Ah? So.

I just gave a design test, where students had to create an ad for a refreshing beverage. I gave them the image (lime splashing in cool, clear water) and the headline:

Aaaaaaaaaah!

As they are turning in the finished project, and I'm seeing the headline in 150 point type, I realize that there is a difference between

Aaaaaaaaah!


and

Ahhhhhhhhh!

One is contented. The other is running away in terror. I've made a note of it.

  2. Do you mean Killer Limeys?
    Terence Stamp?
    When exactly did Soderbergh jump the shark? Was it Ocean's Twelve? Which I liked. But I just heard about Ocean's 13. Come freakin' on. Really.
    Um, what were we talking about?
