Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think I usually hear bow up here in Seattleland.

I'm still madly in love with our Barista Aroma. Coffee brewed directly into a thermal carafe is almost as good as coffee brewed directly into my veins, and without the nasty IV and scorch marks.

I'm not sure the last sentence there makes any sense.

That's probably because I've only had the one cup of coffee.

Oh, and I love the french press (and ours is about as old as I am, with a triple filter that's just fantastic), but Paul keeps breaking the glass, so they're all out of order at the moment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This (or something similar) might have been posted before, but....

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I am:

  • 75% General American English
  • 15% Upper Midwestern
  • 10% Yankee
  • 0% Dixie
  • 0% Midwestern

I no longer say 'pop' (I say 'soda' now.) I used to as a child but stopped... I forget when. Maybe when I left Wisconsin....

eta: Answering the way I spoke while growing up, I get:

  • 65% General American English
  • 20% Upper Midwestern
  • 10% Yankee
  • 5% Midwestern
  • 0% Dixie

So I've lost some of my regional speaking.... thingie... -ness....

There must be something wrong with them.

They are a really ugly color?

Pop is not a Milwaukee-ism at all. Though bubbler is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

See, that's exactly why I have one glass french press for company, one stainless steel for every day use and one lexan for backpacking and/or visiting people who don't drink coffee.

I liked my Chemex when i had one, but they seem to break more or less spontaneously.

brenda, do let me know if they open up a rift in the space-time coninuum. I don't know why I suspect that they would, but I do.
