WTF? Do we really look that old?
Poor Cash's DH. People have kids at a wide range of ages. My sister was a grandma at 39. I'm old enough to be my kids' grandmother. In summary, guy at park = nozzle.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Does anyone get the ad on Facebook for SinglesNet, which is showing a picture of Jensen Ackles as one of the "hot guys" you can meet on SinglesNet. WTF?

Grrr. I've had an earworm of Rush's Tom Sawyer ever since they appeared on the Colbert Report (a week ago at this point). Do. Not. Want.

Yeah, my husband saw the vid of them playing Rock Band and said they lost-- poor Geddy can't hit the high notes anymore.

Dear hivemind, an English question (I've been phrasing it back and forth for quite a few times now, so each of the option sounds wrong to me right now). Is it correct to say the following sentence? If not, how should I re-phrase it?
The larger X is, the better Y may be chosen.
Ta, ever so.
[Edit: oof, each way I write it seems wrong now.]

What does the "better" refer to? Is the act of choosing better, or is the Y better?

If you're saying that a bigger X will, say, give you more information and thus let you get Y closer to what you want it to be, then that construction is good.

Um, choosing a better Y means that Y is better, no? Silly brain. [Edit: obviously an x-post. Thanks, Hil!]
I'm taking a step back here: in general, how to phrase these sentences, of
"the blah-er X is, the blahblah-er Y (is?)"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The more embarassed you are, the redder your face is.
The larger the sample, the smaller the margin for error.
