camwynSome days I think the world would be a more interesting place if it were more like what I see out of the corner of my eye. Like the BREAKING NEWS headline on CNBC that I thought said BOMB EXPLODES AT JP MORGAN'S ATHENS OFFICE- NO ONE NOTICES. Or the advert on one of the phone booths in Times Square that I thought said SEND A BEAR, SEND A SMITE - To A Child In The Hospital. Or... oh, I don't know, any number of other things. I'm going to start writing these down and using them as actual background information somewhere...
(The bear thing actually says 'send a smile', but I like the implication that you can do the Prophet Elisha's trick with the she-bears by calling a 1-800 number.)
