Let's be honest, blogger fantasy football is only fun to read about for those of us playing and since I am testing out BlogMad tonight, I feel like I should post something remotely interesting to read. So here's a little dose of classic DOWN WITH PANTS! Please excuse the ugliness of the drawing, I was still using Microsoft Paint at that point for all of my graphic design needs.
A couple of months ago I noticed that I write the number eight differently than most people. Instead of one single continuous line in a loop-de-loop, I write mine with two separate circles...

So I have been asking everybody I know how they write the number eight and so far I have yet to find anyone who draws their eights the same way I do. In fact, I have had to put up with a ton of ridicule from my co-workers, friends, family and even my fiance since confessing my difference. My education and upbringing have been questioned on numerous accounts. My self-esteem has been torn in shreds due to my newly acquired minority status.
But today I come out and announce to the world, "I draw the number eight with two circles, and I'm damn proud!" Screw all of you for making me feel bad about myself because I am different than you. I am proud of my difference and will continue to flaunt it. I plan on writing the number eight like I do for the rest of my life no matter what happens.
Besides, I am right. You may have learned some fucked up way from your awful elementary teachers long ago but when you type the number eight, what does it look like?

They look like two circles on top of each other to me. I suppose you are going to tell me that you continue to write in perfect cursive like you learned in elementary school. Has anybody ever written a "Z" like they were taught in cursive after the sixth grade? No, they haven't...and you shouldn't continue to write an eight in that ridiculous manner anymore either.
But whatever, you can't help it if you were brainwashed at an early age. Was I the only one smart enough to recognize it?

I totally write my 8s like that! I think it must be genetic because my dad wrote his like that too. And you are right, it seems like no one else does it the right way! ;)
some days I write my 8s like you do, and some days I write them the 'wrong' way. ;) I have also three different handwriting styles. I'm weird like that.
Dude, my eights are like your eights. We're like brothers.
How do you write your e's? I start at the left intersection, go up and around, then down to the end.
Hey, this was an interesting post.
My dad does his 8's like that too. I always thought he was weird.
My 5 year old draws his 8's like you. So you aren't alone dear.
LMAO GREG!!
smartass
You are so not alone! I write my 8s the right way too.
I don't write anymore... I block print.... sad but true.
PS, my married last name starts with a Z and I SO do the correct cursive Z. It's a flaw of mine I'm willing to admit, but only to you brandon.
Some of us don't have enough time on our hands to write the two circles. Sniff.
I write my 8s like that too. Word.
I'm a 2 circle 8 kinda girl. Found your blog tonight and I love it. Will definately keep reading
Wow, this is pretty amazing. I am no longer in the minority. But I just suspect that all of us cool bloggers are so cool that we write the right way. All of those unhipsters out there still write their eights the loopedy loop style.
