how to excel in spreadsheeting without really trying

(for Bloomsbury):

Faced with the most recent blog prompt, I was unsure how best to go about answering the question "How do you feel a three-toed box turtle works best as a metaphor in a film?" After a few moments of thought, a cookie, and some tea with possible hallucinogenic qualities, I decided to tackle this conundrum the best way I know how: with a variation on the scientific method I like to call "compare and contrast". I thought the best way to express my findings would be through a spreadsheet, so I created one. I wasn't quite sure how best to provide access to said spreadsheet, though, so there are two options.

Option #1, just click here and it should pop up.

Option #2 is a google shared spreadsheet which should be available to everyone...and should be easier to read. Click here.

There was a lot of competition, not the least of which came from the likes of Dracula:


the environment:


space robots:


and consumerism:


However, in the end, the two best things that a three-toed box turtle would most correctly represent in a film were:

1. Me
2. A bear

Who can argue with science?


Who's to say what Woody Allen would have chosen had it come down to it? Congratulations to all of our competitors, especially Ralph Macchio, who only really lost to me because his tangential relationship to ninjas cost him a category or two (despite the fact that he's at least twice as big as I am, apparently):
