Pike is like turnpike, right?

Don't disagree with me; I am a damn zombie now and I will eat your brains.

I realize that most people didn't grow up where one of the major highways is almost always just called "The Pike," like I did. So coming down the pike just makes obvious sense in my head.

I'm not coming into the office tomorrow, woo! But I will work from home some. So that's good. I just could not be more distracted and less able to focus on work right now.

Thing & Pike! 4evah!

Yup.

Zombies and Cyborgs abounding on the board.

The main road where I grew up is called "Ohio Pike," so that makes sense to me.

Zombies and Cyborgs abounding on the board.

Dude, when I get the implant, that should technically make me both a zombie AND a cyborg.

I look forward to ruling the puny humans with my cyborg tooth and zombie jaw.

I've never heard it as another *think* coming. The -k sound at the end of "think" and the hard -c at the beginning of "coming" just don't work for me. Clearly, it's "thing."

I am Steph. In fact, until this discussion it never would have occurred to me that it was "another *think*" coming".

I have no idea what a Google ngram is (Seriously, do they just pull applications out of their asses? What is the justification process?) but since they clearly agree with me, they must be a good thing.

Pike is like turnpike, right?

Yes.

My god, I can't believe how many of you are wrong about "another think". I really thought this would be a bastion of sanity in the imbroglio of wrongness that is the Internet. It seems I have nowhere to turn. I must ask my sister--if she's not with me, I will stand with just the few right-speaking Buffistas, but proudly nonetheless. And the ngrams (Is that a Google Scientology thing? I'm still reading stuff--the contingent of practitioners that have left the main church because they feel it no longer hews to LRH's words is fascinating--they still believe, but Miscavige is a bad man, so they practice the old way, among themselves)

Think and pike! Wrongheadedness, other people!

In unrelated news, isn't there an app for OMG I've been dead stopped on the interstate for forty fucking five minutes now, how can I route around the apparent motherfucking semi on motherfucking fire some mythical four miles ahead?

Why? It's new, and you apparently like those fancy newfangled things, hmm??

Pretty sure my second sentence explained my position. I feel no need to maintain consistency vis-a-vis old vs. new fangledness. Or, as autocorrect woold like me to say, fang lewdness.

Although, in my head, the "pike" referred to is the fish. No, I dont know how that works, but that's my association. "Thing", of course, can be anything, including a thought. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Tep, I don't know how I feel about Dora and Tai, but I'm probably more for than against. They've been flirting for forever, and I kind of like Marten without a love interest (although that can't last, can it?).
