Post a CommentNice list dude. You are truly a CP.
LOL These are so true! I'll have to look into how to get those stickers!
This is great and I'm reading it a year later. Too funny!
This is so very funny - I see I've been missing some good content here. :-)
I guess I'm a CP! I don't go to another computer to vote on my own articles though. I let others vote. That would definitely be cheating. But I do try and turn just about everything I come across into an article idea though...

If you hear the cracked bell of Truth ringing, it is not signaling your freedom, it is just another CP article idea:)
I can't figure out how to set up the spreadsheet yet...but that's the only one I miss! LOL!! Great article!
I had thought I was a CP, but could only relate to about 4 of these. Thanks for the suggestions.
Haha.. this is funny. I'm pretty new here, but I have to admit much of that list already described me.
