Movie. Finally saw one that’s been on my list for a few years…Wordplay.  It’s about crossword puzzlers – those who do them and those who make them.  It features Will Shortz of NYT crossword fame and follows a handful of nerdy/lovable hopefuls going for the grand prize at the 2005 Crossword Championship.  Loved it.

Bibs. Before my last race, I opened a conversation on the Women’s BQ thread concerning bib placement.  I’d been thinking about race photos and how I often have a case of radar nips.  While this might be a pleasant sight for a large part of the population, it squicks me out.  I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve photoshopped two or four.

I got to thinking, “what if I just pin my bib higher, so it covers up the area in question?”  Eureka!  But wait, would it look stupid?  So I do an image search on Google for Elite females and see that a majority of them pin their bibs higher, even when not necessitated by a short top.  So that’s what I did at Lehigh and it worked a charm.  No more radar nips – it’s all part of a big underworld lady secret.

Farts. Ever since I posted that Kashi Go Fart post back in December, Google’s been sending me visitors daily searching for “kashi farts” “cereal farting” and other keywords of that nature.   This afternoon, someone linked to it from a foodie site, Chowhound.com because he thought it funny (having found it on his own “kashi fart” quest) so I’ve had tons of folks coming to read it all day.  There’s something satisfying about being recognized for your farts.
