"That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! Do you have any idea what this will do to my credit!"
Three-day weekends (who doesn't like that???)
Quick, tie a string around your index finger. 
My initial thought after reading the first few chapters was "Hey, they should make a movie out of this.""Langdon had no idea how they were going to figure out the secret combination. Then suddenly it came to him. The combination was his social security number in reverse."See what I mean? I dunno, just seems a bit too easy to me.
Okay, I'm about a month slow in finding this story (thanks Andrew at J4TR), but I still wanted to ask this question:
It seems Axl Rose, the sole remaining original member of Guns N' Roses, got his ass kicked by fashion force Tommy Hilfiger in a New York nightclub last weekend."...the combatants have been at odds since Rose started dating Diane O'Connor, the ex-wife of Hilfiger's adopted brother, denim designer Michael H.Rose tried to laugh off the incident. But if I were him, I'd be super embarrassed at getting the beat down from glorified tailor. What could be worse than being Tommy' Hilfiger's bitch?
One source even went so far as to claim that the Hilfiger brothers had made a "pact" to pummel Rose on sight."
As Frank Barone would say, "Holy CRAP!!"
"It began an uncompromising, fundamental conceptual strategy that was radical vis-a-vis all the other architects who approached the project. And it was supported by the trustees and the director of the museum not to be compromised in the process.The design is being featured in an exposition in Japan called "Luminosity/Porosity"
All those things in place, that's very hard to get that to happen in your life. So it's a special chance, this building. It's a very special chance and plays a special part in my work."

"When I first came to K-State I saw an article feature Dr. Suleiman on the front page of the student newspaper. I immediately called him and he agreed to meet with me the next day.So what does this mean? Does it mean that there is no racism in Kansas? No. There is racism everywhere (although I think much of it is in the eye of the beholder).
"We started a conversation and eventually came to the topic of racism and prejudice. He told me "Because you are an Arab American, you will encounter racism. But, you will never encounter racism or prejudice here at KSU."
"And he was right. I never have."

I know it's early (6 o'clock in the morning where I am), but I want to raise my Friday drinking glass to those who have submitted posts through the Blog Carnival submit link for Monday's KGB roundup.Hey Emaw:No, thank you Joel for participating. And thanks to everyone else who submits and reads posts.
Thanks for the work you do with KGB. Speaking only for myself, I feel like it's helped create and strengthen whatever strands of community exist among Kansas bloggers. And I'm grateful to have been mentioned, because it gets my stuff seen outside Lawrence. (That's ego-driven, I know, but I can't help myself.)
You do good work. Thanks again.
The passage of the recent Kansas state law enacting a minimum age for marriage has been a blogger gold mine.
I was on a message board the other day, discussing the possibilities of a mid-term Democratic landslide in the upcoming elections."How the hell did Kerry lose? How could ANYONE have lost against Bush?"My answer was thus:
"The Dems lost last time because they ran on an "Anyone but Bush" platform. They have a golden opportunity with the upcoming elections. What I worry about is that they will again focus on personality and blame instead of proposing solutions.I bring this up, because it looks like at least a segment of the liberal voters are already losing focus.
Wrong message: "Those guys screwed up the country, vote for me."
Right message: "Let's reign in spending and do (fill in the blank) in Iraq. Vote for me."
State tourism officials said legal issues led them to scrap the latest slogan, explaining that West Virginia and other states previously used "Come See For Yourself."Some people might see this as a boondoggle, but I see it as something the state could capitalize on. Why not incorporate this third stab at a slogan into the slogan itself.
As the saying goes, it's funny because it's true.What? You expected something educational from me?Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.
Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
Recently a construction company left a pair of these signs in my neighborhood, blasting out their pointless messages. Being a creative tinkerer, I decided to do something about it.And a special thanks to Andrew at Just for the Record for mining this gold.
Yesterday, millions of illegal immigrants walked off of their illegal jobs and out of their illegal schools to prove that they are willing and able to work in America, improve themselves, and chase the American dream.The rallies shut down 29 branches of Chipotle Mexican Grill, a Denver-based fast-casual dining chain. Goya Foods, which bills itself as the nation's largest Hispanic-owned food chain, suspended delivery everywhere except Florida in what the company called a gesture of solidarity.As you may have guessed, I'm not a supporter of illegal immigrants ditching school and their jobs. I think it sends the wrong message. It doesn't really say they want to be American citizens, it says they want to be illegal immigrants with benefits.
This incident made me think of something my dad used to tell me. My dad is a very wise man, wiser than I could ever hope to be. And he tried to share this wisdom with me and my siblings as we were growing up."Some will skip work, others will protest at lunch breaks, school walkouts or at rallies after work."Skipping work and school? If they not careful, these "illegal immigrants and their allies' are going to give Latino people a reputation for being lazy.
