• Softball and Pyramid Schemes

  My IM softball team won tonight.  I chronicled our loss last week where I sucked eggs.  I made huge progress over the course of the week.
  
  Last week I struck out twice and never contacted the ball.  This week I actually hit little dribbling grounders twice for outs.  Great success.
  
  Now I'll attempt to get a hit.  Baby steps.
  
  Today I saw this ultra old dude at the store.  He looked so old he was like a skeleton.  But he had this shirt on that was from some blood drive a long time ago.  It said like, "Blood Drive '91".  Here's an approximation.
  
  
  
  At first I figured that was a good investment, because he is still wearing the shirt he got 17 years after the fact.  But then I figured he probably wishes he had some of that blood right about now.  Maybe stored up somewhere.
  
  I've never given blood to a blood drive.  It probably hurts and everyone knows it's just a scheme for vampires to get blood to drink.  I've seen this fact in multiple sources including Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch series.
  
  And I don't trust the nurses pricking you.  When they are taking out your blood, how do you know they're not putting stuff back in?  Like cyanide.
  
  Here's a confidential picture I found.
  
  
  
  The moral of the story is that you can't trust anyone.  And they become that much more untrustworthy when they have needles and access to your veins.
  
  And I won't fall for their advertising tools.  Like their fluffy characters. 
  
  
  
  Why would I want to hug a giant drop of blood?  Wouldn't I get blood all over me?  That is disgusting not to mention not sanitary. 
  
  Why would you be hugging the blood anyway?  You're giving the blood away.  I guess it could be considered a hug goodbye to your blood. I'd rather hug a giant syringe.
  
  
  
  Now that's a good marketing campaign.  I came up with it.  I get points for that.
