It’s a beautiful day in my neighborhood
Gorgeous out there! 63 degrees! The most perfect early spring feeling after weeks and months of chill and rain. That the forecast calls for rain this weekend all next week is almost enough to take the wind out of my sails.
More McSweeney’s pleasure for my readers: A few from the list Quoting My Philosophy Professors out of Context:
“Ooh, a banana. Toss it over.”
“I used to be mad at the bells.”
“They’re always jumping out of planes. I wish they would jump on me.”
“I could stand up on my desk, set it on fire, and yell at the top of my lungs. But what would that prove?”
“Don’t make me buoyant. You wouldn’t like me when I’m buoyant.”
“The concrescence is an actualization prehended as continual perishing and continuity of being. So no, the horse wouldn’t matter.”
“Yes, but Jesus wasn’t nailed to a block of cheese, was he?”
