'Hello, is this the party to whom I am speaking' - Bob Paslay
In my tiny, cheap apartment, I don't have high speed Internet service and go through the phone line. Many days I just forget and leave the computer hooked up and so my phone line remains busy. But when I think of it, I unplug the computer and hook the phone back up.

Rapper's arrest a bad omen for the summer - Justin Boron
The full impact of Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane's murder charge is still unclear. But I'm willing to forecast a dark emotional climate around metro Atlanta if Mane is ultimately indicted and incarcerated for a long, protracted murder trial. It would be a tremendous blow to the local rap scene, with sensational hits such as "Icy" and "Trap House" trapped in a box in that weird futuristic-looking compound that is the DeKalb County jail.

Encountering the counter - Michael Davis
They divide their forces. Both with arms-full of cereal, fruit, various beverages and toiletries. The one in cargo pants and thong sandals sidesteps to her right, craning her neck over a middle-aged man with a basket half-filled with goat cheese é the other half with tofu.

The skin of my teeth - Rob Felt
It's been nearly an hour of this. My mouth is half open, very dry and laced with a tangy medicinal flavor. Glancing at my watch every 30 seconds doesn't seem to be making the time go any faster, but at this point it's the only form of entertainment I can focus on.
