If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, now that's insane.

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

A lot of insane.

Also, I feel like "Hay is for horses and better for cows" is somehow appropriate here.

My father was very strict about the varying usage of "brought" vs. "took." I fear I cannot recall the distinction myself.

My grandfather had a pet peeve about the misuse of "momentarily," which means "for a moment," not, "in a moment," and always got very annoyed when on an airplane they'd announce, "The plane will be landing momentarity."

My grandmother corrected our pronunciation of Florida and orange if we did not use a short o as in "cot."

It's a wonder I can even make myself understood, I tell you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My mother was very strict about this:

When I was in kindergarten-2nd grade-ish I remember teachers and my parents telling us that you only use the word "done" when referring to food that's baking (or cooking?). Otherwise you were supposed to use the word "finished". So I dutifully followed this rule until I finished high school, at which point I stopped giving a fuck.

It made her nutty if I asked if she was done. She would say "Do I look like a cake????"

She also dislikes the phrase "graduate high school" instead of "graduate from high school"/

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

Maybe I'm confusing Sudafed with something else that makes people sleepy.

Sudafed (at least, the real stuff) is a close relative of speed. Many other cold drugs (especially since Sudafed got harder to get) include a bunch of antihistamines, which are the anti-speed.

For people who've encountered the "done" rule--can you apply "done" to stuff you're cooking, not baking?

OHMYGOD. Looks like the weather is getting DRUNK for St. Pats. [link]

It's supposed to be near or above 60 for the next couple of days.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Momentarily means both for a moment and in a moment, according to Sports Night.

I am at a diner. They have both pie and wifi. I love the future.
