Printing green
I went to the bookstore the other day, and when I was cashing out, I noticed the Blue Books were no longer blue. The blue books changed to green books with totally recyclable materials. Nice to see the university making a small change.

Bad typo
In New York’s Rensselaer County, absentee ballots with the name “Barack Osama” were sent out to 300 voters. I would be appalled, but at this point, it’s going to take a lot more than an allusion to a terrorist for the disaster team of McCain/Palin to win.

Help from my friends
All political leanings aside, if Sen. John McCain says “my friends” one more time, I’m throwing myself into oncoming traffic. Or I could take a shot of some delicious rum every time he says it and probably get the same result. Here’s to you, Johnny.

So much for that
In my column on Tuesday, I offered a prize to the most creative solution to the Moscow-Pullman Highway crosswalk dilemma, asking for respondents to post their answers online at www.uiargonaut.com. No one responded correctly. Either that means no one has a solution or no one cares enough to offer one. Either way, I get to keep my money, so I’m happy.

Hmph
With a new average of about $3 per gallon, gas prices have officially dropped from “godless” to merely “expensive.” I never thought I’d be mildly excited about paying $25 for a half-tank. It’s not really worth a cheer, but I would like to offer gas prices a tight-lipped fist clenching emphasized by a meaningless throat noise, like a soft “hmph.”

Smell that smell
People tell me first impressions are important so make a lasting one. Here is to you, Moscow city planner, who, in my estimation, took a big hit of his crack pipe when designing a sewer plant near a main entrance to the town. Your brilliance has given Moscow a great first impression — “I’m likeable, but before you fall in love, I should let you know, I smell like poo.”

Dragging on
Midterms are over, and while I’m thankful for that, it makes me realize we still have half a semester to go before Winter Break. Without Thanksgiving Break to hold me over, I think I would just go crazy. This whole school thing is wearing me down. Maybe I should skip it and go on a road trip.

Consistency
So far I’ve had to write two stories this year about acts of random violence and hate. It’s disturbing that these days people are still so ignorant and cruel. It’s unfortunate some things never change.

Autumn cooking
One thing I love about fall is all the produce that’s available around this time. Pumpkins, apples, squash, carrots, pears and sweet potatoes will soon be cooked and eaten by me and everyone brave enough to try my recipes.
