I don't want to know.

Not nice

"They killed children and ate corpses. Was that nice? 'Well, maybe if it was part of their culture...' NO! It's NOT nice! I'm the professor--you have to agree with me! Eating corpses is not nice!"

Overheard in the library

"I had a dream about you last night! You had left and gone to Australia, and you were just going to play tennis forever and ever."

"Australia?"

"Well, I think it was Australia. The postcard you sent looked Outbacky."

--Two middle-aged men who I assume were library staff members

Frowny-faces

A story (paraphrased) that my Old English professor told on one of the first days of class:

"My granddaughter had her first day of kindergarten, and she came home all upset because she almost got a frowny-face on something. And I started thinking...she has eight more years of elementary school and junior high, four years of high school, four years undergrad, and possibly endless years of grad school, if she goes into the Humanities...think of how many thousands of frowny-faces await her!"

One guy's response:

"That's dark and evil!"

But it's true...

snicker

I love how I can search "Unico" and get "New Hot & Sexy Mens Brazilian Thong."

--A friend of mine, on eBay

Socks.

"Old English rocks my socks."

"My mom got me new socks over break! I was so happy."

"The Sox kicked ass last night."

--3 girls in my Old Norse class

Second Coming

"JESUS HAS ALREADY RETURNED! (607) *** - ****"

Sign posted on a light pole near the Ithaca Booksale last week.

FYI--Jesus is apparently alive and well and living in upstate New York. I would have thought he'd choose to come back in a warmer place...maybe one that sees the sun for more than three months out of the year.
