New Article: X-E Goes On A Cruise!


A new article, as promised. Click here to read my review/recap/diatribe/whatever on our recent cruise vacation, which is really just a hodge podge of useless thoughts and information on everything from Cuban cigars to ghost crabs. After writing and editing, I still felt like something was missing. Finally, it hit me. "Coherence!" I didn't fix it to add coherence, but it's nice to be cognizant. Being cognizant gives me the excuse to use the word "cognizant." It's a fun word. Try being cognizant sometime, so you can use it too.

Mr. Wizard died. :cry:

whoa…no offense but the cruise seems a little gutterbutt-ish

Chestnuts roasted by Kevin @ 06/12/2007 10:12 PM

I guess it was on the cheap side.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/12/2007 10:16 PM

thats cool…cruises are overrated. I’m surprised you didn’t go on a Disney cruise.

Lovebugs are also a Georgia specialty. They suck.

Adventure articles are my favorites.
This one was long, hilarious, and poignant in that subtle way you do so well.

You do the math.

I am about to read the article but before I do, that seagull at the top cracks me up.

I think your chips are going to be my new wallpaper. Yes, they are.

Awesome article. I was asked what I was doing twice due to laughter. Cruises have never really interested me very much. I’ve been on, like, 8012 whale watches and kinda figured a cruise might feel like a very long whale watch, without the whales to keep me interested. However, after reading the article, I MUST BOOK A CRUISE. I want to buy duty free cigs in that adorable packaging. I now have a vision of creating a little man out of the double carton box, using Potato Head parts, then standing it up in my freezer. That way, I can have a happy little cigarette man to greet me when I go to retrieve a full pack.

Whoa- I just came by to check the blog, forgetting that it was the promised TUESDAY. Thanks for the article, Matt- you rock. Now, on to read another XE adventure!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 06/12/2007 10:58 PM

Wow, sounds like if I ever get the chance to go on a cruise, I should…totally pass it up. Smoking, drinking, and gambling ain’t my bag. :P

Anyway, nice article. Well worth the wait.

One day i wanna go on the Disney cruise…a girl can dream

Chestnuts roasted by Amanda @ 06/12/2007 11:11 PM

hmm in noticed that i posted that at 11:11..in that case, I will make a wish. I wish to go on the Disney cruise.

Chestnuts roasted by Amanda @ 06/12/2007 11:11 PM

The new article is awesome, Matt! Definitely worth the wait.

I loved Mr. Wizard, what a great show. He was one of the first people to make science “cool”.

Chestnuts roasted by Justin @ 06/12/2007 11:13 PM

Both posts were at 11:11. Wish again.

Chestnuts roasted by 11- @ 06/12/2007 11:18 PM

You can’t double wish.It’s bad luck! EEK!

Anyways,glad to see a new article. aAnother X-E adventure I’ll probably never get to experience myself,but I do thank you Matt for showing me what the world has to offer,and that it is cruel.
I wonder if the crab knows he is famous now?

New article? Sweet.

Chestnuts roasted by Retro Playback @ 06/12/2007 11:27 PM

Nuh-uh, you can have up to three. I heard that somewhere.

Chestnuts roasted by K- @ 06/12/2007 11:35 PM

K-, only if the Double Double Wish was for more wishes, then it would work.

This was a great article, Matt! You still got it! (you never lost it in the first place, but still…).

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I laughed at that picture of the Towel Dog for a good 5 minutes.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 06/12/2007 11:41 PM

I was offered a free cruise (let’s not get into details why, it’s a little… odd) but it’s from Florida to the Bahamas and psshhhh I ain’t flying down to Florida just to drink in the middle of the ocean for a few days.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 06/12/2007 11:44 PM

Great article, Matt. I never stop looking for sharks in the ocean either.

Chestnuts roasted by Bill @ 06/12/2007 11:45 PM

I’m the cognizant engineer on a whole bunch of stuff at work. Frankly, I now detest the word “cognizant.” Everything that I’m cognizant of is another pain in the butt.

Down with cognizance!

Chestnuts roasted by spaz307 @ 06/12/2007 11:47 PM

Mystie-I don’t even think it’s a few day cruise from FL to the Bahamas. When I lived there I had a friend who was Bahamian and she’s fly back home often and it only took a few hours.

Chestnuts roasted by MissJess @ 06/12/2007 11:58 PM

Well I was more coming at it from the angle of wishes usually coming in 3s. It of course follows that she would only be allowed 3 if she had 3 posts within that minute.

Something I wouldn’t put past someone who double posted just to say they were going to wish for something.

Q.E.D. :P
