I've said no twice, and he emailed a third time.
Tell him his grade goes down a third of a letter grade with every succeeding email.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
After all the talk about the blanket, I read "I replaced the eggplant with cut up yam" as "I replaced the eggplant with cut-up yarn" ... which gave me pause.

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

Ha! I may not be a great cook, but I am EASILY able to distinguish edible from inedible items.

Hee. This reminds me that I was trying to explain the difference between plastic and rubber to a coworker when she was expressing some concerns about chewing gum, even the organic kind. (And who knew there was organic chewing gum?)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Years ago the paper had an article by a young woman who'd been hearing co-workers rhapsodizing about tiramisu. She came across a recipe and made it. It didn't look as appetizing as she thought it should; her mother said maybe she'd try it later; her father flat-out refused.
Turned out that when the recipe called for "lady fingers" she assumed they meant what people in her area of India called "lady fingers". Okra.
Edible, but not quite what was intended.

Oh man, that's almost as bad as Rachel's beef truffle on Friends.

hope she didn't make it before she caught the misunderstanding. Like Rachel with the British cookbook stuck together.
