5. Trees did not go the way of the Double Wide.

6. KXAS-Channel 5 news anchor Jane McGarry did not get her junk pierced at Ozzfest.

7. Mwanza Dover did not join a monastery and take a vow of silence.

8. The Happy Bullets did not compose a seven-hour thrash metal opera about how delicious Crystal Pepsi was.

9. TexasGigs.com did not throw us a surprise party for our birthday.

10. We did not totally see you give some dude a tug job in a booth at the Slip Inn. Not only did we not see that, we didn't take a bunch of pictures of it and then post them on your MySpace page as a slideshow with James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" playing in the background. That was somebody else that did that.
