The news tells me that Coleman has conceded in Minnesota. My streak of political prediction fail continues. I really should be a pundit.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a note in my car now, although I can tell by the dust it's been a day or three since they washed it. I don't know why they do--it used to be that the construction guys worked right near it and messed it up and boxed it in all the time, but not so much anymore.
Why does Azarenko think it's okay to make that noise every time she hits the ball? Did no one tell her to be embarassed? She's squealing. It's untoward.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is the screeching Portuguese teenager out of the match yet? Perhaps Azarenko thinks she has to take up the slack?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Somewhere I read about how annoying many of the women are when they grunt as they hit the ball. Are the women grunting (or screeching) in a more annoying fashion than the men?

High-pitched noises are more painful to the ear than lower-pitched ones in general. I'm surprised Newt's screams didn't drive the Queen Alien to space herself before Ripley had a chance to do it.

It's higher in pitch and therefore, I think registers higher in decibels.
A lion's roar is reckoned to reach 110 decibels. Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, who says she grunted since the age of four and cannot help it, has been measured at 101.

Azarenka doesn't grunt, not even a feminine grunt. She squeals. I don't like grunting, but I can get past it. She sounds like an animal in pain.

I would have to say that I think that there are more women making a noise than men.
