It makes me bananas when people pronounce "conch" with a soft "ch". It's KONK, dammit.
I did that for the longest while.
Actually, both are correct. Look it up.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh. Interesting. Now I'm curious how that works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, Tom. My computer is being a pain and won't let me look at the sample PDF chapter right now, but I'll take a look later.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Huh.
Well, I reserve my right to still hate it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Finally watched Supernatural -- good and creepy! Definitely a keep-downloading-er.

Yeah, I liked Supernatural. I'm looking forward to the next couple of episodes. Also liked Threshold, mostly for Peter Dinklage, as I said before. We'll see how that holds up through the next few episodes.

Oh, I almost forgot about Threshold (which I keep thinking should have another 'h' in there). Time to fire up another torrent.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
People writing "in tact" when they mean "intact" makes me want to weep. "Taken for granite" does too.
I'm watching Jeff Corwin catch a black mamba. I love this guy, but why the hell isn't he dead?

SISTER!
(I also weep at "tow the line," "free reign," "Here! Here!" and any number of others.)
