When I say the word "yardstick," do you know what I mean? Since I've moved to Tuscaloosa, I've asked two store employees if they could tell me where to find yardsticks, and they've both acted like I meant some kind of sticks that you put out in the yard. Tonight at Target, I had to explain to the kid what a yardstick looks like: "Well, it's three feet long, and it's wood . . ." What's that about? Are yardsticks new to Alabama?

Why do you even need a yardstick?

Btw, I heard Oh, What a Night in Whole Foods tonight. I blame you! :P

Measuring stuff 'round the house, yanno. I have some posters I need to get framed, and I have some empty spots that I want to get furniture for, but only if it fits. :)

Ah, I see. So you're just gonna pretend this Oh, What a Night shit never happened? Hee.

why not measuring tape? it makes such a satisfying sound when you snap it back into place.

my grandmother had a yardstick. a thick one with a leather strap on the end. my cousins and i used to ball up some masking tape and play yardstickball in the cul-de-sac.
