Browsie! Love it!
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dear Boss,
I got a note! Also, I'm reliably informed that it's after work hours somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was some excellent eyebrow work, I've got to say. The reason I don't hate those jackasses (yet) is that I still feel like they are playing jackasses. Some pretty ridiculous shit comes out of my mouth, but it doesn't mean I really mean it.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm loving EW's take on last night's TAR, especially about Phil and his eyebrow:
heh heh. My boss and I were just talking about Browsie's reaction to the fratards.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the word "Home" (and in Hebrew, it's the same word for "house", so I like the English distinction between the two better),
The distinction is a fine one, often lost. For example, all those incredibly irritating real estate agents who suddenly in 1998 started calling townhouses "townhomes".
Wrong wrong wrong!! That would be like arbitrarily calling a windshield a "windaegis".
Or, calling a checkbook a "checkfolder".
Or, actually, this is kind of fun: inappropriate compound word substitutions! Everybody skate!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can I go home with amych?

Forgive me, Filliam H Muffman, but I must hereby grant my tagline space to Browsie.

Swouncing
amych (and Dana): of course, relying on my timezones would mean coming here to play with me. It's soon Purim, so I can promise the best cookies of the year, as well as costumes. Wine, too, if you want some.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Quick poll:
If you overheard a colleague use the word "perchance" in everyday conversation, would you immediately suspect him of being a time traveller? I'm not saying he has a time machine on him right now, I just saying he's clearly unstuck in time.
Is that fair? Perchance I am too stuck in my ways?

No, because we talk like that at my office. But we're weird editors like that.
Now, "perforce" -- that's a different story....
