Hey Nick, tell the good people about the time we went to Kennywood together and ate like 50 fried oreos.
Oh man, Suss and I went to Kennywood and ate like 50 fried oreos.

If you could be any animal for a day (or two days, because why not) which animal would be you be? And you also get to choose one accessory - practical or magical - for your animal self. Go.
I would be the wolf guy from Twilight and kill everyone on Team Edward.
Thoughts on Brooklyn? It seems awesome; is it?
Brooklyn is really great. Living here is pretty much a no-brainer. The rent is cheaper, the neighborhoods are actual neighborhoods, and its an escape from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Not to mention the insane amount of street cred. Not everyone can say they live probably somewhere around 20 minutes from a Biggie mural.
Banana?
You know, sometimes but barely ever. When, in fact, yes; then its usually hard to tell if it isn’t what it could have been yesterday. I remember once when banana and seemed to happen so frequently after the fact. I’ll never forget whatever that failed to become what we most commonly thought we were up against. It’s funny how once upon a wish to be with the one you love how it seems regardless that banana never actually graced his presence.
Do you want to get married? Not to me. Just in general. Also maybe to me though.
I don’t want to get married, but only to you.
Remember when you were reading that book RATS? When you first pulled it out I was all like whatever I don't give a fuck about rats, but then you told me all these facts that made it seem fascinating. Do you remember any of those facts, and if so could you tell me them so I can again go through the process of contemplating reading it until I ultimately end up forgetting.
Uh, rats are crazy.
A rat can squeeze through a hole the size of its skull! They collapse their skeleton down.
Rats have sex about 20 times a day. One rat’s nest can turn into a rat colony by the end of a year, pushing one rat’s descendants into the upper-15,000s.
Rats have teeth that can chew threw steel.
During our sophomore year, George and I lived in the Financial District of NYC, and there was this alley behind our building that had so many rats it looked like the floor was moving from the other side of the street. When we started reading that book, he talked about the alley that his research took place, called Ryder’s Alley. I yelled into the other room, “DUDE. HE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO OUR ALLEY.” And George said, “Yeah, that is our alley. That’s the name of our alley.”
The book, which you can buy here, is really interesting. It staggers the chapters. One chapter will be about a specific insane characteristic of a rat (I only scratched the surface here) and the next will be about how rats played a role in the history of New York City. Because of rats, unions were formed, riots broke out, protests tore apart harlem, etc. etc. It really does give some interesting perspective.
It’s also really terrifying.

If this is the Pro Bowl I wonder what the Amatuer Bowl looks like.

You know me. Always deep thinking.
It's weird that I have to communicate through a tumblr ask box instead of throwing something at your head when you walk by my desk.
Tumblr ask-boxing is the new throwing things at people’s heads.
