Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

A friend in college once told me, “Whenever I hear the phrase ‘having your cake and eating it too,’ I think of you.” Was ever a nicer thing said about anyone? I wanted to play around with the idea of shorter subjects this week, but the people I talked to really were interested in either Springfield’s winning streak, or the Ducks’ losing streak. Using a story that many may have missed about a Portland High School football team that purposely takes a penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct to begin each game, I was able to weave both topics together. (Special thanks to Greg for steering me toward a terrific loop-back to finish the column.)

Ellen Kogstad, wherever you are, I haven’t changed a bit.
