Get Smith Girls Laid
This shopping trip resulted in a near-death experience, and a full set of ShamWows.
Introducing Mod 83:
Lizz is really short! She studies genocides. She intends to become a rabbi. She spent last fall studying in Israel. She is active in Hampshire’s Jewish student group. Her girlfriend just left for two years in Kazakhstan, in the Peace Corps.
Hannah is blonde! She studies revolutions. She is active in the Hampshire group Students for Justice in Palestine. She spent last spring in Buenos Aires. She used to be in Fire & Ice Burlesque with me. One of her favorite things to do is show off her wicked Gollum impersonation. (Yes, she did consider combining these talents into a Gollum-themed burlesque number.) She also makes comics.
Chris is a boy! He studies storycraft. He likes rearranging his room and reading about electronics. After he graduates, he plans to spend two years walking around the country (with his trusty GPS system), and then move to Montreal.
I love reducing Hampshire students to a handful of sentences/stereotypes.

Oh my god! ShamWows! Do they work?! After seeing the infomercial I put them in the Too Good To Be True file and moved on with my life. The presence of the word ’sham’ in the product name did little to allay my skepticism. But tell me: what is you experience? Can I finally get excited about this amazing towel?

On David’s comment, perhaps we need some kind of ShamWOW demonstration party. If I had a tile floor and ShamWows, I would have a ShamWOW demonstration every day. I’d set up a velvet rope outside my door and admit five people at a time to view it. There would be three shows a night.

David & Tabitha,
I’m still not sure how worth it the ShamWows are. Chris and Hannah, the two driving forces behind the ShamWow purchase, seem more than happy with them. Maybe it’s just the way I use them, but somehow they never seem quite as incredible as the infomercial. But hey, we do have a lot of them, and a tile floor as well, so I am ALL FOR a demonstration party. It would be our first theme party of the year!

Just to confirm that I am, in fact, a horrible person, I actually laughed when I read “she studies genocides.”
I MISS YOU GUYS
