Odds -n- Ends

I have no bizarre coincidences of personal acquaintance to report like Nate does, though I suspect that's one of the stranger ones any of us are likely to encounter. I have no idea whatsoever how that split transpired, or what kind of terms they were on... hopefully not too bad though. No one really ever talked about her, huh?

Instead, I've got a small compendium of trivial observations:

An unknown co-worker last week deposited on the office-supplies counter a bag of Twizzlers "Tweeterz", which are bits of chopped-up Twizzlers coated in a sugary candy shell. Fortunately they are only a seasonal Easter candy; eating one Tweeter is fine, but consuming two or more Tweeterz at once sends your heart into uncomfortably fluttery territory. ... Did you know that the books displayed at the front of Barnes & Noble and other bookstores are there because the publisher has paid the store to act like they're notable or recommended? If you can explain to me how this differs from illegal radio payola, I'll give you a cookie. ... Stephen Colbert's correspondents' dinner speech is less funny than the buzz would have you think. ... Someone on my street has a vanity license plate reading, simply, PORK. There must be a congressman joke in there somewhere, though it would be hard to account for why a congressman would be living in East Haven or driving a gray Ford Escape. ... Let's hear it for newly drafted Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes. Do you have any gadget plays? Do you?!? We're not kidding, man, we need you to bust out some gadget plays!!
