Man, once again, I am passed over for a genius grant:

Oh that's right. I need to be a genius. They need to develop a grant for the moderately smart that need a break from the rat race to see if they can develop into genius.

Clearly I meant Pilsner Dignity.

All Czechs are crazy, is the conclusion I've made from my totally non-random sampling of Czechs.

I love the old Bette Midler line: "I married a German boy, a Kraut. Every night I dress up like Poland, and he invades me."

The thing I love about the genius grants is that it alwasy seems like someone I know could win one. Not me though. But that's okay.

All Czechs are crazy, is the conclusion I've made from my totally non-random sampling of Czechs.

The two things I know that the Czechs are famous for are beer and hockey players. There may be a connection here.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

paperdol, good for you for drawing a line. It's hard, but it's necessary.

They just don't have that paprika dignity of the Czechs.

(I'm so using Pilsner dignity from now on.)

We have dignity? Cool. I thought we were just a bunch of deeply individualistic quarrelsome types, with a tendency to throw people out of windows to prove a point.

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

I'm sure it will be offensive, but you are kind of right. It is a country with many crazy people. Their "pilsner dignity" kind of encapsulates the problem right there.

Probably not-- all my classes were in a building on Jungmannova, about midway between Vaclavske nam. and Tesco.

Most of ours were at the FFUK building at Jan Palacha nam. And I think the Tesco was still KMaj.
