Fruit

Today I picked up a fruit at the fruit sellers and took it home to eat it.  It looked like a big apple.  The flesh inside was not really edible, but then there were the seeds.  Each of the seeds had a ruby case around it that, when pressed between my teeth, would release a [...]

I wonder if the same kind of stuff happens on animal farms….

My friend, Ashley, is a doctor in a state prison.  I won’t tell you which one, or which country singer has a famous song about.  I will only say that, if you shoot a man in Reno, just to watch him die, you could end up there.  Though you would have to cross a state [...]

I wonder what the US RDA is on that…?

Last night I was at a bar.  I know the bartender.  The bar has recently started selling [...]

Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I went to send an email to my two friends, with whom I go to trivia night,  to see if we will be doing trivia tonight.  "Trivia" coming from the latin tri, meaning “three” and via, meaning “road” or “way”.  Thus leading to me typing an email as follows:

Hey girls, are we doing some three-way [...]

It gives new meaning to the term Verschränkung.

I had the follwing IM conversation with my friend Jerry:
Dan: I had a date on Friday with that cute gamer girl… only to find out she’s not interested in me that way. Not “that way,” as it were, but rather she wants a Friday night Fascape-watching buddy.  So, that’s kind of disappointing.  On the plus [...]

Just call me Fagin

Before I get on with the story, I must tell you that I did, in fact, break down and order a case of pure, unadulterated bottled nerd juice.  (Note:  it is not, as far as I can ascertain, made from nerds, but rather for nerds.  Just so you know.)

"How did that happen?"
"I had movie night with my friend Jerry.  We watched Lost in La Mancha and Kentucky Fried Movie, and we had a few [...]
