A passing puzzlement:
The word "herb." Pronounced with the H or without? Discuss.
I pronounce it "erb".
edit: "herb" as in "herbs & spices," not the name.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New thread, coming soon to a posting board near you: "What Should I Have for Lunch?"
Maybe it could be combined with: "What I had for lunch"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"erb" is an illegal drug. "Herb" is a more generic term for various plants.

My teamleader prounounces it "herb", which makes me feel like I'm correcting her or somehow twitting her when I say "erb."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Plants get no H from me.
I did get the patty, FYI.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have that TGIF gift card I haven't been arsed to sell. Maybe I should crack it open for lunch today. And in that strip mall is a BedBath&Beyond, for which I also have a gift card ... hmm.
Use 'em. Especially if the monthly fees are about to kick in.
