Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

huh, turns out that making a salad dressing with a base of .25 cup of olive oil throws off my fat intake. I mean, this is a big salad, it is 3 meals as the only entree, but still, .07 of a cup is too much. grr.

My mom would think LOLcats were funny...I need to show her some. Because I tried to explain it and got "?!"
