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?).

fang lewdness

This is the entire definition of True Blood, I'm pretty sure.

- t, ignore ita. She's trying to fence us in. But she cannot. We are like Honey Badger, we don't give a shit.

Or, as autocorrect woold like me to say, fang lewdness.

Hey now (hey now now), I haven't worn my fangs since last week.

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above...

Google Ngrams searches the content of Google Books for word or phrase frequency. Very useful for things like the current topic. More: [link]

I suppose "another thought coming" is out of the question.

I'm agnostic on pipe/pike. Either one would make sense to me if someone said it.

Down the pole is right out, unless you're referring to a stripper or a fireman.

Thing & Pike! 4evah!

Yep.

First day at the new job. There's going to be a whole lot of me making up tasks for myself. What's a good resource for a Mac person to figure out how to deal a PC/Outlook/etc?
