As we’ve been cleaning out my office, I’ve stumbled upon so much absolute gold.
Of course, our definitions of “gold” may vary.
I was a little too happy to reclaim my treasured coupon for Triples Cereal, which, apparently, I bought off eBay for 50 cents back in 2005.
Triples Cereal came…
Anyone remember Triples? This was on my dad’s approved cereals list, which was extremely short. We had some free samples. I used to eat my breakfast in the dim ambient light of morning with no overhead light… and I was convinced there were bugs in my bowl. That’s what Triples looks like in dim lighting. We had some of these coupons, but I begged for no more Triples.
In honor of someone who asked me, completely seriously, why I had to wait for a book to be added to the system by someone else. “Can’t you just write out the little card yourself?” were her exact words. Seriously - do you see a card catalog in this room anywhere?!
“Listen, say yes, live in the moment, make sure you play with people who have your back, make big choices early and often. Don’t start a scene where two people are talking about jumping out of a plane.Start the scene having already jumped. If you are scared, look into your partner’s eyes. You will feel better.” - Amy Poehler
- teacher: okay class, listen, get out a piece of lined paper, fold it length wise, put your name, date, and period in the upper right hand corner, title it "____ notes", and number 1 through 25 without skipping lines
- student 1: how do we fold it
- student 2: do we skip lines
- student 3: can i have some paper bro
- student 4: do we have to title it
- student 5: what's the date
- me: i'm going to kill all of you
