Sunday morning--going to church, becoming a member of NPR, breaking into office buildings. So early and so much has been accomplished. Alright, so it wasn't technically breaking in because I had a key, but my key is just for an office and I didn't think it would open the whole building, so it felt like breaking in. Oh, and I became a member of NPR so they would give me a bumper sticker, and also so Ira Glass would love me and also because Click and Clack told me that if I didn't give NPR money then Carl Kassell's coffee maker wouldn't make coffee and then Morning Edition wouldn't happen and then Americans would all oversleep and we would be taken over by Canada. So really, it was my duty as a good citizen against Canadian takeover to give NPR money, and get a sticker.
If we got taken over by Canada, then we could go to Tim Horton's every day and that, my friend, would be worth flying a maple leaf over the White House.

Posted by: linnea at May 5, 2007 8:52 AMHey, Linnea, do you ever listen to "Wait, wait, don't Tell me?" ....On NPR that is. We get it right after clickety clack.
Posted by: mdiber at May 7, 2007 8:55 PMI listen to bits of it while driving around on Saturdays, but I've never listened to the whole show. I get it mixed up with "Whad'ya Know", though.
