A case of clams

"I would be very worried if I saw a man singing the national anthem
and waving the flag, sir. It's really a thing foreigners do."
-Captian Wrangle of Ankh-Morpork

Apology on a misplaced comment in last night's email: I knew you
dropped band, Noel. I forgot that I knew it though. Meh.

I just experienced something that made me think. I was eating a
handful of Cheerios, when all of a sudden I accidentally dropped one.
I reached down to pick it up (the five seconds hadn't passed yet) and
I ate it. Meanwhile, I had dropped another Cheerio. I picked it up
too, but alas, I dropped another one. I thought, "This could go on
forever. I could be following a trail of Cheerios that doesn't go
anywhere." I was down like a monkey picking up Cheerios.

I'm pretty much all excited for tonight. It doesn't get much better
than DIII on the Smurf Turf. The only downside is that Boise State's
band will be playing at the end. Bah! Boo to them. Their field
shows are always just jokes, and their director is a sick twisted old
man. But I'm excited for the rest of it. I'll be up there in the
stands making noise and wearing my silver and maroon. If I can find
any.

The sunset was pretty good last night, not as cool as the one last
Thursday and Friday though. For those, I was out on a field, about 80
miles from Boise, so there were very few city lights visible. Late at
night, I could still see the glow on the underside of the clouds, but
luckily Boise was to the East, and the sun sets in the West. I have
rarely seen such good shades of orange and pink. Clouds rock.

Today is Dictionary Day. To celebrate, I will list links to as many
online dictionaries as I can find in, let's say... four minutes.
Ready, Go!

Phew. That was intense! I hope you take some time to click at least
one of them. I like dictionaries. Austin can attest that I used to
sit on my bed up in Stover and read his dictionary. He got one free
from the U of I, probably for being smart. I know it was some kind of
prize for some kind of test or whatnot. I wish I had a dictionary. I
used his more than he ever did. It was a Merriam-Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary.

Does anyone want a free Gmail invitation? I have 5 left. How about a
consumer testimonial? "Gmail rocks my socks" by Jase. He even used
a cool phrase.

Speaking of cool phrases, here are the runners up, they all tied for second.

"Your lives that I now spit on are but a caricature of a cartoon drawn
by a kid who is stupid" submitted by Caleb

curiosity of a passing rhinocerous or sparrow." submitted by Julie
"cool beans" submitted by Shalyse
"like a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat" submitted by Shannon

Well done folks, glad you played.

Wava is so cool! Anyone who hasn't met her needs to go for a spin.
Hehe, spin 'em, Jose!

Well, it's been a good unproductive morning for me. I'm off now,
probably won't be around much this afternoon, and for sure I won't be
around this evening, and I don't know when I'll be getting home. Yay!

May all your endeavors be feasible,
Brian
