This one tastes like the cow got into an onion patch
On Wednesday, I left my "work shoes" and my man-purse at work and wore my sneakers to Fenway. The only problem with this was that I had to wear my sneakers to work yesterday. I see women pull off this look all the time -- business attire with running shoes. However, I looked sillier than I could have imagined. I almost wish I had a picture of it just to prove my point.
I was bored yesterday during my break, so I decided to write a letter (actually an email) to the Metro, which mocked the faulty reasoning of a guy who had his letter published in Thursday's paper. This guy was mad that a bunch of people wrote letters in protest of The Metro's fall fashion preview, which featured people wearing fur. An excerpt from his letter:
"Where's all the outrage about human beings killed by Islamic terrorists...? I guess to the liberal, fur protester, children matter less than cute animals."
Few things make me more upset than poor logic and faulty reasoning (though Logic 401 was the only class I failed in college), so I felt compelled to respond. They published my response today, but they edited out my trademark "Zinger Example", which is a favorite weapon of mine when arguing (ask Irf about "Knoxville Kickers"). Anyway, after the editing, my letter ended up sounding much more civil than I had intended. I was hoping to get this guy a little riled up and start a war of words in the paper, strictly for my amusement, but this watered-down response is unlikely to get his blood boiling. Anyway, I should get going now. I'm sure you have better things to do than read about me. If you don't have anything better to do, you can read this or click here for my new favorite time-waster.
