St. Louis weather is stupidcrazy. Yesterday it was 70; today, with wind chill, it’s to be 8.

Speaking of things that don’t make enough sense:
Tonight-7:30pm-Brown 100-Suspicious of Whistlers-free.

So I had a bad dream the night before my Latin presentation on Suetonius, and I though about asking my professor for an extension in response to this bad omen. But then I thought to myself, what would Suetonius do? Why, he’d ask Pliny what to do! And sure enough Pliny has a letter in which he responds to Suetonius’s fears, and pointing out it might be a good omen, and the same thing once happened to him, and he’ll argue the case if he wants. And then offers the extension.

Not me. I can give a 20 minute presentation in 15 minutes.

"Everything women say is significant on some other level- and often strategically diabolical- whereas nothing men say has any meaning at all beyond the actual words. This is the cause of many if not most of all male-female strife."

Thinking of.

Team Romanian Poncho had a bonus about recurring female Star Trek characters, which I tuned out, since among other reasons I only knew one. And it was Her. And I would have been correct.
Somehow this hurts more than the 4-8 loss with a personally dismal performance.

No, Illinois: If I want to eat thick slabs of Italian food with a knife and fork, I’ll order lasagna.

Relationship Squeeze Theorem

     lim         relationship = 0
(t-> 2/14-)

As Valentine’s Day is approached, the more something in a relationship becomes nothing.
Also: something > goldfish > nothing.
Therefore, as it gets closer to Valentine’s Day, something becomes nothing, and thus the relationship becomes equal to a goldfish.
By definition of goldfish, another’s presence is insignificant, and you are playing with yourself.
Therefore, you better get her a Valentine’s Day gift, dearie QED.

I'd never been poked before now. Yet after abstaining from poking for so long, I feel I have to ask myself... was it a little anticlimatic? I mean, all that buildup, and you always hear people talking about getting poked, and it's all over the facebook, and it seems like everybody's doing it. But, well, I guess I never found that special someone to be poked by. But even if it does feel a little meaningless, I'll always remember and treasure my first poke. I hope it was as special for you as it was for me.

But, I mean, we can definitely poke each other again sometime if you want. Call me.

[Uh, that's it? That's your idea of a poke? Oh-kay. Sorry, dearie, but I've had much better.]

Threptoi; because even in a 400-level Latin class it is sometimes necessary to make dead baby jokes.

“You can’t be prompted on “Pride”.”

Team Devastatingly Hip, having traveled to Chicago prepared to potentially not win a single game at the ACF tournament, managed to go 4-9 to tie for 7th. And we had fun. And made good time on the trip back. And didn’t get a ticket. And might have left the buzzers in the car. <pats back condescendingly>

JFK or RFK?
“RFK. We didn't get a chance to see what he was going to do.”
Or who.

By the time one discovers the Gobstopper is hollow, it is too late to do anything meaningful regarding it.

Plus 6 more weeks of winter, though I’m not sure how to count 1 weekend in Chicago; allegedly there will be snow.

To WUPD, “very important” translates to “a loose bike lock”.

“Nobody is more important than this conversation. Nobody is definitely more important than the Orbit Gum girl, though.”
Ergo the Orbit Gum girl is a ham sandwich QED.
“(a+b^n)/n = x, therefore Nobody is more important than her.”

Nobody is featured in an important StudLife article! [p.10]

But if God doesn't exist, the above does not hold. So I have a decision to make: Him, Her, or Nobody?
“Her, obviously.”
Obviously.
“Obviously. Obviously.. Obviously... obviously?”
Careful there; you're straying into clearly territory.
“Obviously!”

Please tell everyone your name, where you’re from, your favorite color, and how you would contract AIDS.

Nobody needs a better introduction. I desperately need to update the Nobody facebook page ASAP. Please send me clever ideas for stuff I can put for personal info, courses, groups, etc.

“I wish to protest bonus 6; I liked “The Island”.”

"Let me get the tournament director. Oh wait. That's me."


Kine, being a plural sharing no letters with its singular form, *is* linguistically unusual. This British battleground *did* serve as the working title for Tom Clancy’s “The Sum of All Fears”. Jim Carrey’s character in the French Canadian version of “Batman Forever” *is* instead referred to as this, not The Riddler. However, it *is* also known for certain criminals who wielded a different kind of projectile weapon.

“I heard she was going to slap me.”
I heard something more... fatal.

“It's not supposed to be random; it’s supposed to be randomized.”

Nobody can be so trivial.

“I think I just messed up my interview.”
I can take your mind off of that, if you’d like.
“Sure."
Over winter break, I
[...].
“Wow. <pause> Yeah, that’ll do it.”

Nobody saw that coming. I need material ASAP for the facebook profile: personal info, courses, groups, etc.- *anything*.
