A little spooky

This morning, a blog I follow featured a post from a fellow who worked for fifteen years at the old (rumored-to-be-haunted) Utah State Hospital. I want to recommend it to you as a great Halloween read. If you feel so inclined, you can find it here.

Now just who do you think you're fooling?

I really regret giving this particular company any more attention, so I apologize in advance for the question I'm about to ask you. But--

Have you seen this American Apparel Ad?

DISCO PANT: There's a reason why these are our most popular pant.

Everyone--and we mean everyone--looks amazing in them.

Really? Everyone?

Because I can think of about a zillion people who would not look amazing in this pant. Roseanne Barr. Manny Ramirez. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

And that's just my short list.

I like singing while I'm sick

It's my best hope of sounding like Janis Joplin--short of chain smoking.

I wish I was a big, black man.

I think my students would pay a lot more attention.

Today I read one of the best news stories in recent memory.

Frugal Geri Halliwell recycles seven-year-old vintage dress... but at least she can still get into it

In addition to the clever headline, this brilliantly crafted piece features a bevy of priceless collectible gems like this one:

In contrast to her modest cleavage seven years ago, the halterneck dress struggled to contain her ample décolletage last night.

Ms. Halliwell may have the gall to put her clothes on a seven year rotation--but, don't worry, she's not getting away with it!

Meanwhile, today I'm only mildly (read not-at-all) concerned that my eighth graders will notice these are the same pants I wore yesterday.
