Happy Homecoming!
Ahh freshmen...and ahh odd practices of asking girls to homecoming.
The girls on my floor have become very popular as of late with the young men, and are all getting asked to homecoming in varrying and diverse manners. There's been the butter asking...well...at least half of the butter-asking method. So far all this girl has is a smashed up cube of butter...and no invite. There's been the balloon method, with the paper inside of it...there's the posters in the elevators, the ramen soup with words written upon it...yadda yadda yadda.
I think what I don't understand is the necessity of such askings. Why do you need these extravegant ways to get someone to go on a date with you? For me, it's kind of like when some girls end up with these HUGE rings that are more gaudy then attractive. I always wonder if the ring was meant as a symbol, or as a way of convincing. Even though I'm almost always sure that the convincing aspect isn't the case, I always stop to wonder.
Anyway, Freshmen award goes to complicated methods of asking people to dances.

Consumer Warning
Hot Pockets from the vending machines may generate simultaneous infusions of both lead and arsenic. While neither is in a dose that may prove fatal, brain function may become inhibited.
There was a young man yesterday who caused me to worry about the possibility of lead content in Hot Pockets from the vending machine. I was sitting in the office, and there's a glass window. He walks up to the closed window while I'm working on the computer, and he looks in. While holding his hot pocket close to his face, he looks at me and says, "HOT POCKET!" and then stares for a second. Then he walks away. Later, he walks outside, taps on the window (from the outside) of the office, and stands there behind the blinds. As soon as I get nearer to him and the window, he looks in the window with the Hot Pocket (now half consumed) and says "HOT POCKET! GOOD!" and then runs away again.
