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.
tommyrot is going all Farscape.
PMM, I found stuff like this while idly surfing the web:
[Jen Coat of Arms] Spelling variations include: Saint Jean, Jean, Geon, Jeans, Jeane, Geans, Gen, Le Jean, Des Jeans, De La Geon, Saint-Jon, Saint-Geans and many more.
First found in Languedoc, where the family was seated since ancient times.
I like the last bit of the AP Colbert article.
Colbert, who referred on his program to the AP omission as a "journalistic travesty," said Thursday that it was similar to the much-criticized weapons of mass destruction reporting leading up to the Iraq War.
"Except," he said, "people got hurt this time."
AMYCH! I need a proper-sounding Frenchish last name for J'onn, who is now Jean, tall and imposing and strikingly bald with deep olive skin and russet brown eyes.
And I think I need a keeper.
Ahahahahahaha!!!!
The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition for "truthy" dating back to the 1800s. It's defined as "characterized by truth" and includes the derivation "truthiness."
Michael Adams, a visiting associate professor at North Carolina State University who specializes in lexicology, pointed to that definition and has said Colbert's claim to inventing the word is "untrue." (Adams served as the expert opinion in the initial AP story.)
"The fact that they looked it up in a book just shows that they don't get the idea of truthiness at all," Colbert said Thursday. "You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut."
Colbert really has to stop this. If he makes me one iota more smitten with him than I already am, I may have to challenge Robin for his hand. Which would likely earn me the scrappy stomping of my life.
Which would likely earn me the scrappy stomping of my life.
And a crying Hecubot.
And to make it all Buffista related, I interviewed Michael Adams about Slayer Slang, the book erinaceous edited for OUP.

So does that make all of us 3 degrees away from being the Number 1 threat facing America?
Yes sir, it does. We're all being wiretapped.
