I'm a nerd and you don't care!
But I'm posting anyway...
How many of you have heard of Captain Marvel, Earth's Mightiest Mortal? I know Simpson's and Family Guy have referenced him...he's a little kid named Billy, granted powers by the wizard Shazam, so that whenever Billy speak's his name, he will be transformed into Captain Marvel, a ridiculously powerful being. In Family Guy, Peter yells "SHAZAM!" at the end of sex with Lois. Anyway....
I play this card game (like Magic), based on comic book superheroes called Vs. It's both Marvel and DC, so it's a lot of fun.
The newest set had a prerelease today (I couldn't attend though), with a set based on Infinite Crisis. Captain Marvel has a card. When you see his stats, he's extremely weak, as weak as Mary Jane's card.
But wait! You can make him more powerful than other characters! How? By actually saying "SHAZAM!" Doing so will temporarily increase his stats.
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard (and goes to show you all just how sad my life is!).
SHAZAM!

I call it "The Manhug"
Share a Joke Day
So let's share jokes that we've heard / read recently.
Wall Street insiders are abuzz with the rumor about an impending joint venture between Wurlitzer and Xerox. They could team up to produce a reproductive organ.

Blogger Craps Itself
Other than effectively neutering 173 today, the Blogger crap-out should be over after tonight. I managed to push the missing posts to the frontpage, for what it's worth.
To recap the weekend -- we totally got rained out on Saturday so we all went to Chris' beachhouse instead. It was such an awesome time that I left my cell phone there to make sure I could visit again later. (Actually, that's not really true. I left my phone because I'm an idiot who didn't check his pockets on the way out.)
Regarding google searches, I don't think there's an effective strategy available short of personable responsibility. Sucky but true. As Elliot Spitzer said, don't email when you can phone, don't phone when you can talk in person, and don't talk when you can nod.
But I don't follow that rule, so whatever. All google searches for my name generally end up leading to the road in lancaster or some dude who makes miniature gaming things.

173
Let's see if this works, and I apologize if there are a bunch of posts when Blogger finally updates...
173 Lectures.
173 Lectures.
The answer is
Hey Chris,
It's a parody of the Never Ending Story. Peter is riding that big dog thing and it crashes into the Earth
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
