Somewhere between copper and cobalt

Who wants to complain about the look of the new nickel? Who wants to complain about the cost of developing an new one every year? Who wants to complain about more connections between the US Mint and the Masons?

Not me. There are Halloween costumes that need designing.

I'm not going to be able to spend these things. I'll just stand in front of the vending machine trying to avoid TJ's disappointing glare.

"I know! The whole tree-liberty/blood-tyrants thing! I voted 6 years ago, that's not good enough for you anymore? Your agrarian ideals are unreasonable for my lifestyle! Stop staring at me!"



Plus it looks it disturbingly like my mother. And UVA sucks.

Those new nickels are a mess. When I first saw one, I thought it was foreign currency.

ooh ooh -- i need a good halloween costume, internet peoples! what if i hire y'all as costume consultants, except for free?

and UVA doesn't suck, so much as they're just too young as an institution to know any better. however, i'm pretty sure rcr and dceiver will have soemthing to say on the topic.

Ahem, I think I have a little something to say about UVA totally not sucking as well, Lance. But whatevs.

i am the queen of halloween costumes. except, of course, for the small fact that I currently don't have one for myself this year. which is sad.

Anyone who wants to go as Bjork circa 2001, hit me up. I have an elaborately constructed swan dress you can borrow.

Ethan Wiggum said...

i don't think i have the legs to pull the swan dress off. hair, yes; legs, no.

I might have to finally take T's idea and go as a Lobster Cowboy!

"UVA sucks."

A compelling indictment indeed. I could make the case for UVa, but I'm too busy doing very important things. Suffice it to say that my argument, unlike yours, would not fit neatly on a tshirt.

I said "Good day" sir.

The Governess said...

HE SAID GOOD DAY.

N., you've hit a sore spot with your little inside joke.

Perhaps you wish to change yr tone, offer apologies to wahoos worldwide. unless you have something more very important to do.

I was unaware you could get something so indecorous stitched onto a shirt.
Perhaps I will wear one in two weeks while I sit in the alumni section at
Scott Stadium. Though, it seems the irony may be missed by many.
