Have you ever wondered why Zerglings are in such great shape? I mean, they run marathons around Marines and Zealots without breaking a sweat.

I’m sure the creep spread throughout the terrain helps, but I’m convinced that these little Zerglings have an incredibly healthy diet. Their brood mothers probably make sure they eat all of their veggies before storming the enemy base.

I assume all the veggies are kept in the spawning pool… That’s why it’s green, right? It’s just pureed leafy greens!

Why else would Zerglings be so fast? Clearly, it’s diet and exercise! Perhaps they use Quest Protein in their creep spread?

For Halloween this year, my team decided to show great office synergy by coordinating our costumes. We held a secret ballot to choose which theme to roll with for October 31st. And the winner by a land slide was Bomberman.

The theme was set and I was ready; ready to do very little to contribute to the actual theme… Luckily, our super star graphic designer / part time costume designer (?), pulled through and carried most of the weight of the project. His shoulders probably ache from toiling away on these costumes. However, the results were pretty badass:

Blue Bomberman don’t give a sh*t

While everyone else kept their papier-mâché heads intact, I was a bumbling idiot as usual and dropped mine on the floor. Luckily, the damage was minor and all-mighty duct tape came into play to help fix what my butter fingers could not. Thanks, duct tape.

The moral of the story is don’t give me nice fragile things because I’m clumsy.

With October over and gone, it’s time to buckle up for winter. When I think winter, I think of tons of blankets and soup. I don’t think of snow though because I’m from California and we don’t have an abundance of snow.

Soup is tasty, but let’s make it tastier by adding some meatbombs. Yes, meatbombs. We’re gonna roll like Bomberman and start throwing bombs into everything.
