An enigma, wrapped in a question mark, shrouded in mystery

We've all heard about using super glue to attach a quarter to the floor. Here's a twist that fits nicely into a social experiment. This works best in an office setting that includes an entry hallway and a couple of offices. Glue the first quarter in the hallway. It's an innocent enough location to lure the skeptics into a get rich quick scheme. Once they realize they've been foiled, their ego will likely be bruised. Here's the twist. Glue the second quarter in one of the offices. No one would ever expect the second quarter to be glued down too. "What kind of idiot jerk would glue two quarters to the floor?", they would silently think to themself. As it turns out, I could easily play the part of the previously mentioned idiot jerk. The social experiment has begun and all you have to do is sit back, watch, and prepare your, "suck failure, freak!" finger. Whether they go for it or not is of little concern to me so save your sob stories. It ties into the glass half empty thing. Try it. Don't skimp, you cheapo. Nobody bends over for a nickel. Write that down.

Movies

We are an hour and a half into Sex and the City the Movie and I need a break. Watching this movie reminds me of crying through a magic show, except there are no tricks, and I have to cut my own wrists in order to see color. Also, I would like to add, I have never cried through a magic show. The movie has a scene that involves running in snow, and for that, I offer my nostalgic admiration. But cheap add-ins like snow and acoustic versions of real songs aside, save your money. I have just reinforced my ongoing habit of wanting to ignore those humans who dress like clowns, live like clowns, act like clowns, and then tell me to love clowns. It's quite a fake lifestyle. When did Lame get so popular?
