Is that a burrito in your pocket or …

Friday, April 29, 2005

A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

Cheaters, Inc.

Monday, November 26, 2001

The people at hemingwaypapers.com claim to have “nearly one hundred different essays” for sale. The site is allegedly a resource for research, but it smells more like plaigarism to me. At $8.95 / page you would probably be better served by doing all the work on your own. Trust me, students, your Hemingway professor has likely read all of the essays “for sale” on the internet, including the ones here. Read them in order to learn other students’ opinions and thoughts and reactions, not to copy.

<blab>Have I mentioned that I will soon be 27? Because that is freaking me way-the-hell-out the more I think about it. I was running past a high school today and there were all these high school kids running track. I was running. They were running. I am seriously not in high school any more. I don’t think I look like I’m - gak! - a grown-up. Did I tell you I was recently mistaken (albeit by a moron) for a college freshman? But I also know that in the end and down deep I am quickly becoming o l d … I don’t think I like it. The alternative sucks, to be sure, but I wish it didn’t have to happen so damn quickly.</blab>

I was born in Pawtucket, RI … when I was kid at St. Paul’s elementary school in Daytona Beach, FL, I used to always feel a special connection to Jesus because I, too, had been INRI … Wow! I thought I was the only one who ever thought that …
