it's a von trapp!

killing some time before i meet a friend, i peruse craigslist (still hopelessly thinking there'll be a note to me and also my other procrastination technique—trying to figure out the wiring on my speakers so i can switch speakers because i currently have three sets of them in my bedroom and want to upgrade but am stereophonically challenged—isn't working). i comes across the following hed (that's headline to you non-journo types):

PLUMMER LOOKING TO LAY PIPE///NSA////SERIOUS

and all i can conjure is the lovely baronness, cigarette holder delicately in hand, purring 'oh, georg!' as maria looks jealously on.

but maybe the poster is thinking more along the lines of the thornbirds or syriana. that last a much more insidious sort.

and maybe too nsa does not mean the national security agency, but something else. entirety.
