No MWE, but SOAP

Midwestern Eavesdropping has only 3 submissions this week. Hence, it will be postponed until next Thursday, and it will include those 3 submissions and the many others that I better receive in the next week. Keep your ears open, and email what you hear to gmyhblog@yahoo.com. I beg you.

I would never -- never -- leave you empty-handed. It appears that you (yes, even you Ryan) can send to your friends, enemies co-workers, paramours, parole officers, and speech pathologists a message from Samuel L. Jackson about the soon-to-be-released greatest movie of all-time, Snakes on a Plane. Just click on this link, and follow the instructions. It's wildly entertaining, and should provide you with nearly as many hours of entertainment as making rockets from Diet Coke and Mentos, thinking up creative ways to kill the cicadas that will invade Chicago next summer, or pacing outside your ex-girlfriend's house waiting for her to get back from her date with that asshole Jim she dumped you for who might have a fucking Audi but he's not as good looking as you are and doesn't understand her like you do and, you know what, so what if it was three years ago and they're engaged now, because you still love her and tonight is going to be the night when she will finally realize that you are right for her and not Jim, and on the chance that Jim is with her when she gets back, if it takes hiding in her bushes with night-vision goggles on to help you get over her, then that's just what you'll have to do because otherwise you'll never know if she's sleeping with, and therefore really in love with, Jim or just dreaming of you while she's sleeping next to him, refusing to have sex with him because she only wants to have sex with you because she still loves you and is trapped in this relationship with an Audi-driving mind-controller who must have her under some sort of hypnotic spell and the only way for her to break the spell is to be kissed by you but she doesn't know that because that's part of the spell, so you'll have to break into her house no matter what to kiss her and to beat Jim to death with a tire iron because otherwise he can just put another spell on her and you don't want to deal with that again, and then you and her will live happily ever after because this whole situation is just proof that you two are destined for each other. I need a nap.
