I got 18 out of 20. The ones where the words/names were slanted threw me a bit.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Korea: French fry-coated hot dog
If Coney Island witnessed the birth of the hot dog, Seoul in South Korea saw subsequent generations mutate into a an entirely new genus of animal. An animal coated in a skin of batter and french fries then presented deep-fried on a stick.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I had 20/20, but a few were random guesses pulled out of my hindquarters based on visual memory where knowing the rules wasn't enough to make it clear.

Helvetica doesn't have any slants at all. All the strokes terminate at right angles.
Okay, Tom said this much better than I did. When I said "Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like," what I meant by "things like" was "here are some examples."
Hard to believe I get paid to communicate for a living, huh?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I figured the slant thing out about 1/2 way through the test!

Hey Tep - are you guys having weather in Cincy? My grandmother's flight didn't take off and I'm wondering how long she's going to be grounded.
(It's her 90th birthday this year, so she's coming to NYC with some friends for a Broadway-and-food weekend. All her kids and grandkids and great-grandkid are going to be here too.)

Not really. Spotty drizzly rain at most, but I haven't even seen that. Maybe the plane she was supposed to take was delayed where it was prior to CVG.

We have beautiful blue skies here in Colorado.
My new laptop was just delivered. I want to open and play, but I'm supposed to be working and I have a busy weekend. First world whine.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Granta magazine (out of England) has devoted its entire September issue to Chicago. There's a great article on the city as told by a labor attorney, which starts off with a Blagoyevich rant, proceeds through his hopes for Obama (interview was done in early March), and then ends with the city's geographical location, between the flatness of the prairie and the flat water of Lake Michigan.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Friday afternoon at the first week of my new job, and every single one of my coworkers is out for the day.
It's awfully quiet.
