Wake Up

I’ve had a severe cold since Halloween. It’s actually only gotten worse in the last couple of days, which explains why there haven’t been as many posts. But I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I need to get my brain back in shape. I haven’t done this puzzle yet (I need to [...]

Nightmare Juice

I’ve had a cold since Sunday. I’ve been going to bed well before 9 every night and taking NyQuil to help combat it. The first two nights, I had vivid nightmares while taking NyQuil. I otherwise rarely have nightmares (at least ones that I remember).

Has anyone ever had NyQuil give them [...]

…and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Christopher Walken is a seriously good actor. His style also lends itself great to deadpan humor. The cowbell skit is one of my favorite SNL moments of all time. However, Walken reading Lady Gaga’s absolutely horrendous Poker Face song is up there too:

And yes, I [...]

Expect More

Thanks to my new favorite site I happened to stumble across yesterday, Chartporn.org, expect to see many more charts pop up on The Wahl. I’ve always loved charts to convey information, so this site is awesome.

For example, the chart is a couple weeks old now, but I came across an interesting depiction of [...]

Doing My Part

As most of you probably know, swine flu is everywhere. It’s pretty serious stuff already, and the peak flu season isn’t until February. It could be a rough winter for most.

Gberger sent me this funny/interesting/telling pic from his office this morning about how his group is tracking days they go without [...]

The Easiest of Wins

Thanks to a Bears fan rightfully getting the swine flu before trying to infiltrate Lambeau Field, I was able to get a ticket to the Packer-Lions game yesterday. The game was over in the first seven minutes as Green Bay jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead.

I don’t think Detroit had positive [...]

Tip of the Day

It was a lucrative weekend for me on Wired.com. FIrst, I found some new music. Now, I found an easy way to fix dented beer bong balls.

I don’t even really need to give the instructions, the diagram makes it pretty obvious. And the idea itself seems like a no-brainer. I’ve never really [...]

Take Your Pick

Option 1: Have pigs continue to eat all of the organic trash in your city and ‘risk’ a swine flu epidemic.

Option 2: Ignore experts that say killing the pigs will have no impact on the spread of swine flu (because it is transmitted between humans), hastily destroy all the pigs in your [...]

Weekend Recap

1. I have to admit, I really thought the Packers were going to lose that game. We lost 7 games by 4 points or less last year, so I was conditioned for it. I never thought I’d see the Packers go for a 50yd bomb on 3rd and 1 when a field goal [...]

Wipe Me Down

I can now add van driver and charity work to my resume. I spent an hour this afternoon picking up anti-bacterial wipes from my dad’s company (one of the many categories they produced), loading them into the soccer mom van, and driving them over to the local school. Probably 1200 containers in all.
