Thank You, Homer

Wednesday, September 3, 2003

• TITLE: "Thank you, Homer" I think I've shared this with you before, but I've seen maybe three Simpsons cartoons in my whole life.
  
  
  One of them had Homer J. Simpson going into a gun store named "Blood Bath and Beyond" and asking for a pistol. Upon being told there was a three-day waiting period he said, "Three days? But I'm mad now!"

• "� CBS Poll �" Here's the link to the CBS News Poll about which we care so little.

• "� iambic �" From Merriam-Webster's Unabridged:

  A metrical foot of two syllables unstressed and stressed respectively (as in above, invent, and Tennyson's 4-foot line "he watches from his mountain walls") or short and long respectively.

  By the way, a trochee is the opposite of an iamb: A stressed syllable followed by an unstressed.

• Mullfoto of the Day:
  
  
  At least on the campus of Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio 45750 there does not appear to be a rush to be on the Dean Team.

  Of course, at a college the Dean's team means something entirely different.
