Dealing with a vacation hangover via TV and Facebook

On Sunday I lounged around in my complementary Disneyland Hotel robe staring at the television screen trying to cure myself of my vacation hangover. If you have ever been on a vacation in which you do lots of walking and are over-stimulated for the duration of the trip, you know how hard these hangovers are to cure.

I spent most of the day watching Sons of Anarchy, quite possibly the dumbest television show ever filmed. It involves the mad capped cappers of a group of Motorcycle gang members too lewd to be lovable and too sappy to take seriously. As much as I dislike the show, I couldn't shake myself from my vacation-coma so there I sat, episode after episode, a little dab of drool dangling from my jowls.

In between episodes, to keep my mind somewhat limber, I would check in on Facebook to see if my family and friends where spending their day in a more production fashion than myself (in a word, no.) Among the postings on Facebook were scads of quizzes to be clicked upon to find out the answers to some of the more important questions life has asked.

The first quiz results -- following about 10 middle of the road questions -- let me know that I am indeed Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy (Bones) from the TV series Star Trek.

The second quiz, taken about an hour later, let me know that I will perish on August 18, 2054 after I am devoured by Zombies (news to me as I always figured I would be trampled to death by a heard of upset unicorns.)

The following quiz told me that my Disney doppelganger is the Genie from Aladdin, that the actor who would play my father in a movie is Tom Hanks and that in 50 years, according to the high-tech picture analyzer on the website called wescamyou.com, I will look like Walter Matthau when I am 94.

Was the day a complete waste?

No doubt.

Is the vacation hangover un-hung?

Almost.

Is any of this information interesting to any of you?

Doubtful.

Have I filled this column?

10-4.

Thanks for reading and Aloha.
