I ain’t afraid of you.
Note the presence of my regular nerd glasses underneath my eclipse glasses. The reasons for that are somewhat complicated; just move along.

My friends are talking about the Greek classics.
I know there’s a pun to be found here somewhere, but so far Odyssey it.
Oh, c’mon. This joke was a Homer run.
An earthquake and an eclipse within four days of each other?
I hope Demi Moore’s unborn child is okay.
(IYKYK.)
(And I feel so hollow about it.)
My brain: concentrate on the task in front of you.
Also my brain:
My horse-fake brings all of Troy to the yard.
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
Gonna teach them — with a Graecian charge!

Guys, I have absolutely not joined a modern dance troupe.
That post on Monday about joining the “Apollo Fridays” dance company was absolutely an April Fool’s Day joke. If the anagram didn’t clue you in, then the villain names from FOX’s “24” probably should have (even if it’s fun to imagine Nina Meyers, Victor Drazen and Stephen Saunders conspiring to produce a national modern dance tour).
I really hope no offense was take by any of the people who believed me? The wife of one of my college buddies wanted to support me by attending a show in Washington. And another college friend actually is a modern dancer who really wanted to encourage me. You guys are all so cool, your support for my faux accomplishment actually was touching!

“The last whisper of your transaction, success is the vow we avow.”
These fake-invoice e-mail scams are really getting poetic.
Not gonna fall for the scam itself, but I just might fall for you, oh Internet trickster.
I don’t understand the new “Walking Dead” preview.
A sure thing.
I noticed this last night. Ridley Scott is a Cinema God, and I should be cast out for nitpicking his genre-defining masterpiece. (If you need to ask which movie I am talking about, I’m not sure we can be friends.)
But the word nerd in me needs to point out that the computer here probably meant “ensure” instead of “insure.”
