I met a couple people here who run Boston, one who's run it 6 times (also was part of 214 mile relay, ouch) and another who is one of those people who kind of have a permanent scowl on their face. One lecture the professor stopped and asked her if she understood the concept she was explaining, extolling, living vicariously through, lobbying for, loving, living, and pushing on those whose direction and ease of passion is directed elsewhere. She replied with a deadpan "No, that's just my face." Very very good. Quick turnaround, to boot.

What is funny? What defines humor? Humor in a nutshell: go. Humor in 10 words or less. That which makes you laugh? Unsatisfyingly broad. Any takers?

Also, is grammar important? Is it something we should pay attention to? Be mindful of? (prepositions at ends of sentences)

I intend to follow up on these questions.

The plastic bag was a bad invention. Here we are some 50 years later or whatever, and we find ourselves eschewing the need for the plastic bag due to environmental concerns. Now we say, "no thanks I don't need a bag", I'll carry it without. Why didn't we do that from the beginning? Stupid. We ran in a circle on that one. Think about it. We spend all this time putting groceries into bags, then we get home and have to take them out. Why not just pick up your shit and put it into a cart and unload it into your car and save yourself steps. Plastic bags don't get you anywhere, especially if the consensus is that they are wasteful as well.
