Maybe Ken will read this sad piece and hire you back out of pity.

Well done, by the way.

On Why Will Leitch Burned All His Baseball Cards: A Q&A

When I was about 12-13 my younger bro (only by 19 months) and I gathered all of our figurines (ninja turtles, GI joes, etc) and put them on a makeshift raft (tobacco sticks weaved together with bailing twine....I also grew up on a farm) and sent them down the creek that ran behind our house. We waited until after a decent rain so the flow would carry them easily. We chased after the raft, navigating through the woods following this life raft of memories that was sure to make its way to the Gulf of Mexico eventually. It picked up pace when the stream got thinner and faster and we eventually lost sight of it before it crossed onto the neighbor's property (that we were frequently told to never encroach due to his affinity for drinking and shooting his rifles at trees).

On How Much Can You Expect As A Return On That $2 Powerball Ticket?

Love this analysis. A dude at work collects for tickets when the jackpot get high enough. On average there are 35-40 of us and at $2 per person I wonder what our expected return is?
I never play alone, but somehow I feel like sharing all these numbers with these random folks I don't really care for gives me better odds of winning at least something one day.

On What Movies Make You Ignore Everything Else?

@lobsterhug I dug the hell out of Avatar in the theater (maybe the last time I was at a cinema, actually) but it didn't quite translate for me to DVD, found myslef getting bored in the last 45 mins. Maybe bc it brought out so many polarized opinions that the first viewing and subsequent discussions took all the juice out of it?? Not sure.
