I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Starting with, it's staying at his home instead of going to the home of the newlyweds?

Yeah but -- they probably didn't want a giant stone cross looming over them in their townhouse, y'know? It probably makes starting out as newlyweds feel a little Spanish Inquisition.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

La Tep has an excellent point -- it may very well have been a case of "Oh, ... THANKS, Dad! I'd just hate to take it away when it looks so perfect in this spot right here!"

Whoo-hoo! The Chicago Shakespeare Theater has won this year's regional Tony!! That makes Chicago the first city to win four regional awards (Steppenwolf Theatre in 1985, Goodman Theatre in 1992, and Victory Gardens Theater won in 2001).

But they were introduced by Rove so perhaps a Spanish Inquisition vibe is appropriate?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And now I just finished one of those things that was really late, so I kept putting it off more and more, since, you know, maybe everyone would forget? EXCEPT THEY DON'T. And actually finishing it was actually to my advantage, but just ugh. Is the thing.

In my world, ugh is always the thing.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

every language and dialect is rule-bound*.

Nutty, I was thinking that in fact lolspeak would provide a perfect example for explaining Chomsky stuff. Because nobody sat down to write the lolspeak grammar, and none of you ever sat down to learn it -- but you KNOW when something is wrong.

Yes, I said "Chomsky stuff." I'm not sure why. Here I mean Chomsky grammar stuff, not Chomsky politics stuff, or Chomsky, what, nuclear hydrodynamics stuff.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Tep, amych, I can only sidestep into my best Christine Lavin voice and say, "What was he thinking?" Giving a gift to someone with the idea of keeping it at your house is stilll very much WTF.
