Happy birthday, Allyson!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh, there are semi-identical twins.

Huh! We were just talking about fraternal v. identical twins at work, since my coworker looks just like the twin she was always told was fraternal, and I have identical-twin friends who don't necessarily look that much alike. Weird.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLYSON!!!

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

If you have a semi-identical twin, are they more likely to be evil? (Or good, if you're evil?)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My office just had a long debate as to whether this headline is correct: [link]

The issue was the plural possessive. No one -- and I mean NO ONE -- except me thought it was correct.

I won.

The issue was the plural possessive.

How would you pronounce that? Edwardseses?

I was confused for a second - then I remembered that there's two of them. Then it seemed correct to me.

Of course you did, Steph.

Although, it makes me laugh when my cousin (who has a plural-sounding last name, too) sends emails like "The Edwardseseses's new address!"

Because books.

No one -- and I mean NO ONE -- except me thought it was correct.

It's totally correct!

Of course it's correct. There are two people who are named Edwards (Edwardses) and they possess a choice (Edwardses')
