*boggles as to who is searching the webbernets for my posts about being handcuffed during scavhunt 2004*

that does amuse me, though...i'm glad there are some people out there who remember some of my crazy scavhunt exploits. that's one thing i miss so much here, scavhunt. although, i don't know if i'll be able to do it again, ever...i missed it last year, and now that i'm two years out of school there are so few people still scavving that i know, that it would just be weird and creepy.

i tried to hold on as long as i could, but i'm afraid that era is over. that makes me sad.

concerned citizens.

ohs noes! cops eating bananas!

i'd really like to read the original letter that this woman sent to the police department.

i love you, craig.

i found this on best of craigslist...it's a choose-your-own-adventure-style "missed connections" post, and anyone from chicago (especially if you've dealt with that special breed of chicago hipsters...) will be way too amused by it.

c)whole foods at north/sheffield

speaking of best of craigslist, i read this one for the first time in months and months. it's still my favourite craigslist posting ever. i tried to read it out loud for my friends, and i broke down laughing so hard that i had to stop reading at least twenty times.

you silly crackheads and your spark plugs. always a good time.
