Bwah hah hah! I always feel like this is one of those sites that maybe I shouldn’t laugh at, but I totally can’t help it, because dude, they are funny:
When asking someone about their biggest annoyances in life, you might expect responses like “hunger,” “being poor,” or “getting shot.” If you ask a white person, the most common response will likely be “people who use ‘their’ when they mean ‘there.’ Maybe comma splices, I’m not sure but it’s definitely one of the two.”
Also, Mortimer’s Mom and about 17 other people sent me links relating to these guys, who are my new heroes. BR left a link on my Grammar Girl post to a Chicago Trib article about them, and I knew I loved them as soon as one of them used the word “fisticuffs.” I don’t think I could be that in-your-face about it, however. I’m all about stealth apostrophes.
In other news, I offically have the evening off Mommy duty, and I’m thinking about going to see a movie. Because I have not done that in, um, a long time. I will have to sneak cheap food in because I cannot afford both a movie ticket and expensive movie-theater popcorn, but I don’t even care. I want to see “Prince Caspian” but I also want to see the new Indiana Jones, even if it isn’t that good, because I still lurrrrve Harrison Ford. Even if he’s older than my dad (which he is). I bet you didn’t know I have a major Indiana Jones thing, didya? I have all three movies on DVD. In the collector’s set. And the “dum-da-DUM-dum” bit of the theme song is my ringtone. Shut up.
So should I go see Indiana Jones, even if I’m by myself with no one to squee and clutch with, or Prince Caspian? Any other suggestions? I honestly have no idea what to do with myself. Heh.
Mimi is my oldest daughter; Boo is the youngest. Mimi was adopted; Boo was a surprise. I also have a husband, a teenage stepson, a dog, a cat, a full-time job, a part-time craft obsession, and never enough money. I spend far too much time on the internets and can often be found on Facebook, Ravelry, or the Tarflies forums. My craft (mainly crochet) blog is at Yarn Over and my etsy store is Mimi & Boo..
