Wisdom from the refrigerator
April 7th, 2009 by witherow
We have one of those magnetic word kits for our refrigerator. Here are some of the interesting statements that have somehow appeared …
Some day write the money then spring me out late at night
Come hurt the graduate student
Inhale no other smoke smell the one
I like my food loud
This athlete could use more school
Good sciency research borrows my brain
Pizza philosophy can let a jock skip life
Cram paper in roommate
Take all semester to study break dancing
Talk long learn little fail test
Make coffee soon after college
High time to give us a job
Smell every professor and you never need a friend
She too pout
Stay in library and cry
Better call this girl or her sister would hurt you
Blow mind here

Ye Tragical E-maile
April 2nd, 2009 by witherow
First, I want to say that something very exciting is happening to Pumpkins don’t have Ankles … it’s coming soon … it will blow your socks off … or your sandals if you’re not wearing any socks … You’ll see soon.
Some time ago I received the following email from my sister Becky (a.k.a. “the great f”)
BECKY:
Subject: TRAGEDY!!
the coffee grinder stopped working this morning! mid-grind, no less, so i have some half ground beans now. alas! =(
MY RESPONSE:
“Alas and alack!! And art thou gone, noble grinder, yea, and the beans which thou hast ground so sweetly??” –Shakespeare, the Taming of the Shrew
BECKY:
uh… i didn’t know they had coffee grinders in the 1600s.
ME:
“Question not thine eldest sister, for surely she knoweth all things Elizabethan.” –Hamlet, Act 2 scene 1
BECKY:
i think you’re making this stuff up. we all know that willy didn’t like his older sister, and that he would never say something like this.
ME:
“Shall I compare thee to an eldest sister?
Such ladies are lovely and so wise,
So thou hast better watch it, mister,
If thou darest imply otherwise.”
–Shakespeare, Sonnet 18
Thankfully this story had a happy ending, because for my birthday a few days ago, I received not only a new coffee grinder, but a BRAND NEW coffee maker! With a timer!! and a burner that actually keeps the coffee hot!!!
It’s the little, caffeinated things in life …
