"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.

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

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?

No.

Incredibly disgusting snorting client has left the building. Thank you, snotty baby Jesus.

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.

Crazy science - drugs to erase traumatic memories

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.

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.)

I vote that when Daisy Jane comes to visit -- and, later, when Allyson makes it up for a weekend -- we all go to that bar and leave those women great whopping tips. They just seem like DJ and Allyson's kind of women (and in the alternate universe where Allyson is a bartender, I can totally hear her saying "Your date's over, mister," though I think she would punctuate the statement with a golf club or baseball bat upside the asshole's head).

(Possibly also brenda.)
