I didn't know Methodists did that
Higher education
Today was my first day of my Spanish class at the local community college. The instructor told us that we should not come to class borracho or marijuanado or on a bad acid trip. Not only is it disruptive, but breaking up the resultant fistfights is a bore.
They might be gods
I was at a gardening job yesterday. The cat of the house watched me while I was digging up a flowerbed and moving the plants to new places. In all likelihood he was thinking, "Thank you, worshipper, for fluffing the holy toilet."
These days
I don't find there is a great deal to get jubilant about these days. I'm not a manic-depressive, just a realist.
--Morrissey
I need an explanation
of why I thought this post on my local freecycle list was funny. Wanted: small stumps. The other day an "expecting" parent requested baby clothes as well.
I set myself up
I complained to my dad:
I thought one of the things community colleges were supposed to be able to do is work with people who have a variety of educational backgrounds.
Trashing religion at every turn
Once again, I do not discriminate.
Understatement
I was looking through the catalog for the local community college. They're offering a class through the sociology dept. called "Death: the Inevitable Crisis."
Sharpen your pencil
and start on your Christmas list with Crossing Over.
Zucchini out my ears
This spring someone gave me a zucchini plant. I killed it right away by neglecting it. Technically, the slugs ate it, but it was my fault. I felt bad about my lazy ways for a while, but now I don't. I've gotten about half a ton of zucchini this year, from neighbors and in my CSA boxes. This morning I was visiting some friends and they offered me carrots from their garden. When I got home and looked in the bag, I saw they had sneaked four zucchini into the bag. Gardeners are getting desperate.
Just because it's Friday
and I want to scare you
.
What is it good for?
Latin. Nothing, and that's a good thing.
I attest to your gray matter
Want to read about consciousness?
Religion & Lit
One of my favorite classes in college, along with Mythology, Plato, Homer, and Thucydides (I was confused for a minute there!), was called something like the Bible as Literature. I took the class on a whim, but it provided great grounding for a lot of reading and thinking. Here is something good to read about religion and literature and what the hell is a lib arts ed, anyway?
Typo of the day
Someone wrote me a note, then wrote me a second note apologizing for the first one. "Sorry about the speeling!"
Oops!
How to stimulate kids' brains? Throw money at an idea that later turns out to be, well, just an idea. Like the "Mozart effect."
New trend?
We went out for pizza last night. Another family in the restaurant ordered their pizza "well-done."
Save our schools
HEY, click on my new button. Over there. On the left.
And now for something completely offensive
Ship of Fools, a very funny website that you should visit if you haven't yet, has been running a contest to come up with the ten most offensive religious jokes. You can read some of them here.
The inspiration for the contest is yet-again proposed legislation in Britain which "seeks to outlaw remarks and publications considered likely to stir up hatred against a religious group." Ship of Fools editorializes:
Don't know much about TV
but when I read about Bikini Bucks on Laurey Chancey's blog, I had to check it out.
Test results show
God used steroids to create earth in six days.
Something's missing
Scary spam: "Go away large thighs!" Large or small, if my thighs went away I think I'd be in real trouble.
Stranger things have happened
Just how did I get on the mailing list for the Hoover Institution newsletter?
Typo of the day
"She had treated him abdominally." And she wasn't even a doctor.
Reminds me of "intesticles."
Let's get down to what is really real
The Church of Reality.
Interesting idea, but how do you "believe in" reality? Reality is just what it is. I think, anyway. And if you create a "church of reality," will your reality become the unreal? Because it seems to me that that's what religions do. Love the letter "R" with the halo. Very Sesame Street.
I found that here. Not Sesame Street, the Church of Reality.
Overdoing things a bit
A woman sitting an exam at Moscow State University turned out to be a man. He was caught because his "especially outstanding feminine features," drew the attention of the security staff, who thought he might have notes hidden in there. I guess he was like those junior high boys who dress up as women for Halloween, stuffing the biggest bras on the planet.
Bumper sticker
I saw today:
Yes, this is my truck.
No, I won't help you move.
