Trust my rage

My brother just sent this to me and it's pretty funny. I would try to describe but I"m having trouble finding words. It is, however, completely work safe.

Quisiera el bistec bien asado.

ARGH.

Must study more and yet oddly uncompelled.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

This Salon article on Social Security benefits immensely from what I assume is a misplaced comma:

So far the gambit has yielded little success; even Democrats, who've previously been friendly to Bush's domestic policies, are now expressing unambiguous opposition to this idea.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just e-mailed the Chicago Tribune about the very cute photos from the Westminster Dog Show that they have linked from the main page. Adorable pics, but the caption writer has "its" and "it's" confused, which is my main grammatical pet peeve. It's a really nitpicky reason to e-mail them, but I just had to vent--I expect to see such mistakes in the Joliet paper, but not the Tribune.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I love that part of the Trib website, grammatical errors or no--it was my favorite thing to lookat in the morning at work this summer.

I'm watching the Dog Show now. It's so fun, but the commercials are making me cry. I'm such a sap for dogs.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

"Dog Show" & "pet peeve". hehehe

Going nuts now. :P
