This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No, you must revere the Huxtable sweater! Think! Sick. AND tired!

Um, house, Kate? For reals? Are there, like pictures yet, or are you still in HOMG, house maybe?

I has no useful information on refis, but I wish you well.

As I embrace the poor, loveable wrongheaded thingers.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've always thought it was "thing," but apparently the OED thinks "think." [link]

It's definitely pike, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

When you leave grammar, you've gone to the dark side.

Are you telling me there is no (other) instance of ungrammatical-yet-acceptable-because-amusing plays on words in literature or popular culture? I wish I were more than passing familiar with Shakespeare's works; I'll bet he coined a few of them.

Also, cookies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's not supposed to be grammatical, it's supposed to be amusing! It's a play on words! Why is there no whimsy in your soul?

It's not a play on words; it's a threat! Threats have way more teeth when they're grammatical!

My whimsy was in the tooth that got pulled. I had a whimsectomy.

Please tell me no one here says "for all intensive purposes." Please. Can I cling to that hope?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tep's been de-whimsified! Oh no!

Annie's Boobs! Blorgons!

We may need to install bionic zombie whimsy.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
