Struwwelpeter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter One of the most-read books of my childhood. Twisted and terrifying. This tells you a lot about my psychology… Difficult to spell, though.

Tito Puente

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito_Puente I once correctly guessed Tito Puente on the first of a series of “person” hints at trivia night that started vague and gradually became more specific. I believe the hint was “Born in Spanish Harlem in 1923.” I’m neat.

Gulf Relief, Part 2

Addendum to the previous post: A friend just pointed out to me: “We’re already contributing. BP’s cleanup fund is 33% bankrolled by taxpayers ($10B) due to big oil tax credits.” True.

Attic

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attic “known for being awkwardly shaped spaces with exposed rafters and difficult-to-access corners.” Pretty sure there’s an attic where my brain is supposed to be. Bonus: This image alone convinces me that I should buy whatever it is they’re selling. (The Attic Tent, it turns out.) FOAM: THE WAY OF THE FUTURE

Borborygmus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borborygmus The only thing louder than the noble howl of the Three Wolf Moon shirt is the noble growl of the gut beneath it. —— I never know what to say when someone asks me, “What’s your favorite food?” I don’t think in terms of absolutes, because something I crave one day might seem gross the next. I just try to feel what food...

how do you choose what you wiki? it obsesses me....

Ah, the Wiki articles. They are generated by the questions that arise from my daily interactions. From my quest for knowledge and the battle against ignorance. From my neverending bondage to the Intertubes, Youtube, Redtube, the boob tube. They are my caffeine, my nicotine, my deviant sexual proclivities, my highs. Not my alcohol, though… nobody puts my vodka in the corner. I’m...
