Yeah, the code switching I am familiar with is shifting language use specific to company.
Never heard of it in the context of the other, so I think someone should mail them a correction on that point.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
DH got quoted by the NYT, which has made his day:
Sparky, that is seriously exciting!

I need a quick sanity check from Buffistas who are around tweens and teens more often than I am: kids who are considered "preps" don't dye their hair wacky colors like blue or purple, right?
(I'm working on a new GCS column, and have a letter from a cranky babybat about how her parents won't let her dye her hair black, only purple or blue, and that her parents think she's a PREP, OMG. Poor confused babybat.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Odd colored hair is rebellion, so not likely to be preppy
But I don't see a lot of preppy kids in CA. Not even on the street.
Of course my sister who was very preppy since birth has bright pink ends on the back of her head. ( she is 40 now)
So that isn't helpful
yay for mac

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am wondering how one confuses preppy and goth. I am also wondering about being OK with purple hair or blue hair but drawing the line at black. Seems arbitrary to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Like, from 2001 to 2007, I think, I visited every year except maybe one.
So I moved here and you stopped coming. I SEE HOW IT IS.

That seemed odd to me too. Black is a hair color that is more or less found on people's heads naturally.... purple and blue not so much.
I accidentally dyed my hair purple once. It was awesome.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I accidentally dyed my hair purple once. It was awesome.
I am of the opinion that any circumstances that could lead to an accidental dye job are prima facie awesome.
I too find the colour thing odd. Is it because blue and purple are perky or something, while black is too Wednesday Addams?
