Couldn't they have popped it in the mail?

I know! It's a medal and money, right? They could have Fedexed that shit!

Look what I found on wikipedia: "Among the authors who are purportedly front-runners to be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005 are Margaret Atwood, Philip Roth, J.D. Salinger, John Updike, and Bob Dylan."

Bob Dylan?!?!?!

did someone need a rev'n?

Probably because at the time the book was assigned, I was studying abroad in Wales and drinking every night, so the next morning when I read it I was hungover. Also, because I was the only American in my class, I was called on wayyyyy too much to explain themes in the book, like, the feminist movement, and the constitution and all that jive.

I was like, Welshman, please. I am in Wales so I can forget about America!

Most of the time I came up with pathetic answers. Then, he didn't expect much of me, anyway...he actually told me before the semester began that because I was American, I wouldn't be expected to do as much! Normally, I'd be offended, but I took it as an open invitation to have very little responsibility!

Man, do I miss it.

Once, in a linguistics class, I had to "perform" how I pronounced vitamin, tomato, and some other words. I also had to explain the ebonics proposal in the Oakland School District, as well as what ebonics were.

Dylan gets my vote with Atwood in a close second.

And with Bono up for the Peace prize this could be a banner year for rock stars!

Someobody send the committee a link to the NPGMC and Prince will be a shoe-in for the prize in economics!

I'm rolling for Pynchon....

Come on, TP! DR needs a new pair of shoes!

It was obviously a mistake! But they are too embarrassed to change it now!

You Brits got lucky this year!!

I underlined it for you

just in case it hasn't sunk in yet

LleeLlee said:

I think it's a typo!

They obviously meant Harold and Kumar!!

I think Lleena had some inside information, hence her obsession with "Silence" recently.

It all makes sense.

Pause.

It occurs to me...

Silence.

TheFrog said:

I KNEW it!!

Lleena is in cahoots with Harold Pinter and the Nobel committee!!

2the9s said:

There hasn't been any mistake! The only mistake was your being convinced a Brit wasn't going to win

happy happy..joy joy..

TheFrog said:

Harold Pinter is my uncle and he told me!

but dont tell anyone

haha not really, but this is too funny

2the9s said:

I predict Pinter's speech is going to be very long:

"Hello.

Long pause

I may have come here before. Not so long ago.

Silence

It was on the bridge. Don't you remember? I thanked the cold for making you grip my hand tighter.

Pause"



And so on...

So now does this mean we all have to agree to read a Harold Pinter play??
