I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Still, she's not as bad as Emeril.

Oh, she's worse. When he's not in front of a live audience, Emeril can at least cook some damn good food. Rachel Ray's only talent is perkiness.

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

Say your alma mater announces that they've put together an alumni directory, and they're going to publish your last known address and e-mail, and it would only be available to other alumni. If you want out, you have to opt-out... after the directory is published. Are you OK with that, or would your privacy-dar explode from overuse?

I would be thoroughly pissed off. To the extent that I would stop paying my alumni association dues and tell them exactly why.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did the alumni see any sort of privacy agreement before they gave over their information?

The polite answer is opt out before publishing. I would be very angry (though without recourse, depending on a pre-existing privacy agreement I'd accepted) if they did that to me, becaue there are alumni I very definitely don't want to be able to get in touch with me. One in particular, a CSV of whose addressbook popped up on the web last time I did a vanity Google. Luckily the e-mail address was near ten years old, but still.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've never given my address to the alumni assoc. and yet they always seem to find me.

And Rachael Ray's voice is nails on the chalkboard for me. Ugh.

The cake is gone. Which is good, because I was going to snap.

And bad because ... no free cake!

We really need to have people from alumni associations looking for Bin Laden.

Silence means security silence means approval

I can't stand Rachael Ray.

Her mouth scares me. I keep expecting her to unhinge her jaw and swallow someone.

Still, she's not as bad as Emeril.

Oh, Emeril is harmless. Annabel likes him. It's Bobby Flay who should be shot.
