What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, I'm serious! It could totally work! It would be awesome!

Television should use homonyms to its advantage more frequently.

What is even happening?

But...homophones, not homonyms (I wouldn't usually do that, but I can't resist with you, Sunil).

I even thought, "Wait, homophones sound the same," which meant I suddenly envisioned homophones as two words that are both spelled the same and pronounced the same and yet mean two different things.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

No, I think that Jack and Sawyer are just good friends.

That's where it catches me up, when it does. I have to remind myself to think through the -nym/name connection first, and then I know the -phone definition by default.

Ha!

I scarred an online friend for life, once, when discussing my love of the TV series Homocide.
