“Hey, you can’t be looking at something like that in here. These are real people walking around with real sensibilities and fears, hungers and desires. They aren’t fictional characters like you.
“With your ball cap and your talking way too loud on your two-way phone planning three-way sex. Your shaved, stubbled head, your braying laugh.
“These people are blocked with solidity. They are unerringly corporeal. They have substance. They are real.
“They are not like you.
“You’re a caricature, a cartoon hound pacing back and forth from computer to telephone inscribing an ever-widening path in the already worn carpet.”

Proud bumper sticker
I saw a bumper sticker today that read, "PROUDLY SERVED IN THE AIR FORCE 1973 - 1978".
It inspired me to create this one in order to display my pride.

Woman from Sticky Buns Throwdown
I was watching an episode of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". It was the sticky bun episode and the challenged was explaining the difference between her and Bobby's sticky buns. The challenged was a Harvard alumni and a lot of the crowd were Harvard affiliated. So as she explains the difference, a woman from the crowd chimes in with "That's how they do it at Yale!", and I was so impressed with how cute she was that I wrote her this haiku:
Spectacled goddess
“That’s how they do it at Yale!”
Sung from the sidelines
