A super easy way to keep up with your old pal Katy is to subscribe to my newsletter!
I just read a story on cnn.com about the Croatian government’s reaction to discovering sugar packets in some cafes with Adolf Hitler’s face and Holocaust jokes printed on them. This is completely appalling, especially considering Croatia’s past ties to Naziism. Sometimes words fail me, and all I can think of is: PEOPLE SUCK.
But it did remind me of something I’d completely forgotten about: when I was in high school, my friends and I would write things on sugar packets when we were out at restaurants, and then replace them in the container on the table. I don’t remember anything specifically that we wrote, but it would be things that we thought were funny, or clever, or cryptic. Jokes, weird phrases, or good fortunes. We wanted the next person to find that sugar packet to be either pleased, or confused, or both.
thats funny. i used to do something similar. i used to have penchant for haiku (relating mostly to my everyday experience, i.e. graduate school http://www.math.ttu.edu/~rmccorma/haiku.html)
long story short, i used to leave haiku on sugar packets.
oh by the way, i am a huge nerd, in case you didn’t realize. š
Being one myself, I tend to know my type and actually, I think you’re a geek, not a nerd. No offense and all, but writing 400 words on the result of e ^i*pi kinda tipped me off.
Katy on the other hand is really just too cool for qualification.

Am I geek or nerd?
Ah, the eternal question
It’s such a fine line.

must have been this stuff
Bob: A tendency for nerdy graffiti must run in our family. Can I post some of your haiku here? The few that I understand are pretty funny! You know, so you and Brett and my other two readers can read them. š
Brett: HA! I can’t believe that you read the post about me and your wife drowning bugs in cinnamon oil, and it didn’t confirm any nerdy suspicions you might have had… I’m glad I have you fooled (or should that be “flimflammed”).
indeed. post away.
