While You Were Out
I’m back after a brief holiday respite. Here’s a rundown of what happened to me during the holiday and/or Chinese-food-eating, depending on your religion:
- I was barely breathing (apologies to Duncan Sheik). I mentioned a couple months ago that my parents got a dog. I’m allergic to dogs. Not only could I not breathe through my nose, but I could barely breathe through my mouth by Christmas Day.
- My fantasy football team got slaughtered in my league’s championship game (thanks for nothing, Adrian Peterson). I still came out ahead money-wise, and it was my best showing in six years of fantasy football.
- I went to Barnes & Noble, where I was told that they were “all out” of I Am America (And So Can You!).
- I went to Borders, where they had the same book in no less than three different floor displays.
- I got a bad case of road rage by having to deal with the country’s worst drivers for five days.
- I got prepped for tailgating at the Giants-Patriots game this weekend by packing a grill, camping stove, comfy chairs, and a beer pong table.
- I kicked myself for learning that I could probably sell my Giants-Patriots tickets on eBay for $1500 each.
Now, back to work for the most pointless week of the year. Nobody is around, and nothing gets done. Sounds like a great excuse to come in late and leave early!

Darkman says:I also found Colbert there after finding none in Target or Wmart, which is what we have here. In Target I was told “you won’t get that here, he’s a leftie”.

Todd says:This morning I went straight from the airport to work. Lame.
You’ve got to listen to the Audio version too. Read it first though, it’s hysterical.

Meaghan says:Look dearie, since I have expierienced the “Chris Driving Experience” I can say without a shadow of a doubt that you should count yourself among the rhode island drivers who are the worst in the nation. Congrats.
