We're Famous!

I had been floundering back and forth on whether or not I wanted to attend the Salon this semester seeing as by the end of it I may be too fat to actually fit in the circle-o-conversation. But then I received the Dallas Institue for Humanities brochure of Spring classes in the mail and saw this next to the "Friday Night Salon" entry:
How could we say no?
We brought sharpies to sign autographs and all, but people really didn't seem too interested. Sucks to their asthmars! Whatevs. We know what's what. But actually having our picture in the brochure is hilarious because we actually know nothing and attend the Salon so that we can surround ourselves with smart folks who know better than we do in an attempt to learn a thing or two about the world. You gotta love irony..

Too sexy! That pic's bound to bring in the crowds. Sign up early seating is limited. I love that salon. Where else can a guy be accused of being Hobbsian? Apparently there's another one besides "Calvin and..." I'm still not sure if was a compliment or not.

I would have asked for your autograph.

I don't know...if your baby hears all that intellectual conversation, he might turn out to be a nerd, too. What's that? Oh, right. Waaaaaaayyyyy too late to avoid that one. Poor kid, he never had a chance...

OK. I get it. My kid will be a nerd. I'm good with that. (and you're one to talk, Neal! :) ) BUT one of my biggest concerns is what if he ends up being a jock? I mean, I can handle rubix cube competitions and mathletes, and chances are slim that he would be a football player, but I'm the x factor here since I am adopted. We don't exactly know what genetices we're working with.

But you're right. Poor kid never had a chance... except he'll probably be your boss! :D ooooh. burn!


yeah, ok. sucks to my asthmar.
