Turning crashes into quizzes
Hello, and welcome back to everyone's favorite blog game show: Where's Your Head At?! It's the game that's sweeping the nation, as we look inside Reid's brain and try to figure out what the hell's going on in there. But first an important message from your host and future invalid Reid:
So, talking to Hans yesterday, it was pointed out to me that I didn't send out any emails to tell anyone what had happened to me, that plenty of people had to learn about "Daddy's little spill" from a &*%$# blog. There's two reasons for this: one, because no matter how ridiculous it may sound, sending out an email about what happened to me just feels totally self-absorbed. Which, of course, this page is as well, but at least you can elect to stop looking here. Two, it's inevitable that someone will be left off of the email and feel hurt, which has already happened once this week. This is especially likely now since my lifelong claims of my brain being feeble are now proving to be completely true.Everyone set? Okay! Let's play! All you have to do is answer the below questions in the comments. There are no correct answers...or are there?
- Since there's no other reason for a perfectly healthy man to suddenly start getting seizures than the onset of incredible super powers...what will Reid's new super power be? And will it be used for good or evil?
- Will Reid lose weight because he's kind of lost his appetite or gain weight because he's a little nervous about exercising on a light head? (note: you do not have to answer this question if your answer to #1 was "become kind of like The Hulk")
- One of the doctors from the hospital came over to Reid's apartment last night to drop off an extension of the anti-seizure medication because the EEG showed "some unusual things". So, multiple choice: is this the doctors: a) being cautious, b) trying to keep down the super powers, or c) just making sure their fat cat buddies in the pharmaceuticals biz have a steady income flow for the cigars they smoke as they throw money around their dingy backrooms?
- Who brought the flowers on Monday?
- Who sent the cookies today? (you people are mysterious, aren't you?)
- One of the side effects of the anti-seizure pills is dizziness. How much freaking sense does that make?!

If one of the doctors that came over was one of the incredibly good looking doctors, then it could be d) Doctor making up excuse to see the funny man, now showered and struggling to control his new superpower.
Personally, I like bending time and teleporting, but I'm guessing it's probably the ability to knit sweaters without needles or yarn. You could warm the country.
Forget emails, it's all text messages these days. I'm just glad I took your advice and signed up for Google Reader so at least I found out as soon as your post went up.
You might be a new character on that Heroes show. Hey, maybe you'll get to meet that cheerleader.
Or, maybe the Matrix had it right and we're all in a dream world. You woke up for a minute, but the powers-that-be sent you back. The doctors are really their agents checking up to make sure you're not going all Neo on them.
Your superpower depends on whether or not, as you went under, you heard the words "All your base are belong to us".
1) The ability to transfer vitamins from one person's body to another's. Evil Use: using this power to skimp on your vegetable promise. Good Use: Giving Justice Scalia scurvy.
3) The doctor is a Brazilian grindcore fan and is reading this blog.
5) My wife's anti-nausea medicine made her stomach upset.
I think a great superpower would be to have legs like inspector gadget that you could just bo-ing up in the air and back down. You could get around so much faster than plain old boring walking!
