Miscellany

Overheard: New York conversation.

Hideous: Winning entry in the Second Annual Horrible College Student Poetry Contest.

Not that fussy: Ill-targeted email campaign.

"Saturated in Atlanta:" Dealing with incontinent dogs and their owners.

Ignominious death:
[P]assing away in the men’s room of a public library bespeaks a certain lack of gravitas unworthy of the public library as an institution. The deceased would have been better off passing away while hunched over some scholarly tome in the reference room, death alone ending his unquenchable thirst for knowledge; dying in the men’s room smacks of simple carelessness.
