Odyssey + the Real World

I just sent a facebook message that began like this: "Hi, my name is Liz. You may remember me..."

I very much felt like I should end that sentence with "we dated a couple of times last week."

In a hymnbook that I was looking at the other day there was a hymn and the name of the tune was 'Rathbun'. No kidding.

Haha, that's my band teacher's name.

First name: Larry.

Call me brain-missing, but what should that remind me of?

I express similar sentiments to those posted by the user above me. I must have missed a Liz episode...

Replace the "Liz" with "Mitch." And imagine Connie saying the line (which... might not be exactly word-for-word). And think Plan A, but the next letter.

Oh-- thank you. Those are too many inferences for me.

My Sunday school teacher mentioned the 'Q' document on Sunday.

It's real? Or is it still a theory?

I remember when we studied this in my college New Testament class, it reminded me of Odyssey. I also thought of The Search for Whit when the "lost" gospel of Judas was a big deal recently, and when I was reading The Da Vinci Code. AND (The Search for Whit has been influential in my life) I thought about it when I was in Jerusalem, I kept thinking of Whit saying "Meet me at the Eched bus terminal on Joppa street."

I sat next to a guy on a plane that sounded like Marshal Younger! (...at least some of the time). I tried to record his voice on my cell phone three times, but, sadly, he was not very good at "performing" on cue.

I went skiing this weekend (for the first time, it was totally awesome) and every time I got on the lift I thought of Wooton's friend who doesn't have knees.

Really? Whenever I go on the ski lift I think of Wooton's tricycle incident. It kind of puts me on edge when I'm on it.

A couple weeks ago, I had to dig my car out of the snow, and I had virtually no shovels/etc. to help me out. Every time I think of how to describe how unpleasant that was, I think of Cal's description of the Novacom show Kickboxing Kids (from "Nova Rising"): "12-year-olds fight the forces of evil with only their hands, their feet, and their witty repartee." $\:D/$

We're reading "The Odyssey" in english class, so I always think of... well...

I know people who have the last names Cunningham and Shultz. Unfortunately, the Cunninghams are rude and jerky and so there's no way that I would be able to convince my Shultz friend to marry one of them.

Real world and Town of Odyssey connection: Lifehacker recently ran an article about "Video game desktop wallpapers," and they showed a lot of Mario ones. I instantly thought of Top Crusader!

I just saw a facebook photo album titled "With a Little Help from My Friends." $\:D/$

The biographical information for the author John Milton stated the fact that a book that influenced Milton was written by an Arthur Dent!
