"I will say it again... they cannot hurt you unless you let them." Thursday September 27th, 2007

I'm sure to get some hate mail from the Tom fans for this comic, but hopefully you'll let me slide because you have to admit his armor is sweet and he was the first ninja to fully defeat one of the Fuzen in Kentan. More importantly it seems as if Dawson has some secrets of his own. I did my best to give you some clues without revealing secrets. The secret will be revealed, but I will tell you ahead of time that the revelation of the secret has some secrets hidden behind that as well. You'll know what I mean in a year or two.

Anyway I will spoil the suspense by saying this fight is pretty much over and that we will be heading over to the Intelligence VS Wisdom debate next week. Although the fight is relatively short, I will say that all of Dave and Kris's fights are a veritable contest of wills. Who will outsmart and outwit the other this time?

I don't have any other news to report on I think. I am trying to plan a trip up to Syracuse because I need to get some stuff that I left up there. I'll probably do it during a weekend. I don't know if I will make it a one day back and forth trip or just stay in a motel for a night and then drive back the next day. If I do that then I might just have to head out to Tahou's while I am it. A garbage plate would really help my mindset. Anyway it's not a bad trip, but I just don't like the thought of having to brood over a 5 and a half hour car ride . Ugh.

P.S. - I just finished sending an email to Tom in England where I ripped into one of the most idiotic shows on TV. I will cut and paste my thoughts here....I want to say that Are You Smarter than a 5th grader game show proves how dumb some Americans are. I just watched the show tonight and there was only one question that I couldn't answer with 100% confidence. I will say this though and it's that the 5th graders on the show are definitely either very gifted kids or the youth of America is generally getting smarter. I vote for neither of the above and that the show is rigged somehow in regards to how some of these kids get the answers. I mean if I asked any 5th grader what an Anthropoid is, what are the chances they would know? I enjoy the show because I love trivia, but this show makes me stark raving crazy with how stupid some people are. Ugh.
