Sam: Caolionn, Caolionn, walk faster! You've gotta see the coolest contrail coming from this plane.
Caolionn: Sam, he's skywriting.
Sam: What?
Caolionn: Someone has payed the pilot an obscene amount of money to write something really trite in the sky.
Sam: Oh, we don't do that in Texas. That makes the contrail much less cool.
Note: In the interest of fairness and the desire not to get the silent treatment all week long, when he saw the cool contrail, it was between two branches so he only saw the hard u-turn in the M.
Note's Note: Sam would like it to be known that I cooked the frozen pizza with the cardboard still attached, so I ain't all high and mighty.

Caolionn,
Could you let me/us know how you pronounce your first name?
... and thanks for sharing.
Ben

You're not supposed to cook pizza with the cardboard still attached?

You eat frozen pizza? I thought you had already finished your phd? ;=)
That reminds me of one time (not at band camp) when I had to convince a friend that fish had bones and a central nervous system. It took half-an-hour! She thought I was just saying it to tease her... I think i convinced her with, "you know when you get fresh fish and sometimes there are these little whiteish things in the meat....". This person was a 25 year old university graduate by the way... and she'd kill me if she knew I was writing this...

Ben: My name is pronounced Key-lin. Yeah, I bet you weren't expecting that.
Jennifer: Um, no. You will find the crust becomes much crunchier without it. Just a little tip.
Mick: Oh, I'd be pissed at you for sharing that too. I recommend: http://www.thislife.org/ Episode: "A Little Bit of Knowledge" We all have those stupid moments.

Jason: Not a clue, actually. We left before the pilot finished.
