What are the odds?
NICK: I love information graphics. Here's a spiffy new chart that lets you know the risks associated with 10 different causes of death.

This Story Ends With Me Putting Him in the Wall
NIDA: Wasn't a big fan of the gecko. Couldn't stand the caveman. But Loren Wallace? Advertising. Gold. Thank you, Geico and your agency of record, for giving us the greatest thing that ever climbed into a race car. Now please stop sending me junk mail.

Weaving and Deceiving
NIDA: Our interwebs seem to be tangled this morning, which sucks a mighty megatron. What will I use to distract me from the work I should be doing if I can't look up amazing must-see beards?
I was sifting through the archives of this weblog recently and man, I used to be really funny. I also used to be 21 but frankly that ain't coming back either. It seems that my steady diet of mind-numbing reality shows has had the adverse effect of er...numbing my mind. Curse you, Heidi Klum! That was Germany's plan all along...to lull us into complacency for 60 years and then conquer us with their tall blonde fashion sense, double kisses, and coterie of adorable catchphrase-spewing gay men. (In case you're wondering, I've also apprehended that my once heroic glossary has been emaciated to variances of "sucks a mighty megatron" and I should probably discharge something about that, because frankly, thesaurus.com sucks a mighty megatron....By the way, this is a lot harder than Jonathan Safran Foer made it look.)
PS. If you're wondering about the title of this blog entry, yes that is the best I can come up with. See what I mean? Germans!
