I was lucky enough to be invited by a guy who had an extra ticket. It was fabulous night.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The difference between lay and lie is that lay is transitive and lie is intransitive.I was in the hospital (visting, not admitted) for a long time tonight and there was a sign on the wall asking visitors not to lay on the beds.
It had already been corrected by someone else. Which pleased me.
I could just imagine someone there, staring at it and *having* to correct it because if you are going to be staring at the same, damn thing for hours, it best be gramatically correct.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I was visiting at the police station and saw "This way to the breathilizer" on two separate signs. As twitchy as my hand was, reaching for the Sharpie in my bag? I resisted. I had no wish to fight a defacing of public property charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some things have a way of working themselves out.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's what post-its are for.
A woman on the phone yesterday said "supposibly" to me. I manfully refrained from telling her it was not yet a word.

What is even happening?
A woman on the phone yesterday said "supposibly" to me. I manfully refrained from telling her it was not yet a word.I hate that one. Hate. But at this point, I'm ready to give in, and accept it as a new word, because I think I hear it more often than supposedly.

I was curious about this one, and so googled. And while I wish I could get a rubber stamp made up that read, "Did you mean:" like Google puts atop their pages, or maybe take a page out of DCJ's book, and get the message pre-printed on Post-It Notes, there does seem to be at least one "breathilizer" out there, or at least a company that will market breathalizers to the spelling impaired.

Strawberry disappointment.
Watching a game of footie the other day and the commentator said that "[the manager] would be more pleaseder, with the second-half performance."
I gagged.
