Speaking of poor communications skills, I was forwarded this email this morning, with the body "Please advise":
Raven:
Do you all have updated numbers for the following statement:
a Rhodes Scholar, A Truman Scholar, six Fulbright Scholars and nine Pickering Fellows.
I think there are more but I am not sure what the real numbers are.
Thanks much, Mary
Honey, I can't answer your question, because I don't know what the fuck you are asking for. Asking me if "a Rhodes Scholar, A Truman Scholar, six Fulbright Scholars and nine Pickering Fellows." is correct makes no fucking sense, because I don't know what the context is!!!
So, I politely emailed back asking for the context of the phrase @@
This weekend I'm going to attempt dropping off my drycleaning, washing my car, and tidying my room.
I'm not particularly optimistic.
Oh, and I need to iron.
Vortex, she is asking how many of them would walk into a bar.
Today I get a haircut! I hope it's good.
Me too! Try telling the stylist, "Give me one of those good haircuts, not the other kind."
honey smacks:
How rad are these shoes? I think I actually need to find out if I can walk in them, if they're reasonably priced.
If a Rhodes Scholar, A Truman Scholar, six Fulbright Scholars and nine Pickering Fellows all walked into a bar, how much would the resulting tab be? Bonus points if you can say who gets stuck with it.

So now that I am OBSESSED with "Slings & Arrows" I'm checking out the Stratford Festival (which New Burbage HAS to be based on and also? Go me for saying, "Hey! Wasn't Burbage an actor with The King's Men?")
Aims, during the emergency trip up to Canada, I made M take me over to Stratford (his hometown is only an hour away). There are a lot of swans. We didn't get to see any plays, but we did have lunch in a nearby pub and I did buy some really awesome books on Shakespeare.
This weekend I'm having a huge bonfire in the backyard continuing to pack before moving. That's about it, actually. I may have to add drinking heavily in there.
Do you all have updated numbers for the following statement: a Rhodes Scholar, A Truman Scholar, six Fulbright Scholars and nine Pickering Fellows.
Wouldn't she be asking how many your school produced in some time frame? I'm always getting fundraising stuff with those numbers from my undergrad.
Today's xkcd made me laugh (be sure to check the mouseover text)....
