Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

what are you teaching next?

I'm teaching the entire Fagles translation, so I won't be teaching anything else for a good long while. I'll be teaching Atwood's The Penelopiad as a modern counterpoint once I finish The Odyssey.

Criminals is stupid....

NEW YORK - Two men wheeled a dead man through the streets in an office chair to a check-cashing store Tuesday and tried to cash his Social Security check before being arrested on fraud charges, police said.

David J. Dalaia and James O'Hare pushed Virgilio Cintron's body from the Manhattan apartment that O'Hare and Cintron shared to Pay-O-Matic, about a block away, spokesman Paul Browne said witnesses told police.

"The witnesses saw the two pushing the chair with Cintron flopping from side to side and the two individuals propping him up and keeping him from flopping from side to side," Browne said.

The men left Cintron's body outside the store, went inside and tried to cash his $355 check, Browne said. The store's clerk, who knew Cintron, asked the men where he was, and O'Hare told the clerk they would go and get him, Browne said.

A police detective who was having lunch at a restaurant next to the check-cashing store noticed a crowd forming around Cintron's body, and "it's immediately apparent to him that Cintron is dead," Browne said.

The detective called uniformed New York Police Department officers at a nearby precinct. Emergency medical technicians arrived as O'Hare and Dalaia were preparing to wheel Cintron's body into the check-cashing store, Browne said. Police arrested Dalaia and O'Hare there, he said.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Heathcliff, Rochester, Lydgate

I don't think I know who Lydgate is, but I'm chucking Heathcliff. Is there something stronger than chuck? Shove away in disgust? Defenestrate? Have arrested for being fucking nuts?

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

The whole article is really short, but it's annoying that it focuses on "wife working at whorehouse without husband knowing" and not "husband caught going to whorehouse."
