46 of the Stupidest Things I Did in 2005

I do a lot of stupid things. I’m not sure if I’m just a stupid person, or if there is something wrong with my brain, perhaps due to an early injury, like when I fell off that pony at the state fair. Maybe I don’t know if I am stupid because I am too stupid to realize it. Oh man now my head hurts.

Regardless of the reasons, I have done a record-breaking number of stupid things this year, and would like to end this comedy season with a recap of my bloopers. You may wonder why I would want to display these embarrassing facts for thousands of people to laugh at. I’m not sure why either. I just like to do things and think about them later. Right now it feels like ants are eating my brain.
