Way to show me up again, apostropher.

It's like we have some mystical connection.

In my pants.

Hmmmmmmm Ohhhhhhhhkaaaayyyyyy.

I am feeling a heretofore unfelt desire to renounce my heterosexuality.

Hmmmmmmm Ohhhhhhhhkaaaayyyyyy.

Careful with that.

I am feeling a heretofore unfelt desire to renounce my heterosexuality.

Me too. . .

I'm gay.

That's great.

MAE, that's awesome. "Allez!"

Well, MAE, we already knew that. Your website says so.

I know -- I feel like a slacker for not posting but there's just nothing that's caught my eye to talk about. But then I remind myself that I'm not an Unfogged slacker because I'm having like 50 of y'all over on Saturday night and am spending my free time trying to figure out how we're going to make that happen.

I'm gay.

I'm sensing some sexual tension between Tony and Paul as well.

Dude, I'm on vacation, playing with my kids, and cooking. I can't find stuff to blog about and make cassoulet at the same time. (There's some question as to whether I can make cassoulet while not blogging, but that's what I'm going to try to do.)

Guy in red speedos at around 10 seconds in (and again towards the end, I think): nice. I find the non-thong speedos are more flattering.

The comments say that they bunch them up their butts because skin doesn't slide as much as speedo on a wet boat seat.

Eh. Less butts, more boats next time, please.

Less boats, more butts next time, please.

Fewer.

18: Fewer boats or fewer butts?

No I think he was just pointing out that you ought to have requested "fewer" instead of "less" boats.

Oh dear. Fewer boats, then, please.

Hopefully fewer w-lfs-ns.

Strictly speaking, that use of "hopefully" is also ungrammatical. But hey, it's the holiday season.

Strictly speaking, 23 belongs at Standpipe's.

I know 'hopefully' is ungrammatical, but I admit to just giving in and saying it anyway bc so many people say it. It does nag at me everytime I say it, though I'm certainly no w-lfs-n.

The wide acceptance of the usage reflects popular recognition of its usefulness; there is no precise substitute. Someone who says Hopefully, the treaty will be ratified makes a hopeful prediction about the fate of the treaty, whereas someone who says I hope (or We hope or It is hoped) the treaty will be ratified expresses a bald statement about what is desired. Only the latter could be continued with a clause such as but it isn't likely.

Strictly speaking, that use of "hopefully" is also ungrammatical.

Oh come on, ogged, that's just ridiculous. We've been through this before, though.

At my local Trader Joe's, they crossed off the "less" on "10 Items or Less" sign and put in "fewer". Yet another reason I like Trader Joe's.

Oh come on, ogged, that's just ridiculous.

Perhaps, Ben, perhaps. But I remember as if it were yesterday being dinged on a paper in college for using "hopefully" that way. Never again!

Never again!

Hopefully.

I was really wondering if it was going to be worth it for me to come in for two days on the week between Christmas and New Years but I've gotten so much done.

BOW BEFORE ME. I AM THE PRODUCTIVITY GOD.

Where is your shrine, that I might leave there offerings of crumpled, ratty printouts and spaghettic codings?

I will bow before you, Becks, even wash your feet with my grateful tears, if you would write this damn market assessment report for me. I just can't seem to make any progress on it at all.

I think my productivity may have something to do with the unsustainable amount of coffee I've been ingesting this week. God, I miss drinking stomach-lining-eroding amounts of coffee.

34 -- I'm drinking a lot of coffee this week but it does not seem to be having any kind of positive effect on my productivity -- to the contrary.

35 is pretty much how my week is going, too. It's kind of nice after the way things have been the last couple of months, but would be nice to get a couple more things off my desk before the new year starts.

to the contrary

Don't get down on yourself, Clownæ. You seem to be commenting at a pretty good clip.

It's true. Every Yin includes a smattering of Yang.

Becks, I will sacrifice a stack of blank CD-Rs in your honor if you can tell me why I can't get kickstart to work off a USB thumb drive.

I'm sure my boss will be on me about it tomorrow, so please work that divine intervention magic soonest.

I could post about Rocky Balboa if I could post.

(this biscuit in Memory of the Magic Meatman)

Michael, I submit that you should post here, in the comments. Everyone's doing it.

Also: Lisa Lampanelli is painful to watch. This issue has already been mentioned, but it bears mentioning again. For the bears' sake.

WRT my 35 above: I got a job offer today which I have been expecting for a while. I am going to take it! So, I think I will have a lot less time for commenting around here starting in a couple of weeks. So anyways, you guys are the first to know after my wife and me -- I have not even told the purveyors of the offer my decision yet. (Hope I am making the right choice, to go work harder for less money. I would never have imagined how frustrating I am finding it these past couple of years to get paid fabulously well for goofing off.)

So I resolve hereby, to introduce all of my thoughts with "So".

Congratulations, CÆ!

Thanks, Teo!

Of course there are some Australian 'persons', with or without Speedos , who might see your "post" - we don't need the photos to "oggle" at (play on OGGED). "Dudes" is far too American, maybe "blokes" would be a better term for a "septic" (check some Google type search for a definition). Speedos is/was an Aussie icon brand bought on the cheap by some overseas "entity" (again check Google or some such for the true history). Please don't send reply photos (blokes or birds, with or without Speedos).
