Honk if you love cookies!

Have you ever been so stoned that you crashed your car into a tree? Then did you get out of your car and see there wasn't actually any damage from the accident—not so much as a scratch on your bumper? Then did you notice that there also wasn't any tree? When you were finally able to calm down and get back in your car to drive away, were you embarrassed to realize that all along it was the air freshener hanging from your rearview mirror?

Me neither.*

A few things...

Lots of fun this last weekend, traveling in pretty much every direction for a bevy of cookouts and parties. Good to see everyone, and to eat copious amounts of foodstuffs gratis.

I got a call this morning from one of the temp agencies with a possible employment opportunity, so I'm pretty much just sitting here next to the phone waiting for a call.






There's also this nice bit from the MentalFloss blog: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15303
I wonder if 'Hachiko' was the inspiration for the most heroic dog ever, Seymour Asses.

Makes me tear up just thinking about it.

Finally, John Warner on McSweeneys has provided the following advice on getting the most important response from your students: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2008/5/15warner.html
