. Come to think of it, perhaps my life is meaningless anyway. I shall have to ask Javier about that.
I saw GWTW for the first time when I was, like, nine. But I never saw IAWL all the way through until I was in my thirties … I think. I’ve seen it approximately 4,597 times so it’s hard to remember. Kev, DO NOT let Christmas 2010 lapse into memory before you have watched that film from start to finish without pausing to get up for a snack. PROMISE ME! You cannot continue in such brazen cultural illiteracy. You simply cannot.
Come to think of it, you’re coming here to watch it with me. Snacks will be at hand so that you don’t have to get up until after Zuzu delivers the next-to-last line in her inimitable style.
What snacks, you ask? Why peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, of course.
All you care to eat.

I concur w/ Jenny – you HAVE to watch It’s a Wonderful Life this Christmas. It’s my other favorite Christmas movie, next to A Christmas Story. I watch it every year, sometimes a few times!
I want your mom to comment and vouch for the fact that you’ve NEVER EVER EVER had a pb&j, even when you were a young tot and may not even remember said sandwich.
Gone With the Wind…I’ve seen it once. A long, long time ago. I don’t remember it being all that spectacular.

@Jenny: That’s a pretty cool story about Cage and Depp. Of course, in my head, I imagine Nicolas Cage was WAY over the top when giving Depp that advice. “You should…[eyes dart around the room]…should…should…RISE UP, Johnny…rise up…[gives a sadistic smile]…and…and…TRY OUT FOR THAT MOVIE!”
Haha. So you’re inviting me for a IAWL viewing, PB&J eating extravaganza? Sounds awesome. Maybe I’ll talk to Javier, and have him talk back to me, so I can cross off three things from my list in one sitting!
@Angi: See, my mom may, and likely would, say she is “pretty sure” she fed me a PB&J at some point. But she doesn’t know for sure and she is biased! “What kind of mom would I be if I admit to never feeding my child a PB&J sandwich??” So, she’ll say she did. But it will be a lie. A LIE!

Angi! Go wash your fingertips off with soap for typing that GWTW wasn’t all that spectacular! Honeychile that’s dayunraht unAmeruhcun! *simpers*
