Mr. Hunt called. I have been offered the job as new coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. My first move is kidnapping Tony Gonzalez and hypnotizing him into coming back.
Wow! A parent of one of Harrison's friend actually said "Shes a colored person with a different religion" when talking about a co-worker. My mind blanks in stupification.
At a recent conference social event, a friend of mine sat down at a table with some other librarians, one of whom greeted her with the statement, "Well, you certainly look exotic."

Another of my favorites is the person who has to prove she's more aware of diversity because different ethnicities happen to be sitting at the same table.

My grandparents say "colored person", too.

Heather, that goes back to the the weird and awkward ways people manage to mention to me they voted for Obama.

My grandma called blacks "purple people" and I distinctly remember accidentally embarrassing the hell out of her when I didn't understand what she meant. I was little and hadn't figured out the whole voice modulation thing.

When I was a teen, my parents were looking for a new house when our family grew. We found the PERFECT place and we were all amped about it until the owner/builder says "Yeah, you should love it, another colored family lives down the street." We kept looking for another place.

I continuously fight with a friend (?) of mine who can't figure out why calling someone who's Japanese, a "Jap" is offensive. (My apologies for using the term to illustrate my point in advance.)

I about died the other day when my MIL said a lovely anti-semitic phrase.

My dad says "Oriental people". I say, "Oh, like the rugs?"

When we moved into our house, one of the neighbors came by and said "I heard some colored people were moving in..." I looked shocked and said, "What? Really? When are they moving in?"

I am a critical juncture in my life. Today I attempt to make cheese dip without velveeta. If you know of a good non-velveeta recipe please let me know.
No surprise. Wake me up in four weeks when the game kicks off. No matter what happens, the winner will play for the Waterford crystal football ($$$), even if three other teams from other conferences finish with unblemished records.

this year, it has to be an SEC in the national championship. And if Texas can keep plowing through teams, we will have an awesome matchup this year.

I have it on good authority that Michael Porter is the Annoyed Librarian. The back and forth is just to generate more hype for his AL blog and Library 101. The brilliance of such a move is brilliant.
