this is twice as funny when you think about how it was made by guys in their 20's, rather than 8 year olds.

so i got poison oak for "real" the first time last monday. i've had a tiny patch once or twice before, but this was the real deal. it kept getting worse for about a week and a half, and having no idea what normal poison oak behavior is i went to the doctor yesterday. you know it's bad when you lift up your pant leg and your doctor goes "WOAH." it's worse when he tells you that he could have helped you within the first 3 days, but now you're basically screwed for the next two weeks. THEN it gets even worse because your leg swells up and you have trouble putting your shoe on, so you leave your leg on top of your desk at work looking like some kind of awkwardly positioned yokel. and let's not forget that every time you walk, it feels like someone is pouring scalding hot water on the back of your leg.

touche poison oak, touche.

can i just say that the dst move chapped my hide too? the clock in my hotel auto-updated itself, but on the old dst schedule, and woke me up an hour early. compare this to y2k where absolutely nothing happened. except maybe a little extra partying when the ball dropped in times square, just in case the world actually did implode.

the perfect gift for that special someone who has an affinity for pirates and other grog-swilling water-borne hoodlums.
