Go team Shrift!

Heh. Recalling it went something like this:

Betsy: ...the rhetorical term for the part used to represent the whole.
Me: I know that word. It's -- t mem-fault
Word: t poof
Me: Crap. Okay. It sounds like... Mnah mnah?
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Metonymy
Me: Closer than the Swedish Chef, yet not quite the thing with the thing what means the thing. Bork bork bork!
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Synecdoche.
Me: My English degree is ashamed to be seen in public with me now, isn't it.

It's so odd how Minearverse has become the de facto gender studies thread.

Kristen just AIMed me:

Her: I take it Tim posted?

Me: Nature v. Nurture debate

Ah ha ha, Allyson!

Although as far as I can tell, it isn't even nature vs nurture, as most people seem to be putting them together in one messy category.

I'm too out of it to weigh in on the issue. Suffice to say that this morning reminded me that I, at least, am different from the majority of men I know in at least one way: the way I behave in a fight.

Me: Nature v. Nurture debate

You forgot this part:

Me: DUDE! That conversation is SO totally following you.

Me too! Groin kicks, right?

Not that kind of fight, but thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind.

Now we should talk about ita's cupcakes, which (I understand) bring all the boys to the yard.

I hear she hoards them. The cupcakes, that is. Well, come to think of it, she may be hoarding the boys as well, but I suppose I've got me own boy, so I really don't begrudge her that.

She hasn't got the Dutch Cocoa. She's not all that.
