The Field Guide: Canvasser greenpaecius

Greetings to all of my hyper-cephalized companions!

The Pocket Protector is officially BACK from its arduous trek across the molten lava fields of academia, and stronger than ever!  I might have totally woken up in a flurry of empty latte cups, goldfish crumbs, and torn up flash-cards, but I am happy to say that I'm blogging again.

Today as students retreat back into their holes or visit family abroad, they can take pleasure in knowing that they are less likely, by virtue of being off-campus, to run into this week's Field Guide subject.  It has a gawky smile constantly plastered on its face even though it suffers from extreme anxiety disorders and Napoleon complexes, preys on those who make eye contact, and holds a board of doom and despair on which it records the names of its victims.  This monster, dear readers, is not necessarily a single species but a whole genus known as Canvasser, but for brevity, we shall focus on one Canvasser greenpaecius, as it is the most violent and most commonly found member of the genus in existence.  These organisms are known colloquially as "street canvassers" or "scary clipboard people".

Hi!  Do you have a quick second for me to guilt you out of $50 every month?

Inn Perspective: "People"- People are People Too!

Have you noticed that if you say "people" too many times, it inadvertently turns into "peep hole", which then turns into "pee-hole" if (God forbid) you continue "people-ing"??

...Talk about a pointless tangent.  Welcome, my hyper-cephalized companions, to another installment (albeit a VERY late one) of "Inn Perspective" on TPP.  I'm sure by now, you have wondered to yourself more than a few times what magical wonders the stagnant cesspool of human indecency could offer this time around.  Wonder no more!

This week's subject: Recognizing "people"-people and how to keep them happy.

A Brief Look at the Habitat, Behavior, and Evolution of P. peoplus
