I've been to brewpubs that call them "flights."
Me, too. And now I really want to try both bacon and gelato flights.
[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.

well, there's that. No, you're right.
Just now back at work, had to run some errands. Man, this would all be a lot easier if I weren't stupid tired. /capn obvs
smonster needs a transporter.
I've been seeing a phrasing on a lot of craigslist ads around here lately that I don't think I've ever seen before: this needs [verb]ed. Like, "the hinges need replaced," or "the upholstery needs cleaned" or "the table needs refinished" or things like that. Is this a Pennsylvania thing?
Dunno about that.
My boss just put up signs in our building that say, "This door is alarmed."
I feel bad for the poor doors....
Hil, I first encountered that here in Washington State. Never before.

We have that all over the doors in our stairwells, and I never fail to feel for the doors either.
Hush, poor door. Calm down.
This reader needs de-lurked...
Hil, that's a Pittsburgh thing; we drop the "to be" all the time. I was well into my 20s before I knew that saying "My hair needs cut" was wrong. I try not to do it in written form now, but I can't eradicate it from my speech; it's too set-in.
Is this a Pennsylvania thing?
Yup.
Or what Mala said. But I don't agree that it's "wrong", per se, though if someone's formatting is against regionalisms I'd accept the foul. (Though I might not change it because I'm stubborn like that)
