D'Oh!

Today, I learned that not everyone knows The Simpsons as well as some of us in the newsroom do.

I wrote a caption "My eyes! The goggles do nothing" on top of a photo for today's issue. Organic chemistry lab overseer/professor: not happy.

Not only do their goggles NOT do nothing, they are top-of-the-line, said she. (Later, EIC Taylor Dungjen's roommate Alyssa said they don't even allow students to use them -- unless they pay, but that's beside the point!)

So, it kind of made me reflect. I've always been able to remember obscure quotes. I used to be able to go through good amount of movie dialogue in my head when I should be studying.

It got so bad that I had a quote for everything at one point in my life. Well, relevant to everything. It wasn't so much "blah blah blah - Thoreau" kind of things, but more like "You get that way when you drink ginger ale, too? - The bartender guy in the movie Kingpin."

Alas, my then-girlfriend grew tired of it (which I inevitably connected with a movie quote).

All for the better, I say. A person needs to know their priorities.

And it just so happens that Radioactive Man > Real Problems In The World.

UP AND ATOM!
