Hey, all. Silly question: is there a polite way to tell someone he has no manners? Besides giving him a hand-annotated copy of Miss Manners?Raised eyebrows and stunned silence.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I really don't want to go into work. I think I'll check and see if there's anything in my email. Edit: awesomely, there is not one thing that needs a response in my email, even after being out of the office last Weds-Fri, thanks to most of my department being out with me.

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

Hmm... I think it depends on the specifics. Maybe when this person does the un-manner-like thing, you could call him on it. As opposed to just making a general "your manners suck" (but in a more mannerish way) statement.

One of Scott's friends used to answer, "May," to that question. If the person who asked then said, "May what?" the friend would answer, "May the day never come."

So if there are only 10 Buffistas, I have a very important question:
WHO AM I SOCKING FOR?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Now I have to go back and read the last three days of posts, don't I?
Crap.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I very quickly switched over to cheating on that game. Now I can satisfy my need for completion and my dislike of crazy word association games.

It was a fun conversation, and not (thank all that is holy) an earnest one.
