Thanks for pointing out the authorship, Steph. It would have been sensible of me to do that, huh?
Penis panic. Which is in no way a gross link, or anything. I don't think. But I don't have a penis, and am quite calm about it.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That link seems to lead to a locked post, or some other thing that's giving me just a Word Press error page, ita.
The code seems to be going up and down. Hmm. I clicked on it again and then refreshed and got through.
I said "largely concluded." Thanks for thinking for me, guys!
My maternal grandfather had us all call him "Gaffer" because he didn't like the usual grandpa/granddad/pop options. He was indeed wordy.
You asked her/him to use a book?! No wonder s/he was confused.
I didn't even tell her it was also on Westlaw, just because I'm mean like that.

My point of reference for my above insertions is actually from Tolkien scholarship. Tolkien's use of the term Gaffer for Sam's uncle (I think) was very specifically meant to conjure the image of a chatty/gossipy old fart, through the etymology of the word itself. Tolkien was never one to choose a word casually. I defer to the Professor.
"Gaffer" is actually an Elizabethan word meaning, loosely, "grandfatherly peasant."

I suddenly find myself thinking Elizabethan peasant grandfathers were probably quite the chatty bunch.
So, something just popped up on my iPod.
The song title is in kanji, so I don't know what it actually says. The band is BUMP OF CHIKEN (typo included) and it's off their Greatest Hits cd.
None of this prepared me for song to sound *exactly* like Guns & Roses, Sweet Child 'O Mine...
It's my only BUMP OF CHICKEN. How will I ever know the joy of BUMP OF CHICKEN now? And who can I blame for this?
