With mouse hovering over the link, I saw "ampersandy" and thought, "Hmmm, that's got to be an apostropher parody site." After clicking and having my hopes cruelly dashed, I got to thinking about what an apostropher parody site could possibly look like. The mind boggles.
Anyway, sabbaticals in Italy are definitely something to be envious about. Door-to-door skills, probably not so much.
(I feel as though I should include some sort of disclaimer about how it's probably hard to pick up on sarcasm and stuff when reading a blog in a language that's not your native language. But I'm not going to.)
nepotism?

I guess I'll never know what Labs is talking about.

"A-man" because his name is Andy; "nepotism" because I'm linking it because I know him, not because the content is, on its own, so clickworthy.

Dave, aren't you the one who insisted that they have email in Sweden? Why do we indulge you?

They don't have sarcasm there, though.

Hmm. That's a tough one.

As a non-native speaker myself, I can attest that I've taken everything ever written here completely in earnest.

Yeah, and you already pointed what I said. I'm going to go teach logic now.

Well, I figured you weren't serious, but the joke didn't make much sense out of context.

i.e. your posts about the grad student, etc.
not sure it quite worked then either, but then i don't have a sense of humor.

Rereading the post, dunno if that holds up. I guess I don't have a sense of humor.
