Shoot, I laughed through my nose. The smudging makes it look like a 'shop, though.

As for your incident, when I was first seeing my girlfriend and she lived in South Bend your description reminded me so much of SR 45 it's not funny. Glad that you got through that without incident.

It happened on Almota Road off of SR 26. Had I taken the long way and kept on SR 26, it wouldn't have happened... But the Bend, you say? That's pretty close to my hometown, where I am now.

Oh jeez. At the moment, I am only prepared to say that I am glad that the person you hit did not also crash. When I read the number 196 comment I prepared for a tear-jerker.

So far, my worst traffic experience was sliding off a frozen eastern Washington road and wandering around in the snowy darkness looking for a cell phone signal. A combination of kind passers-by and a trip to higher elevation saved the day. Coincidentally, it was my final trip home from Washington State University.

Nothing wrong with seeing a psychologist. I see one every day I still can't find a way out of my hometown, although not in a professional setting.

It certainly did for me when I was in college. Eating less is no replacement for moving less, I'm afraid.

Did somebody say Lego Island?! I, for one, caught the Brickster. From what I remember, it wasn't easy, though. I'm afraid I can't remember how old I was at that time.

When I was in high school, I really got into Rhinoceros, but apparently NURBS are for chumps. I tried to get into Blender when TF2 first allowed the submission of custom items, but I was unable to teach myself how to use it.

My mother experienced a similar tragedy before my younger sister was born... obviously since I was young and not paricularly affected, I cannot say I empathize with you, but you have my earnest sympathy.

The nose seems rather trivial in light of all these terrifyingly large hands, feet, heads, and that spherical skull.

EDIT: I pray that my post does not invite more scribblings to appear beyond the fold.

Or "heard of it but never bothered to watch the marathons on the SciFi channel." Back when it was the SciFi channel. Back when television mattered. It's on Netflix, I'm pretty sure. And at the risk of starting an argument, I think it's much more interesting than The Outer Limits.

Never heard of him! He's mainly known for being the host of The Twilight Zone. And he was something of a chain smoker, it seems.

Do you lose if you don't even bother to open the link?

I jest. Here's a [surprisingly] good TIME article about US health care, but it's 11 pages long.

Blah blah blah! Blah blah...! Wait, what?

Oh, yeah. It is still my mission to promote tolerance of the newly born. The greatest burdens of infanthood fall on the parents, you instinctually inert baby basher (figurative)!

You sound like you could do a decent Rod Serling impression.
