Odds and Ends: It’s Been a While Since I’ve Had an Incomplete Thought
Happy Friday, everyone. This is a sounding board for thinking out loud. Share your own in the comments, and the best will be posted here.
- Did you know that Pret A Manger gives all its leftover sandwiches to City Harvest to give to the homeless at the end of the day? Somewhere, there’s a homeless man who has a better taste for artisan bread, manchego cheese, and arugula than I do.
- In the past few weeks, the number of dreams I’ve had about high school has risen dramatically. Normally, I’m late for a class, in an argument with a teacher, or have completely forgotten to study for a test. Ten years ago, these dreams would have fallen in the category of “nightmares.” Today, they fall into the category of “unresolved issues from high school that linger in my subconscious.”
- I think this guy is a national hero. (Hat tip to reader Liz, who decided I would try this)
- I hate Rihanna, for making me think of her every time I need an umbrella.
- I also hate Beyonce, for still making me think of her every time I give directions involving a left turn.
- If a Labrador/Poodle mix is called a Labradoodle and a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix is called a Goldendoodle, would a Magyar Agar/Poodle mix be called a Magnadoodle?
- This morning, as I climbed the stairs out of the subway, there was an old man holding a briefcase standing completely still. He had one foot on the landing and the other foot on the first stair. He didn’t move an inch in the entire time I saw him. While I was concerned, my initial thought was “is this another Improv Everywhere stunt?”

Marlene says:City Harvest is a great org. Homeless people are a very small population they serve - mostly it is the working class that need to access food after paying high rents and bills. Pret doesn’t donate too much but Starbucks and Fresh Direct donate more.

Ryan says:Like you, every time it rains, I get Rihanna’s song stuck in my head.
I, however, do not hate it. I would rather imagine Rhianna holding an umbrella than Milli Vanilli blaming it on the rain.

No. Trademark infringement.
