Blue Flu

While sitting at my desk, trying to get some semblance of work done, The Wife called. She was hanging out at Peaberry's with Laurita and my mon-in-law. Anyway, The Wife called and asked if I knew the name of the "Sleeping Smurf." I drew a blank. I rushed to Google and Wikipedia, but it ended up that she figured out the answer herself. (Lazy Smurf)

I realized that I know a lot of geeky things. I have a ton of junk information in my head. That area could be used to come up with a cure for cancer or something. Instead I can name members of the "Legion of Super-Heroes." I discovered that I do have a deficiency. I know nothing about the Smurfs. I never watched them. I know they are blue and that there is some wizard called Gargamel. Otherwise, nothing. So if I ever get on Jeopardy, you know I'll never pick the Smurf category.
