Death takes a holiday; colds work overtime

This being Memorial Day weekend, a four-day weekend at that, I thought it would be a wonderful time to contract a cold. On the upside, my four-day weekend became five-days long; on the downside, I feel like my head is made of cotton candy.

And not the good, circus kind either; that hard, mylar-wrapped insulation you find alongside astronaut dinners in the gift shop during field trips.

So, in the spirit of not knowing exactly what it is I'm doing, here are my Top Five Colds of Modern Times:

5. Any given NyQuil ad

I've been taking Tylenol Cold; still, I prefer NyQuil.

4. Evil Ryu vs Fat Albert

Knocked out cold!

3. Mr Freeze (fr. Batman & Robin)

Cool pahty! Chill owt!

2. Hello Goodbye

You say goodbye and Ice, hey, hello.

1. Snow

A-licky boom-boom down, indeed.
