What I learned this week.

1.  Solicitors get confused when you try and trade their services for comic books.

2.  Cucumbers give you gas.  Both front and back. Gas is funny.

3.  Mean people suck.

4. Bill collectors get confused when you insist they owe you money.

5.  Fallout 3 is highly addictive.  As is cocaine, but I am not going that far.

6.  Negative people are not going to change their ways at your whim.  It requires all of your friends threatening violence.

7.  Flat Sprite tastes like gritty sugar water.

8.  Morning wood is uncomfortable.  Like sleeping on a tripod.

9.  Papercuts take forever to heal.

10.  No matter how well you take care of yourself, a chest cold will kick your ass.

11.  Education doesn't fix stupidity.

12.  When you announce you are closing your business, it doesn't bring in the customers you thought would come in.  It brings in new people that are instantly depressed they didn't find you sooner.

13.  Q-Tips help deaf people. Deaf people like Q-Tip. And Jungle Brothers.

14.  Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning is infintely better than any other seasoning salt.

15.  Kuwait has moderate winter weather, much like Washington in the spring.

16.  Driving with a cell phone in one hand and picking your nose with the other leaves nothing holding to hold the steering wheel. (Stupid woman, hope she was insured)

17.  Not only is death not sacred in comics, but the fertility rate amongst superheroes appears to be very low. 

18.  Sonic has 5 cheeseburgers for $5.55 on Tuesdays.  Cheapest meal in town.

19.  Comic book consumers seem infinitely more offended by opera than they are poorly written rags.

20.  It is becoming increasing more acceptable in public to threaten violence on loud children.

21.  Christmas can be a cool holiday when you find positive people to surround yourself with.

22.  Perfection takes time.

23.  There is no such thing as a good politician.

24.  Stockpiling for a zombie apocalypse is difficult with no money.  I hope comic books become the approved currency.

25.  Writing is therapeutic, even if it suits no end.
