It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, except I just noticed an email from my CEO expressly saying to "circulate an envelope with the card," so now I'm even ore WTF?!?!? but now mostly toward my boss.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's a habit from teaching French, where there is almost (see, I can't help myself!) always an exception.
Heh. That reminds me, yesterday, I was talking to one of my classmates about our foreign language exams. We've each got to be able to take a few pages of a math paper written in either French, German, or Russian, and, with the aid of a dictionary, translate it into English. I took French every year from seventh grade through sophomore year of college, so I'm not too worried. My friend doesn't know any of the required languages, but she figures she can wing her way though French. I told her that, since she's got a dictionary, the only things she really needs to know are conjugations of etre, avoir, aller, and faire, plus be able to recognise the conditional verb tenses. She was giving me such strange looks when I showed her some of those conjugations.

Okay. Huge department has been in a meeting for almost two and a half hours, and the baffled and pissy customers we keep turning away are not long for this life. I'm thinking about grabbing my stapler, climbing onto my desk, and flinging myself over the cubicle wall at the next jackass who walks in the door.

Screw Dr. Grammar, because that sentence would be better written with who in place of that.
Exactly.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Are they walk-ins or did they have an appointment?

Arguments over grammar and style are often as fierce as those over Windows versus Mac, and as fruitless as Coke versus Pepsi or boxers versus briefs.
Mac, Diet Coke, boxers.
Next question?

Do we need to throw down? I'll let it go if you will.
