Now that would be interesting.

Everyone got an e-mail this morning telling us we can audition for The Hobbit, the next play being done on campus. So, naturally, the e-mail was called "Hobbit Auditions." But, in a chuck_lw moment, I thought it said "Hobbit Auctions."

When a second e-mail was sent (since the first one apparently didn't tell us where the auditions were going to be held), it said "Re: Hobbit Auditions" and I still thought it said "Hobbit Auctions." There's nothing like making a weird mistake and realizing that you made the same weird mistake an hour earlier to make you feel really crazy.

Hooray for misreads!:-)

Hm. An hour later, too? They usually don't stick around. That's impressive.

So, are you going to bid on a Hobbit?

Hobbits don't really do much for me ... though I know people who would bid on certain actors who played certain hobbits in certain movies, I am not one of those people.
