I plan on not blowing up. I think I will turn off the dishwasher so the water heater isn't running. Because I can't think of anything useful to do.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
We just got an SAE from a site in England. For the patient's race, they did not choose "Caucasian." They chose "Other." And added "White British."
When I was applying for some jobs in England, the form I had to fill out had three white options -- "White British," "White Irish," and "White Other."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So if you're, say, half White British and half White Irish, what are you? Does that make you White Other?

Timelies all!
All of the food-stuffed-into-other-food items mentioned above sound vile to me. I really don't need the equivalent of a couple days worth of calories in one meal, thank you very much.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So Emmett and I had this conversation on the way home after parking the car and I think Buffistas will appreciate it.
Emmett: [Blah blah]...only cool people get to do it.
Me: I'm cool!
Emmett: You are vainglorious.
Me: Nuh uh. I was being ironic.
Emmett: No, you were being boastful and you didn't care what anybody else thought about it. Lawyered! And definitionized!
Me: Okaaaaay. On another subject, I'm glad you took care of that backlog of Bio homework.
Emmett: My teacher was deprecating me, but I totally ameliorated that situation.
Me: Uh....Hey look! A Puggle!
Emmett: There's a paucity of puggles.
Me: Are you just using all your vocabulary words from last week in a sentence?
Emmett: I didn't even know what "ameliorate" meant last week!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm afraid it could obscure some of the instruments.
I've never actually seen one mounted on the pushrod like that. More usual is to velcro it to the middle of the yoke. Still easy to see, and doesn't cover up any other display.

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

Haaaa. That's the classic SAT word. It's the free SAT vocab card you get in the mail from those companies that want to sell you SAT vocab cards.
