As long as we're talking about "cot/caught" and "Mary/marry/merry" and "pen/pin" mergers;
How many of us have the "Sir?/Hey, asshole!" merger?

[Aurora Rossa]

From the thread on "To win the future" that Viktor started:

There's a je ne sais quoi about the verb "to win" with the noun "future."

Viktor, there's a tu ne sais quoi about everything.



yes, this is a bitten rhyme. You know who you are.

Not likely, since they lived well away from the Black areas (remember that segregation was still in place and that Black people were not evenly distributed throughout the state).

So where exactly was this cordon sanitaire which divided the certified negerfrei zones where your ancestors originated from the rest of the state?

In response to dhokarena's "first sentences from his first novel" in the "Happy Things" thread.

I'm sure there are people who work 75 hours a day, if not 100.

Also, Chuck Norris will be over shortly to roundhouse kick you for dismissing his films as "jingoistic schlock fests."

Well-placed kicks are no substitute for cinematic artistry or political sophistication.

Oh, and the "cute Briddish accent"... *vomits tea all over his crumpets, pinches a fag off some tart then pulls the first bird he sees*

From St. Patty's Day thread:

I am rampantly Goidelophobic.

Holy fucking shit-shit, the double standard reveals itself once again. Someone direct their outrage toward this guy before I declare this forum completely morally bankrupt.

hurf I'm eddy durf I don't understand sarcasm

Nice try, but you clearly aren't Eddy. Your avatar doesn't even match, for one.

An extreme solution:
During some sports event, wait for halftime, then, wearing nothing but your best running shoes, run across the stadium. If you're too shy to do that yourself, pay someone else to do it and then later claim it was you. Odds are someone will want to talk to you about it. If it's campus security ask one of them out.

Not to be picky, but I think the first two of those semicolons are a little odd, and should perhaps rather be commas; they are not separating complete clauses.

I think you're right. Myself I always hated the semicolon and I will go out of my way to avoid its usage. It's just a stupid punctuation mark. Now the em-dash, now there's a punctuation mark after my own heart!

If it can't be approached with philosophical answers, it's not a practical problem, only a neurosis.

An Eddy Classic from, of all places, the dream thread:

I had a dream in which I was reading the St Louis Post-Dispatch and it was denouncing a plan by Obama to overhaul and improve public schools as "Leninist", on the front page no less. At least, I think it was a dream since I can't actually remember where or when I saw that. Although given the political outlook around here, it would not surprise me if that really did happen at some point.
