April 18, 2006--Have you missed me?

1. Well--it's been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry--I got Australian Bronchitis and also have been really busy lest you think I have ceased to prolifically ponder pretty priceless passing points. Have no fear!
2. So I was at the Mav one morning and saw one of those goth friends with hair over the eyes, a faded black t-shirt with lots of safety pins in it (whoever decided safety pins were an accessory was horriby, horribly wrong. In both the plain AND beaded sense.) and black hot pants with a big silver belt. The more I describe this, the more it sounds like our friend was a chica, but no--'twas a dude. But I ride bikes. Anyhoooo...so he thinks he's cool because of his safety pins and he's wearing his little sister's pants or whatever, but the problem was that his zipper was down. It was a sort of poetic justice in my mind. Not that public humiliation of that sort belongs to Goth ferns because that's not what I mean. I mean, anyone who thinks themselves above others deserves it. Wait, is my zipper down?
3. So due to a strenuous morning (training almost an entirely new department) I am sucking down a DC. I'm not necessarily "off the wagon" as I never really intended to be on it. I knew that I would still drink the stuff in moderation, but I feel a little strange since I've been off the sauce so long.
4. I think you have to have little or no pride in order to be accepted as a litigant on one of Fox's "judge shows." How often do you see someone handle themselves on Judge Joe Brown with any sort of class or dignity? I think the name of the show answers that question for us, now doesn't it?
5. Having said that, my new life's ambition is to someday be on "Deal or No Deal."
6. Today's edition of Peggy's Pretty Priceless Passing Points (and my much needed lunch) is being cut short due to the early arrival of trainees from benefits orientation. Sigh...back to the mines.
7. Anyone want my chicken nuggets?
