Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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!!!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eddie's in the space time continuum.

Despite that, I still hate the world. Maybe fries will work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The day I moved to San Francisco, a multi-year drought ended. It rained for something like 20 days in a row, setting a new record.

You fucker! I loved that drought. Thanks a lot, The Honorable Mr. Drizzle (fo shizzle), DDS, Esq.

And a crying Hecubot.

Eh. She's all talk. She'd never break up a devout Catholic's marriage.
