More funny signs

And they're SPECTACULAR.

Please turn your head and coffee

Alas, poor predictable quote...

Guess who's gonna live forever???

The health benefits of coffee are extolled in this NY Daily News article, and for once, this monument to journalistic integrity did not include a picture of a woman in a "dress" that is really a shirt.

Also, in the article, they reference a scientist named Dr. Frank Hu.  And frankly (heh), "Frank Hu" sounds like a sanitized version of an expletive-themed tell-off.  Y'know, the kind they use when they show Glengarry Glen Ross on network television.

Read and raise a cup to longevity.

It's so problematic.

So back in my women's (womyn's?) college days, my girlfriends (womynfriends?) and I  use to joke around about Barnard humor - it involved calling everything "problematic" (especially the term "woman") and going around saying, "What is this - Ibsen?!" because this is crap we'd overhear on the quad, in the classroom, etc. and dammit, if women's college students who take everything too seriously and/or incredulously reference Dutch playwrights aren't funny, then I don't know what is.

And today, Jezebel posted this.

And we all thought of each other.  It's like going home again.

And clearly I'm a bad feminist, what with the drowning my sorrows in my chemical dependency and all.

Ew.

Saw this at the deli over near the Pelham Pkwy stop on the 2 train.

And I immediately thought:

Good.  There hasn't been nearly enough Vitamin R in my diet.

Take that, Tom Cruise

Yet somehow, "Ta" is.  

Monkey Butt

One of the many reasons you need the friends who knew you before you had braces:  

What now?

Because they are the friends that will send you links to a story about a guy who licked a monkey's butt.  Tony sent this my way in an email with no subject and no text except the link.  Because really, are there any words that adequately describe it?  I think not.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day

To my dad, coworkers, and friends.  To all teachers, past and present.  Here's hoping today you felt a little appreciation today from those who count.

(One of my juniors gave me a travel coffee mug and a journal.  I'm gonna fill one with coffee and one with words.  Better be careful not to mix 'em up.)
