Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

AUGH.

There is a client sitting in the reception area who keeps snorting and snorting and hocking and SNORTING. Would it be wrong if I chucked a couple of Benadryl over the side of my cube, and screamed for her to get out get out get out?

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

"Your date's over, mister." - cool article about two women in a bar who spotted a guy trying to slip a drug into his date's beer.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I love the serial comma fight! I'm for 'em, but most places I've worked have been a'gin 'em.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

The New Yorker does Children's Interpretations of Grown-Up Conversations: [link]

GRANDMOTHER: Did you see the politics? It made me angry.

DAD: Me, too. When it was over, I had sex.

UNCLE: I’m having sex right now.

DAD: We all are.

MOM: Let’s talk about which kid I like the best.

DAD: (laughing) You know, but you won’t tell.

MOM: If they ask me again, I might tell.

Oh, David, I read about that in a couple different places. In some european crazy futuristic tech robot magazine, the author took some kind of pills that had memory-loss side affects to see how much he actually could remember.

I don't remember that.

The status is NOT quo.

Whether you are for or against the serial comma, this is just crazy talk:

One use of a comma is as a replacement for "and" or "or," so to use a comma before the last word in a series is to say, for example, "the flag is red and white and and blue."

I agree. In fact, I'm afraid that she would fall into the dreaded GRAMMAR SNOB category, according to June Casagrande. Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies is the BEST grammar book I have ever read because it points out all of the inconsistencies from style guide to style guide. It's also laugh-out-loud funny. (Every Buffista should read and love it.)
