Allyson, out of tape? Want me to get more for you? Also, no day off sucks and is unamerican.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And also with "aunt"
In 9th grade English, my teacher asked to to raise our hands if we pronounced "aunt" as "ant" or "awnt." I was the only one in the class who pronounced it "awnt." So at some point I decided to conform and pronounce it "ant." I pronounced it that way for years. Now I've sorta' switched back to "awnt."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ant and off-en here. I also say "mirror" as meer, from being brought up in Milwaukee.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't say the t in often, and pronouncing height with a th sound at the end is one of my pet peeves.
Hmm... I didn't even think about the third pronunciation.
You've got:
HeighT (where you say the "t")
Heigh
t
(where you sort of swallow the "t"/make it nearly a "d")
Heighth
I deffinately do the second -- pure Jersey T. Acting school really didn't train that one out of me. (So much so that it didn't even occur to me that I wasn't pronouncing the "t".)

All you people who don't pronounce the 't' in height must be height.
Sorry....

I'm at work today, too, but I'm good with that since all the no-long-weekends this fall lead to a full week off next week for Thanksgiving.
Don't hate me. I swear I earn it!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Skydiver Found Dead 2 Days After Jump
ROSHARON, Texas -- A missing skydiver thought to have gone home after not returning from a jump was found dead two days after his parachute apparently failed to open, authorities said.
Scott Bell, 35, was found Friday in an overgrown field about a mile from the Skydive Spaceland hangar where he worked, Brazoria County Sheriff's Lt. Russ Baker said. The maintenance worker had jumped Wednesday.
Bell lived in a trailer on the company's property. Baker said co-workers didn't find it unusual when they didn't see Bell following the jump.

One way to avoid the clothing crisis - work in your bathrobe.
For as much as I complain about my job, I do like that I can work from home when needed.
At the moment I'm in my robe, under a comfy blanket, with hot tea and some dried fruit, tapping away. I have 3 hours of productive work under my belt already today.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sad and awful way to go, but shouldn't there be check-in procedures in place any time someone skydives? Like, serious ones?
