When I was younger I was very confused whenever I looked at a statistical analysis in a newspaper or magazine. If it said something like “46% of Americans do so and so” I would always immediately think, “But they never asked me!”
I like to look up the definitions of words that I already know and use as a way of “fingerprinting” them. That way I know exactly what they mean so I can understand and use them better. It’s like my head is a camp for words, and I don’t want just anybody showing up and frolicking around on the playground of my brain. At the very least, I need to know who’s here and who’s not. *over megaphone* Every word is expected to sign in, and get a name tag. Thank you.
Be happy when you see the meaningless passions of others that you don’t share. People invest their emotions in certain activities that are good for nothing in the end, and if for no single reason you just so happen to not share an investment in that activity, be content knowing you are free.
Is a possible symptom of a food allergy getting a nosebleed while eating that food? Twice on Saturday I ate a frozen turkey dinner that you warm up in the microwave, and both times my nose starting bleeding right in the middle of eating! I’m sure you can imagine the surreal bewilderment this caused.
That’s all for today, thanks for tuning in folks! And have a good day!

My mom is BooksForMe.
p.s. Calvin and Hobbes is by far one of the best cartoons ever created.
Great post! I say, stay away from the turkey dinners. (A little bitter about the Red Sox beatng the Indians, eh?)
you might try readers digest (rd.com) for thier fun word games.
and yes, hobbes is my hero
I adore the word metaphor. Mostly, because I do something similar. I can read a word and interprete that action or thought, but I want to get a detailed deffinition so I can be certain I’m using it correctly. Hello, Dictionary.com!

i’ve never heard of an allergy causing a nosebleed but the coincidences are strange. did you sneeze really hard right before eating and make the nose bleed in that way it would make sence. i know i sneeze right after taking cough medicine for some reason. i don’t know why but it’s happened ever since i was a child.
I’ll be happy now watching my friends talk about sports without having anything to contribute. I’ll shout “FREEDOM!” the next time anyone asks me something about sports.
A lot of statistics can be inaccurate. It helps to look at the source and see if it is reliable or not. It also helps to look at the make-up of the focus group.
RYC: No….we don’t have “suburbs” where I come from.
This is an amazing post. (Though I am sorry to hear about the nose bleeds)
It’s always nice to meet a fellow Calvin & Hobbes fan.
