Have you ever had a perm? My mom made me get a perm when I was like in fifth grade, and I've never forgiven her for it.
there are moments when you are clever.
anyway, yes, i also do not want a perm again. yes, my mother also made me get one when i was in fifth grade.

I'm confused--the title of your post is "I do not want to be a temp again," but everyone is posting about hair. Is there a story here known only to those who were at some event in Madison?
i had the same thought, gwen. although jeremy's hair response was an apparent non-sequitur, dorotha did refer to it as "clever", something she is ever-reluctant to do, so it must have been diabolically clever. clearly, we the teeming multitude are being left in the dark. i say, illuminate!
Dudes,
It's a pun: temp, perm. TEMPorary, PERManent.

That level of word-play is WAY too complex to expect normal people to get.
but see, it's more than a pun, as it's actually, more than anything else, an inside joke/nod to dorotha's past. thus: complexity. and countless millions left bewildered.
no, it is mostly a pun. you don't need to know that i had a perm in order to get the joke. jeremy may not even remember that already knew about my childhood perm.
calling him clever, on the other hand, is an inside joke.

I didn't know Dorotha had a perm. I was hoping the link in her comment about it was going to be to a photo.
i feel dumb
jeremy is wrong. he does know that i had a perm. i even showed him the picture. i think that maybe he just can't remember things that aren't about him. just a theory.
Somewhere there is an incriminating 5th grade photo of me sporting both a perm and, if memory serves, a pink Esprit shirt.
Shudder.
