dear sasha and jennifer

To the people who left a note on my car at Duke today,

You wrote:

"This is Sasha and Jennifer from Duke Young Writer's Camp...
YOUR CAR IS HOTNESS!!!
...can we marry your car? PLEASE?"

My reply:

First, Undersea Mah Jongg, like its driver, is a girl. So you will have to go to Massachusetts if you want to marry her.

Second, while I concede that "hotness" is a noun, the sentence "Your car is hotness" sounds ungrammatical to me. Also, "Duke Young Writer's Camp" is definitely problematic, in that it suggests the camp belongs to one young writer. As they will teach you in writers' camp, you must learn the rules before you can break them. (Before anyone posts a comment pointing out my own grammatical errors, I have learned the rules, leaving me free to break them whenever I please.)

Last, thank you. You will never know how much I needed to smile today.

Isn't this the sort of thing Senator Santorum warned against?

The marriage of two underage girls and a car, also female. I think the senator would be proud.

You know, I've seen a lot of that sort of thing on the craft lists on LJ... another one I've heard recently that I loved was "it's pants," meaning bad.

I didn't really understand this one until I was chatting with a british friend of mine who pointed out that in England pants = underpants, not trousers.

ahhhhhh.

(Just pretend they left off "incarnate" and it's quasi-acceptable. The 's issue, though is inexcusable.)

At the risk of paraphrasing pop singers who will be at Alltel next Wednesday, "Sarah, smile!"

Well, considering i know Jennifer...hi jen if you read this ;). She is crazy (in a good way) and loves to do interesting things with her friends... *cough* (won't go into details). I think the car is awesome too.

Sasha said:

ACK!I never thought I would ever hear of that person/car ever again. I still want to marry that car.
Now all i have to do is move to Massachusetts, get them to legalize human-intimate object marriages, and bigamy and then everything will be fine and dandy!

Jennifer said:

I beleive you mean polygamy, Sasha, and all we have to do is become Morman.

I still can't beleive I found this site! We thought we'd never hear from you, we even waited that day to see if you would return to your car. You didn't return in the time we waited, though, but at least we still know you saw the note! I think its really wonderful what you've done with your car and the festival in Houston sounded really cool. Pardon my poor grammar on the note, and yes 'hotness' is correct when you're using my own special street slang-- where I take slang and twist it into my own strange form.

That car is still hotness!!!!
