[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I was verbally spanked with the Fear of God, along everyone else in my ancient Rome class, to read our damn articles.

And when they say read, they mean "memorize everything that we might feel asking about." The system is that "in order to get to know the names of the people in the class", they pick one randomly out of the students list, and point the "trivial question" to them.

Fear. Fear and horror. Fear and horror and... ack. Something else that's feared and horrified.

(I was lucky and wasn't called this time, but I'm still shaking.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fear. Fear and horror. Fear and horror and..

An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was there a comfy chair?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I don't know.

I read the articles.

But the way they asked the questions... I just wanted to bury myself, you know?

Yeah, some nostril work. Maybe eyes, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I can't think of a sentence where "None is" would be more appropriate than "None are," so I'ma vote plural.

I wouldn't say that. Take something like "I can think of three options, and none of them is appropriate." I think the difference is whether the items that make up the "none" are acting individually or in concert. So I would lean towards "none of the staff are coming to the meeting" but "I invited 20 people to my party and none of them is coming."

In both cases, "are" would not strike me as incorrect, but "is" seems to carry a little more nuance. OTOH, you could solve the whole problem by using not one instead of none which would clearly call for the singular. Or would it...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thank you for the well-presented Intro to Cancer Pharmacology course. I thought the content was interesting and the drug information was compiled in a thorough manner.

Woo! Man, I am so glad it didn't turn out to be the disaster I thought it would be.

I know that this is not the worst thing in the world, but I don't like this.

THis is so outside of his job description

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

THis is so outside of his job description

Well, that's problematic. It's one thing if that's what he signed up for, but if it isn't...I hope they are at least apologetic about it.
