I need to put red accents on the black sweatshirt. Also need to add a drawstring to the black sweatpants so they do not fall off.

Isn't that sort of like the language from Mars Attacks, where the same set of syllables could translate as anything depending on the situation?

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

Nope. Just a cellphone and a slice of pizza.

Because books.

I think that roughly translates as, "If left unattended, there's every chance I will smear snot on your pants," tommy.

Someone at the dog park used a very buffista phrase about her dog going at something "like a monkey at a cupcake"

I just think that they *should* be edited.

I have had other bloggers tell me I'm a crazy person for having beta readers for GCS columns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's your reputation! Why would you not want to look good?

I just found full service gas near my home. Freaky.

I was once in a coffee house with a political blogger (the type that appears on the News Hour). He knew I was a good proofer and asked me if I would check his post before he put it up. I asked him what I always ask friends in this situation, that is, "Do you really want me to check it? Because I will find something." Oh, yes. I made it about halfway before he made it clear he'd rather post it as is. I don't get that.

I'm getting very bummed about the election. I keep hoping the American people are going to surprise me, but I'm very afraid that the stupid people are going to go to the polls and not the intelligent people who are pissed that things aren't changing as fast as they want them to and are going to "punish" the people they voted for by letting them get voted out. Yeah, that's going to help.
