(Untitled)
A few days ago I was walking around off campus and found a gas station named "Freedom" followed by an abstract representation of part of the US flag. While ironic in and of itself, I was even more amused by the title from my vantage point. Two strategically placed pillars turned the title into "Feed Me" (the final E being the abstract flag ( Read more... ) -

It might be more than that since I can't really remember my last appointment, let alone when it was, but telling them "about four years" sounds at least marginally better than "I have absolutely no idea" or "a really really long time ago, I think." Having been such a long time ( Read more... )
