Spears.

Friday’s conversation with Coworker Pete:

Mike D: Pete, I’m learning a spear form at Kung Fu

Coworker Pete: Oh yeah?

Mike D: It’s completely awesome. At one point you have to spin the spear around your back using your shoulder as a pivot point and it whips forward in a nasty slicing action

Coworker Pete: You better be careful with that thing

Mike D: It’s really not that dangerous. Most of the time the blade of the spear is very far away from your body anyway.

Key phrase: Most of the time.

Saturday’s overconfidence:

Spear wound

Genius Idea

A conversation between myself and Mr. Ryan Schenk

Ryan: Dude! Check this out
Mike D: Daaaaaaang
Ryan: I know.
Mike D: I’ll watch Erin McNaught try ANYTHING. She should have a TV show called “Watch Erin McNaught do stuff.”
Ryan: ha ha. I’d watch that show.
Mike D: Things I’d like to watch Erin McNaught do: drink a soda
Ryan: replace the batteries in the tv remote
Mike D: send a text message to a friend
Ryan: evaluate hair brushes
Mike D: clean her countertops
Ryan: address envelopes
Mike D: consider different options in the condiment aisle
Ryan: wait for a CD to finish burning
Mike D: winterize her windows
Ryan: make Kool-Aid
Mike D: reheat yesterday’s take-out lunch
Ryan: gaze listlessly out the window

Someone make this happen.

Three conversations/statements

Carl: Wake up Eric.
Eric: unnnnng
Carl: Eric, I just wanted to let you know it’s 7:15
