Pollen Makes Me the Angry Little Man I Am
Spring is now in full force here in the midwest, and I can tell as my allergies are making me quite miserable. Most of the time I'm fine if I have a Zyrtec/Claritin, but occasionally, the symptoms get so bad I start to resemble the below diagram.
I was in the middle of watching "Batman Begins" last night when the symptoms were peaking. It's during times like these that I start to go on weird thought tangents. During the whole movie I kept thinking that if I was a supervillain in the Batman universe, I would be like the polar opposite of Poison Ivy. I would kill all pollen-bearing plant life with my touch. Then it occurred to me that would be way too much like "Scorch", the arch-enemy of Kool-Aid Man back in the 80's, and you don't want to fuck with Kool-Aid Man. He's a big ass pitcher of red artificially colored justice that will bust through your wall at the most inopportune times...
The symptoms worsened this morning, as I overslept and basically went to work looking like a homeless person (see above diagram). It's nice having a job where I don't deal with people face to face sometimes.
Can't think of anything else to write at the moment. I think I shot the creative wad with the Kool-Aid Man reference.

Is it my imagination or is that a picture of a flame-based lifeform bathing in a tub full of water?
Man. That Kool-Aid is some fucked up LSD shit.
I think he's in a vat of acid. I love "Roast my toast." I plan to use that in a sentence before the day is over.
Did you even braid your hair into pigtails and wear a red sweat/headband to the office too? I'll have to pick you up some matching wrist bands to complete your ensemble!
If he did the braids, he'd have had to glue them on to the sideso f his head. So chances are he just used the sweatband.
allergies make you look like willie nelson? man, i wish i could have allergies.
Haha, I'm with margot--I was like, wow, so a headband and braids is also a symptom of allergies? Dang, get thee to a Farm Aid stat! And I love the Kool Aid Man, just thought I'd let you know. I hate the drink, but I just love the character.
