I so enjoyed the most recent ep of True Blood. I will make a better version of this icon, but for now my crude efforts must suffice. Team Russell!
ETA: spruced-up version complete and on this post. I don't know Twilight fandom {*shudder*} so I'm not sure if the proper phrasing is "for Team whoever" or "on Team whoever".

Fake AP Stylebook (Twitter feed). Recent gems - "The passive voice should be avoided by you." "Alcatraz Prison should never be referred to by the colloquial name 'the Rock.' Instead, refer to it by the more formal "Dwayne Johnson."

It's a sort of torture tolerance test
Jul. 14th, 2009 03:00 pmMy spouse sent me this link; it's a sample of - well, really bad writing. It's worse than the worst writing I've encountered as a teacher thus far. I could not finish it. I can't figure out if the "author" is writing this as a joke or not. Apparently Moon People by Dale M. Courtney has quite a following on the Internets. The story involves a man who "use to work for the Government for UFO research", but now he teaches astrology and science at the 12th grade level. The love interest's name is Cheral. So yeah. Read and "enjoy".
It's funny 'cause it's true

The most recent Piled Higher and Deeper is a perfect accompaniment to my studying this week (empirical research). I found this bit especially amusing:
Don't mess with a man's sausage
Feb. 6th, 2008 04:41 pmListen to the complaint of a man whose favorite sausage has been downsized from 16 to 12 oz. He just can't feed a family of five made up in part with three 200+lb men and a "plump woman", with 2 dozen eggs, a t-bone steak, and only 12 oz of sausage, dammit! (A couple of potty-mouth words at the end there, in case you're at work.)
Hammer Pants Time!!
I confess that I owned that pattern and made at least one pair of pants from it. Hey, it was the 1990s!

The National Weather Service is teaming up with someone's mother to write their watches and warnings - check out this advisory:
"A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS... MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES."
In other news, you can't have a BB gun because you might shoot your eye out.
It is zero degrees F outside right now, I think I'll stay in and bake something.
