Today, while writing at the Union on campus:

Girl standing in nearby group, wearing those ridiculously-tight, barely-more-than-panties, ass-hanging-out-of-the-bottom cotton shorts that are apparently popular with some college students right now, speaking to her friends: “I’ve got to go. I’ve got class.”

Another girl, seated nearby, not in the above group: “No, you don’t. You really, really don’t.”

Loud enough for me to hear…and subsequently, for “bootie shorts” and her pals to hear as well.

I looked up and gave her a golf clap for some high-quality snark.

For and other afficianados of The Bell:

An essay on Salon.com from a Foodie, reflecting upon Taco Bell, its origins, its food, and questioning why it apparently thrives in a country where Hispanics are now the largest minority group, and where genuine Mexican food can be found in almost every suburb and city…..

The Digital Front podcast has posted the audio from the d20/OGL meeting at GenCon, between WOTC Staff, a few publishers, and a room full of fans who really didn’t need to be there.

It’s quite long, and the audio is pretty bad, but if you slog through it, you can hear a few suggestions and comments from a bunch of folks (including me)….as well as my Duran Duran ringtone immortalized at 1:08:00 (yes, I forgot to turn my phone off).

I’m glad this recording was made, not the least of which is because now I can finally hear the fan who cited Adamant as a hallmark of quality at 1:08:47 (while I was out of the room answering the damn phone)!
