May I ask - was that sign posted at the Columbia County Jail? Because that would be just perfect.

Yeah, you need to buy a stretch-vinyl suit. It breathes. What's more, you can just go into the bathroom and wring it out before and after meeting clients.

And don't worry about the smell. Nothing a pocket full of those car deodorizer trees can't handle.

I was thinking about this point of grammar just the other day.

Most important is the effect this will have on the ESL community. Thanks to your picture, Dee can now show pictures of this to her most stressed-out, over-worked over-achiever students and say, "Look, you're not alone. The person who made this sign was in all liklihood a fluent speaker of English. He wouldn't last two minutes at your school, now would he?" I imagine the poor little kid would wipe his eyes and say something like, "Teacher, he is stupid!" And then they'd laugh. You've just made this touching moment all that more possible, Ismael. Bravo.

that is hilariously awful. and double snort at tRJ. Bob is probably a self satisfied dick.

in two years of teaching ESL to taiwanese children, i haven't seen them make even the usual it's/its screwup. it must be a native speaker problem. that, and using an aprostrophe for plural nouns and 3rd person singular verbs.

I guarantee you the original copy read "...and it's quality" and some self-proclaimed grammar guy said, "No, no, community is a group of people, so it's plural. The apostrophe should go after the S." And then the room went, "Nice catch, Bob, we almost made ourselves look like unmitigated idiots."

Enjoy.

Way to keep things relevant while pandering to your hetero-normative base, Ismael. The only things missing here is either a couple of poop jokes, use of 'pwned' in a sentence, or a reference to some campy date movie involving sex with a donkey.

As for the relevant parts, I'm glad that I'm not paying attention to this whole primary election. It's also a goddamned shame Ron Paul won't be the Repub's candidate, because he's ultimately the least scary guy from either major party. McCain and Clinton are phony-baloney party tools, and Obama's just getting by on personality. Hell, I don't even agree with everything Ron Paul says he wants, he's just friggin' forthright.

Hillary has just been going through her options. One of the few remaining options is 'assassinate obama', which will probably be enacted soon, vince foster style.

I just read this cnn article that talked about what other countries are reporting about the hillary/obama thing. I'm wondering if you would agree that they have no understanding of what is going on at all. they are reporting that hillary's demise is due to her having 'outdated policies' and 'her husband Bill'. Really, the explanation seems to have nothing to do with that. (its not like hillary and obama have views on issues.) it seems to have more to do with the fact that 'its like, totally cool to like obama' and, most importantly, that 'hillary is a huge fucking bitch that everyone just instinctively hates unless they are a liberal white woman under 65'.

for my money, my favorite is "I'm fucking better! Look at my shirt! It says "I am your EIC, bitch, and you cannot stop me!" Read my shirt! Get the fuck away from me! Read my shirt!". It is so easy for me to hear you saying that--perhaps in a dream sequence on a TV show where you play a ridiculously exaggerated version of yourself. (maybe that's the next step after the blog hits it big)

This whole thing was hilarious, particularly because some of your analogies sound like things you might actually say in real life, depending on the circumstances. But by far my favorite line is the following:

"If you are a woman, I may be scheduling some private cite-checking tutoring. You will be cite-checking my penis."

That's about on par with Superbad's "my back is actually on my cock" line.

Hit me back with a link that works, yo! I can't make it work.
