naomie:

i love u Celine and keep it going u are the best we all love you*

rich:

"opiate of the masses."

Jeez.

Sarah:

You should know that this blog is one of the first sites to come up in a search for the terms, "harvard square" and "crazy people" (I was seeking a couple specific crazies). While I may not have found what I was looking for, I am digging your blog.

sarah:

this is gay

1minutefilmreview:

Wow!

sushiesque:

Oh, you're quite right. I did not read the fine, italic print.

Icarus does not give me great confidence in their products.

rick:

i'm pretty sure that the propellant is icarus.

Pippa:

A couple are driving home in the dark when the car breaks down, the husband decided to walk to a petrol station for help that was a few miles back, so he locked all the doors,windows and boot. On his return there was a stranger in the car and his wife was dead,there was no damage to the car at all.what happened?????

James Price:

Yeah I found this out the hard way. The people who work at the Library of Congress were none too nice about setting me straight. Most of the people that work there do not want to be bothered, I think. The people that registered me and got me my car (of which there were three) were super nice. But everyone else is either mean or indifferent. I shouldn't have even gotten the reader ID (which you supposedly need to even read anything at the LOC) because I've yet to be stopped and asked for it, even at the "researcher only" entrance! Weak.

semele:

Dear sushiesque - is there any way I can contact you offsite to ask for permission to use one of your photographs?

You can reach me at mirlac@yahoo.com

Thanks so much, and it's a terrific blog.

Kathleen:

Still attracting the crazies, huh? It's nice to know some things never change.

sushiesque:

Erin: I just wish I knew what I was up to.

Obo: Why are they on my doorstep?

obo:

They're fantasy sports league prizes.

Erin:

Clearly you are living a double life.

Jamie:

A man and woman go before a preacher in Pennsylvania to be married, but the preacher says,"I can't marry you two." Why?

sushiesque:

perhaps we could meet up there for a (possibly very cold) picnic?

1. no; I was with my parents, and they had their own agenda.

2. I couldn't find it, but I didn't look too hard. I do hope it has not been felled.

bonus: there was an unusual quantity of big green snails clinging to little rocks in freakish clumps.

Gabriel Mckee:

Awww, jealous-- I love Harkness. I rather want to go back there sometime soon. Two questions:
1. Did you go to Sarge's? I rather want to go back there, too. (It's where I bought my first Ace Doubles!)
2. Did you see the tree with the boob?

Gwynne:

I wish you were around all the time so you could document my meals. Well, that and cuz you're awesome.

saima:

can you answer this?

You have a chicken, a fox, and a sack of cornfeed how do you get across with a boat that holds 2 things only t a time.

Deathchicken:

Well duh, the chickens are locked in there and then they fart all over each other and it gives them the special zest.

Madison Guy:

Heartbreaking.

sushiesque:

Thanks! It was a good day.

Madison Guy:

Really nice sequence. Cool blog, too.

Alie:

most eyes are forced wide open by the dance

it's really confusing to me o.o

Allan. Forsythe:

They call me a man but I'll never have a wife. I was given a body, but not a life.
They made me a mouth, but didnt give me breath. Water gives me life but the sun brings me death

What am I?

ilana:

I cannot figure this riddle!
what can run but never walk what has a mouth but never talks what has a face but does not weep what has a bed but does not sleep

Mimi :

Here is the riddle. "When 1 door closes 9 open. When 9 close 1 opens. What is it?

mike:

there are 12 balls all look the same in all aspect, but one is different in weight. you are allowed to use a balance scale,not a weight measure. if you are allowed to use the scale one three times how do you find the different ball ?
can anyone help

Holy Cuteness:

Wow, gorgeous pics!

Johnny:

Lovely photos:)

Shiraz:

That's sort of awesome. But now I am fascinated to know by what criteria they do decide what to keep.

Justin:

As a youthful book-lover, it was my dream to visit the Library of Congress to read until my brain exploded.

I'm glad I've learned this many years later.

Epic Sadness Melee

sushiesque: Shyness sucks. Don't make me start quoting Morrissey.
didnt mean: I'll counter your Morrissey with a Tindersticks Loneliness Blast! LEVEL 4!!!

sushiesque: I block, launch myself into the air, and land on you with a Devastating Jawbreaker Hopelessness Assault! Which I then follow up with an Abject Red House Painters Kick To The Shins!
didnt mean: Your attacks have filled my Ennui Meter! I can execute the Signature Burning Nick Cave Dramatic Romantic Imagery and Despair Turning Side Kick!
sushiesque: And I still have 4 Burning Sadness Points left!!! I could call in my tag team partner, Nick Motherfucking Drake!
sushiesque: holy shit I am overcome with woe
didnt mean: I picked up the Leonard Cohen 'Getting Laid, But Still Very Pensive' powerup.
sushiesque: I will use my remaining MP to cast a call spell for "Charm of the Highway Strip"-era Magnetic Fields
didnt mean: SIGUR ROS INTERRUPT!!
sushiesque: You forget that I am equipped with a Belle & Sebastian Gauntlet of Scottish Awkwardness!! Which drains you of social skills every time you attack!

christine is my favorite indie band.

Funniest entry by far. Gwynne's post though begs the question, if one were an indie band, what label would one be on? Let's start a conversation, people! If I chose one based on my personality, it would be Shelflife. But Constellation is my 1st choice due to the current roster. Band name: Your Friends and Enemies. Visit http://www.cafeshops.com/panic_on if you like buying merchandise for imaginary labels.

My label would be Polyvinyl cause I'm a rockin' mofo. SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MUSIC THIS 4TH OF JULY!!! Band Name: Violet (Purple) Don't get it? Look at your Crayolas, people.

here's an old one, sing along if you remember it:

monday you can fall apart
tuesday, wednesday break my heart
oh thursday doesn't even start
it's friday, I'm BRITISH AND DEPRESSED... ( http://haiku.fuzrocks.com/search.php3?term=british&column=all )
