Plan B: September 2012

http://www.wordswardian.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Episode 63: Sunburns and Cultural Confusion. So, on a beautiful September day in the great state of Indiana I was minding my own business watching what was supposed to be soccer (as it turns out, 7-year-olds aren't very good at making it look much like soccer, despite the jerseys, cleats, shin guards, goals, and soccer balls) when I was brutally attacked by the sun. Links to this post. Saturday, September 15, 2012. Episode 4: Super Windy Turbo Jet Turbine Hand Dryers.

Plan B: April 2015

http://www.wordswardian.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 18, 2015. All you can really do with fish is stare at them, which seems to make them nervous, probably because they think you are contemplating how best to prepare them for dinner. They don’t realize the only people who actually eat tiny fish are drunk frat boys and sober junior high boys, and none of those boys do much in the way of preparation. In any case, do we really want to teach our children to stare? How is that responsible parenting? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Plan B: January 2014

Friday, January 10, 2014. Episode 69: Good Friend Robert Redford. So the other day, I received a note from my good friend Robert Redford. I was pretty excited because I hadn't heard from him in forever, but that's probably only because he has never heard of me. Apparently the NRDC is "the Earth's best defense" against "those who would destroy it." At least that's what my Certificate of Appreciation says. Who wants to destroy Earth? Links to this post.

Thursday, April 5, 2012. Episode 50: Nice People. I have learned some interesting things during my travels and gatherings. For instance,. Is the “World Headquarters of Nice People.” I am sure it is totally unrelated, but. It didn’t really look like a very big town. Or maybe it really is just the headquarters, so there is an office with a few people toiling away at whatever it is nice people around the world need from their headquarters. It being a holiday family gathering, I am sure I had eaten all sorts...

Plan B: March 2013

http://www.wordswardian.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 30, 2013. Episode 66: Big Game Hunting. Hunting, as I remember it growing up, involved trying to sneak up on or chase animals that ran away as soon as they saw, smelled, or heard you. Hunting in the big game world involves hunting animals that very well may be hunting you at the same time. This sounds rather insane, so I figured I should read up on big game hunting. Alright, back to the Hippos chapter for more on the photographer who survived having his leg chomped by a curious and rather...

Plan B: May 2014

http://www.wordswardian.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 3, 2014. Episode 70: Education Revolution. Picture yourself in a second grade classroom. There are 20 or so students trying to make the most of their public education experience and one student causing a massive disruption by yelling at the teacher, refusing to do his work, throwing things, and whatever other disruptive behavior an elementary brain can conceive. Let's apply this lesson to life as adults. This would be akin to a peaceful and law-abiding family awakening to a burglar in t...

Friday, March 16, 2012. Episode 62: The System is Down. 8220;Every bite is pure joy.”. That little tidbit of knowledge came from my McDonalds bag today. It also informed me the reason I “get so much pleasure out of a McDonald’s hamburger,” is because McDonalds uses 100% pure beef. It didn’t really do me any good today with my slightly warm dried out crispy chicken sandwich, but it did make me feel better about the last time I enjoyed a somewhat warm paper-thin slice of beef from them. It shouldn’t ...

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Episode 65: The Worst that Could Happen. I realized today that people are not overly creative when they ask the question, "Well, what's the worst that could happen? They always seem to have their own answer to their own question, but it very often reveals a very optimistic and naive lack of cerebral effort. Usually, the worst thing that could happen is assumed to be directly related to the topic of conversation at the time. I think you see my point, which is great, because I'...

Plan B: Episode 45: Lost and Found

http://www.wordswardian.com/2014/08/episode-45-lost-and-found.html

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Episode 45: Lost and Found. You see, crows recognize human faces. If you get on their bad list, they all yell at you wherever you go. In fact, if you get on one crow’s bad list, word will likely travel fast and you will find yourself on lots of bad lists in the crow community. Scientists who tagged crows found this out the hard way when they started noticing cacophonic crows wherever they went. What does all this have to do with wallets from 1982? Anyway, the lesson here is if...
