Thanks, Jessica and amych. Miss Manners would be worthless to me since I know the bride and groom but not the families. I'll try those websites.
Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.
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.
And Target it is. I wish I'd been a little more ahead of the game. I would've gotten some people to pool resources to get the Roomba they registered for.
I have named the new iPod mini "Bob".
Inspired by your dance moves?
I woke up with one live spider and one dead millipede- in pieces- on me. I have the feeling I should just write this day off.
No, I've seen this movie, you've been sucked into a nefarious web (heh) of deceit and betrayal, and it's up to you to discover who wanted teh millipede dead and whether the spider's being framed. Good luck. I expect that when you confront the Big Bad (drawn in like a moth to a flame) you'll find he knows all your plans, as your apartment has been bugged.
No, not buggered, bugged. I may be Australian, but I still have a modicum of self-control.
I love the Eighties is making me want a Tears for Fears cd. In much the same way that The Amazing Race makes me want to visit Switzerland.
My brother has Songs From The Big Chair. But has never been to Switzerland. Thus nature balances itself.
OK, remember the talk of tv-"swears" for dubbing? On Cold Case just now, they used two in a row, all on purpose -- first "same shed, different tool," then "back the truck up." Made me laff.
I am still full from brunch. That can't be right.
Also, you yourself don't suck, Allbelle.
That's Teppy's job.
Oh, Perkins. I retired from that job LONG ago, since you do SUCH a good job at it!
Poor, delusional Teppy. How are you feeling, and how was the shindig?

I can't remember what interview and where, or even who it was (though I suspect it was someone involved with NYPD Blue on NPR), but they said not swearing actually made them be more vulgar because they had to be more explicit with the words surrounding the non-curse. He was saying something like you substitute any nonsense word for the actual offensive word, but surround it with more descriptive words.
Hey, we have less than 200 posts left. Do you think we can kill the thread tonight, before the naming debate has time to happen?
YES!
