Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Band-aids for some, tiny American flags for others?

Niiice.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And not just that donuts are bad for you - six donuts at once are bad for you. Who knew?

Pfft. *I* knew.

That's why *I* stop at 5 donuts.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have a sudden craving for donuts.

Sadly, the only donuts nearby are in the vending machine, and have been there for a while. I'm thinking they probably qualify for the quote marks of irony by now.

So, no donuts. Instead, I'll get my daily ration of bad-for-you-food by eating tuna. You know, mercury used to be considered good for the skin. Let's not diss the old ways.

Good luck, xnera.

OC fans in NorCal, Peter Gallagher will be at UC Berkeley presenting the Sandy Cohen Fellowship on Friday, May 6th. I don't see it on the web site, but flyers are posted all over.

Perkins yelled at me when I didn't give a heads up the first time he showed up to do this.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We had a bus driver with a silence system. When the overhead lights went on, it was time to be silent.

She did not like noisy kids At All. Got really scary one day when she decided to turn the bus around and go back to the school. IIRC, several kids were kicked off the bus. Some parts of her route being 15 miles from the school.

My brother, who had the same bus driver at the time (but a different schedule, because we were in different buildings) later told us that the kids were told that the bus had broken down.

I can't even.

Huh. I love this remark: "Unfortunately I didn't see any lego pizzas so I guess it's not too realistic."

What is even happening?

The The Boston Globe [link] has an interesting interview with a Philosopher of Science, Michael Ruse. In part, it says:

He is both a staunch supporter of evolution and an ardent critic of scientists who he thinks have hurt the cause by habitually stepping outside the bounds of science into social theory.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Luck to you, xnera.

Everything I own is covered in cat hair. I am such a walking fashion plate.

Michael Ruse

I understand his point, but on the other hand I hate to criticize scientists for expressing opinions. I would be critical of attempting to portray philosophy as science, but I don't know enough about the works he talks about to know if that is the case.
