Here's a pretty basic oxymoron for you: "dry hydro"

As in the Power Wave Dry Hydro Massage Bed. In Scotland, license owner David Nelson explained the concept of the patented system, designed to assist mental relaxation and physical rejuvenation:

"There is no need to disrobe or get wet. A high volume, high pressure wave of water is directed at the system’s waterproof surface barrier and a wave is produced which travels up and down the body."

I heard it through the grapevine

Candidate Dave conflated with blogger:



According to a May 9 post on the Carbondaley Dispatch:

"Alto Fest brought out hundreds of people over the weekend, including author Peter Delacorte and C. David Nelson, Dem. candidate for States Attorney in Saline County, who received an uncoveted 'Soggy Award' from this blog for outstanding blogging in Southern Illinois: actually, Dave has two: a campaign blog, and a whimsical blog about guys named 'Dave Nelson.' Writer Delacorte does not blog though, but enjoys word gaming on Yahoo."

The Ballad of Davids Nelson

It takes a while to download this 4.3MB .mp3 file, but of course it's well worth it to David Nelson fans.

Rick writes about Dave.

Alabama Dave is on the no-fly list, too



(Even though he's in security himself.)

Dave the architect on how design influences achievement:

"As you study, your mind becomes very focused on your project and you keep thinking even when you stop for a break. If, at that moment, you interact with other people, your thinking actually improves because your mind is freer and the ideas flow. One university department claimed that more science was invented in its cafe than in the lab. If we design a more responsive set of spaces to encourage interaction, we create a more academically productive environment."

Professor Dave says something is broken

In response to the latest census of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the associate professor and chair of the newspaper department at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism opined:

"There's something broken with the system if almost two-thirds of the people who are studying journalism are female and less than half of the journalists working in newsrooms are women."
