Out of nostalgia for Fridays with the Brown Daily Herald... my recent days:
coal to potholes. My car is now making very scary death-grinding noises that need to be looked at.

diamond to the Quantum Xerrion Consciousness Interface for bringing sentences like "I'm combing your DNA to remove alien life forms" and "I've got to remember to seal your aura before you leave" to my Thursday morning.
