Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My sister had her first ever school lockdown yesterday because of this: [link]
I'm not making light of the incident, but the photo (and caption) with the article made me laugh. "A car people said was involved in...." Like, the newspaper doesn't even have official word that that was really the car where the woman was attacked, so they just took a picture of a car that Larry the Counter Clerk said that his cousin's dogwalker's niece said was the car....
Bodie
Also, son of Edward James Olmos.
Wow- That is way more Bodie's than I have ever heard of! Interesting.
That's right.
It's like the Fay Internet Effect, without the internet!
Bode Miller - I had always assumed it was a last name, given as a first.
Like we have Murray LastNames in our family - where Murray had been a mother or grandmother's maiden name.
OMGWTFBBQ. I apparently am incapable of writing a scholarly personal statement. I used to be able to write them, but now? Not so much. I'm applying to a NEH summer session on Chaucer to spend a month in England, and I have to write about why these amazing Chaucerian scholars should pick me over other teachers. I cannot stop writing in cliches. It's utterly pathetic.
whan in summere i wisshe to gaen aboute Oxforde-towne...
seriously. we could help. I bet it would be unique...
"I, Kristin, am totally scholarly and stuff. Jeff Chaucer and I were like this...well, you can't see, but I'm totally crossing my fingers in a manner to depict closeness of peoples...and we would often discuss all kinds of scholarly things like how to sell fart jokes as Highbrow Literature.
He was a gas.
Get it?
Anywho...you should totally pick me for your scholarly thingie because I like Jeff and can discuss fart jokes as Highbrow Literature without laughing...too much.
Maybe a giggle. But certainly not a snort or a guffaw.
See how I used the word 'guffaw'? Scholarly.
Pick me for my braininess and scholarosityness.
Smooches,
Kristin."
There was nothing "fashion" about those boots, Lori.
Did I tell you people about the one-act I saw the other week that had Justice (blindfolded lady, holding scales and sword) being killed in a modern office, to be replaced by Dick Cheney? It was horror, obviously.
