Yes, I am a geek. I finally admit it. The new issue of Scientific American came to my door today and in every issue they have a section called “50, 100, 150 years ago” where the have blurbs from Scientific American issues from 50, 100, and 150 years ago (aptly named, to be sure). In this issue they had 50, 100, 150 MILLION years ago!!! It was hysterical. Fake little articles about whales moving back into the sea, massive meteor showers, and a patented invention intended to rid the world of trilobites called “Trilo-B-Gone”. I laughed, I sighed, I declared my love for Scientific American all over again. I tried to explain it to others and i was met with blank stares. You guys don’t understand, this is really funny! Don’t you get it? Whales didn’t CHOOSE to evolve back into the oceans!!!! Sauropods were never on the moon! And the great Permian extinction of the trilobites wasn’t caused by a pest repellent!
Um… Right…. go back to your Barney Miller reruns, I’ll just sit here quietly.
Memory
The goldfish swam to the top. “I don’t recall you ever feeding me.”
She turned her head. “There is much you don’t remember.”
A fair warning
If you ever come to my house, don’t drink the apple juice. I am the only one in the house who drinks it, so I drink it out of the bottle. Yes, even the giant jug of apple juice gets upended into my waiting mouth. If you want apple juice, tell me in advance and I will buy a new jug and use a glass.
Digilicious
My computer still smells like computer
Even the part I put my thumb on.
The Naming
And so it shall pass that on this day, March 21, 2002 my bladder shall be known as Peabo Bladder.
Do not forget this day or this name.
You may refer to my bladder as Peabo or Peab, but never Pea.
