Prepping For The Derby

It is cold. It is grey. It is snowing outside. Later this snow will turn to freezing rain and ice pellets. Later still, I will have to drive be driven home from work. I have already informed ye on what to do in the event of my untimely death - please brush up because this is a real possibility.

In the event that I do die today, this post will be referred to as "eerily prescient" by local reporters in a story headlined "Local Man Foresaw Own Death, Blogged". But regular readers will know that I routinely predict my own death, and will suspect that I do this not as a joke, but to ensure that a local reporter will refer to me as "eerily prescient" in a story headlined "Local Man Foresaw Own Death, Blogged".

Further, if I do die today it will be doubly unfortunate as I haven't shaven and my otherwise beautiful corpse will be marred by a shitty mustache and fantastically hairy neck.

Seeing that picture again I now think you do not look like Edward Norton in fight club. I think you are much closer to Tom Hanks in Philadelphia when he had aids and was dying.
Just an observation before you you are recognized as one who predicts his death. I think the headline would read as " Local man with eerie resemblance to AIDS ridden Tom Hanks, predicts death, and was found to have skid-marked underwear at the scene of the accident. Also apparently his pubic region also has a neard.

It has been a pleasure knowing you and your neard.
