My car isn't great at pronouncing things correctly.
My GPS unit is hilarious when it comes to pronouncing place names, especially if there's an abbreviation involved. It cracks me up every time she tells me to take the exit towards Verazzano Branch.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I need to take some time off this summer so I don't lose it, and I'm thinking about just random days.
I really wish I could afford a trip somewhere. I was longing to go to NYC this AM.
I need to get away from work and routine and I need some inspiration. I am pretty much money in and money out lately, and can't fathom putting an entire trip on the CC.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My car isn't great at pronouncing things correctly. It pronounced Touhy (the street) as TAU-hee (rhymes with COW-hee). It's actually pronounced TOO-ee.
Yeah, mine doesn't do too well either. It still pronounces "Lemnos" as "VROOM".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My GPS makes an interesting sort of vowel mush out of Lake Hiawatha.

Yeah, I have one long-weekend trip planned, but that's about it. I can't decide if a week at home is better than five long weekends at home, you know?

I've been thinking about road-tripping later this summer. I'm possibly going camping with some friends in North Carolina, and I'll be in DC the week before, so I'm thinking about driving down there, stopping at Williamsburg and a few other places along the way, and then driving back through the mountains. I found out that there's a vegan B&B in the town where the Waltons lived, so I'm definitely thinking about staying there.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So I read this post about a man who was asked to leave a bookstore because a female shopper complained about him being in the children's section.
So, I was reading the post, nodding along, and then the fourth sentence from the end. It's like the rant carried the person away and what was logic before evaporated into the ether.
Regardless, judging from name alone, I don't think it was only gender that made the person "suspicious" if you catch my drift.

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