Just call me the Unknown Person, and I'll dig up a paper bag to wear over my head.

But 'Person Unknown' has that cool word-order switching thing going on. Kind of 'Person from Porlock', you know? Whereas 'Unknown Person' is just a statement of fact.

How about THE Unknown Person?
And where do you get off being so funny in COMM, Yarkona? Am I allowed to quote a COMM post in COMM? Or should I quote it in another thread since it's already in COMM to begin with?
Oh, I am now The Confused Unknown Person.

It's fun being snarky in COMM. It really eliminates the middleman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'know, we do try to keep this a natter-minimal zone. FYI.

Sorry, Jesse.
Schmoker, there is some tradition of 'I'd like to COMM post ####, COMM thread'. Can't see an example quickly.
t /natter. really.

Typo boy: OK quick help - does 11 X 17 = one of these sizes: Ledger, executive, statement?
If not, what are the alternate terms for it. I'm trying to find what printers can handle what paper, and I don't know what the terms mean.
~ a few posts pass by ~
Typo boy: OK used better google tactics this time. 11 x 17 = ledger.
Hope no one went to any great trouble.

ita: Whew. I've applied the last coat of clear satin finish to the desk I stained yesterday. The pie has 20 minutes left to go.
I am so freaking tired. But at least I have 2 hours to rest up before krav.
I'm pretty optimistic about this piecrust (from America's Test Kitchen), though I was on the brink of giving up because it was so freaking hard to work with. I feel it will flake. I like running through different recipes, since it gives you a good sense of applied pie mechanics.
I still can't say "pie" properly. I've been Weebled. In fact, I have been known to (but not been witnessed) to chant "pie" (look! I just did it) at random, but pie-related moments.
