That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We did that to a friend of mine in college. Disassembled his VW bug enough to get it into his dorm room and reassembled.

Also put a different small car into the dorm lounge by taking apart part of the wall. Come to think of it, I think there was some wall disassembly for the other one, as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, MIT kids don't fuck around when it comes to pranks.

Totally figured they got those scenes for Real Genius from SOMEWHERE. (Although Mythbusters totally disproved the popcorn theory. The bastards.)

There's a famous story about a car on the roof of a building at Oxford in the 20s. the story only came out officially when the last member of the team passed away.

Okay, totally bad memory. It was Cambridge in the 50s and nobody died, they just finally revealed it at a reunion.

Aw, that first one with the cannon makes me all nostalgic. What a nice homage.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Me too - I'd assumed it was anti-Semitic. But it's not! So I can say it!

Shyster shyster shyster shyster shyster shyster shyster!!!

That one's kind of iffy for some people. It doesn't have antisemitic origins, as far as I know, but it's been used in an antisemitic way often enough that some people will bristle at pretty much any use of it now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got two tickets to see Neil Finn perform at Largo, a 200-seat venue! The show hasn't been publicized yet but I was in the know because I am a member of the Crowded House fan club.

I got the email last night. I am lucky that my husband understands fannish glee, because he didn't bat an eye when I suddenly started hyperventilating and waving my hands about while saying "He's coming to town! We have to go see him!" J, bless him, just said "Who?" and when I explained said, "Oh, THAT him" and got right on the phone to order tickets.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ooh, good stuff. I have a recording of him doing an acoustic version of Billie Jean. It's quite good.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Lucky Scrappy!

Cal Tech had, like, volumes devoted to pranking. When we all met up first break after going away to college, my friend Jeff brought some up to share with us.

Evergreen didn't do pranks so much. I mean, we had no grades, our motto and fight song were all about the Latin double entendres, and our mascot was the geoduck.

Sort of takes the fun right out of things.
