Yesterday morning I received a spam e-mail from someone named Napoleon Mayo. I deleted it right away, of course, but what a name! Napoleon Mayo<\/strong>. It reminds me of Colonel Mustard. Condiments with military prowess.<\/p>\n

Sometimes anthropology is so exciting. Yesterday, while doing some editorial work for the department website, I was faced with a document called \u201cWhat is Luminescence Dating<\/strong>?\u201d Now, this stuff is entirely beyond me\u2014dealing as it does with natural radioactivity and artifacts and other things that concern archaeologists and not people like myself\u2014but what a term! I\u2019d like to appropriate it and twist it a bit. What is luminescence dating, you ask? Why, it\u2019s a date so fantastic that by the end of the evening, both parties are actually emitting light\u2014luminescent, if you will. What a lovely idea.<\/p>\n

And a phrase I shall never tire of saying: \u201cPicard: les Surgel\u00e9s<\/a><\/em>.\u201d It\u2019s the name of a French chain store that sells high-quality frozen foods. Go ahead, say it. Now say it quietly, almost a whisper. Now smile while whispering. French frozen foods are so sexy.<\/strong>
