There was another terrible quote from that book on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend, too.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Grrr...
Why must cow-orkers forward me e-mails based on an urban legend so well know that it has, in fact appeared in the movie 'Urban Legends'. I was to send everyone a snopes email, but it is probably bad form as this person is my superior. But really, it is the one about a man getting into the backseat of ones car while filling up gas, as part of a gang initiation.

Sophia,
send the snopes link to your superior only.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I want to start a gang and USE all those Snopes things. It would totally fuck with people.

I have to remember to shop at Lord & Taylor more often, it is so nice and quiet in there. It makes me feel like a semi-wealthy little old lady out for the day.

You know what I love? An email from my boss that says, "We really need to get X, Y, and Z finished." And this is the first I'm hearing about X, Y, OR Z. @@

OMG, Lord & Taylor in the middle of a workday is the BEST. I got the best customer service in my life there.
Also, where would a person buy a little apron? I didn't see any at the costume place. I'm thinking I could put accessories over my current clothes to do 50s housewife, tying Halloween into my homework.

Honestly, listening to my friends who are also full-time students but have much more "real" jobs, I'm glad to be here where I don't give a shit. At least I'm not overly burdened with stuff to do.

Le nubian-- I will do that.
I mean really-- do we need to go around scaring the crap out of people. I understand being cautious, and some of the guidelines in the email (like being aware of your surroundings) make sense, but I feel that things like this just lead to people leading panicky lives. it is the same damned thing as the bird flu-- it is all over the news scaring the crap out of people-- they are all calling into wear I work (we give flu shots) looking for the "bird flu vaccine". Now there are about 30 billion other, much more probable, ways that these people could get sick and die-- but they are now just focused on the "bird flu".
