Good to know that your URL will remain the same. Here’s hoping your correspondence has an effect. I’m curious, though: in your letter to the CEO, did you mention that you were also writing the SC Dept. of Consumer Affairs?

Indeed.
Alas, by moving your blog and losing this URL, you’ll be contributing to my blog’s link rot. All the same, please give me your new URL when you have it and are settled in.

Well, congrats, I suppose. Will you be able to import all your old blog data (archives, formatting, etc.) into the new template?

Time Warner Cable and other things that suck
“Things in Korea just don’t seem to suck nearly as much. “
Have fun living in Gireum-dong’s “Centreville,” then! Sorry to hear about all these damn annoyances. I sympathize.

So! You ready to take up arms against the NSA?

Those fat Ph.D.s were all women, I noticed. Brave, proud lasses.

I guess that’s better than finding yourself in a Scottish kilt. Airy, ventilated, yet dignified.

“Me, I’ve never been a slave to grammatical correctness but this whole kerfuffle strikes me as much adieu about nothing.”
OK, was “adieu” deliberate?

T-Money in America. Imagine that.
“…the private sector can do almost everything the government can do, only better.”
If that’s the basic point, I agree.

Congrats on the continued weight loss! I don’t know how you managed to avoid eating all those sinfully tempting victuals that they serve at Disney World and Epcot. I’ve seen some Food Network shows devoted to highlighting Disney’s food, and all of it looked amazing to me.

Close call.

Kudos! Continued good luck to you.

I hear echoes of Groucho Marx in that reply.

Very nice poem.

The most likely suspect has fled the country…
Oh, phooey—your blog is light-years better than the crap shoveled by so, so many illiterates.
Round American butt, eh? I’m there, dude.

It’s all in the delivery, and the prof’s reply includes a glaring typo. D’oh!

BTW, “addenda” is plural. “Addendum” is singular.

Stick the “was” at the very end, and stop driving me nuts. Me nuts don’t like being driven.

You’re making fantastic progress, man. Congratulations yet again!

Continued good luck with la paperasse (French for “paperwork” or “red tape”). Perhaps all that anger will help you in your ongoing quest to shed those pounds! Does anger increase metabolic rate…?

Her visor is a nuclear blast shield. No worries.

Keep up the good work! En avant!

Great work! A tiny slip like yours is barely a slip at all, so your slip ain’t showin’. Take some long walks, if you’re feeling that you need to compensate for any bad karma.

The importance of being Ernest
Quite the adventure. Everyone happy now?

Where in the world am I going?
Safe travels, and good luck!

My own weight loss appears to have stagnated, and I’m taking a break from the diet this Easter weekend (making’ carby charoset!), so I really don’t expect good news at Monday’s weigh-in. But I’m pondering doing 9-mile walks (about 3 hours) every day until I go to Korea; trying to recapture “The Switzerland Formula.”

Congrats! What’s your exercise routine, pray tell?

The perfect gift for you’re favorite grammar nazi…
From a grammar Nazi’s perspective, what’s really interesting about that shirt is that the swastika is composed entirely of parts of speech instead of explicitly grammatical terms! Parts of speech represent the words, i.e., the building blocks of utterances, whereas grammar is, more precisely, the structure into which we insert those building blocks to make our utterances. (See here.)
It might have been better had the shirt sported terms like
•subject-verb agreement
•case (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive)
•mood
•word order
•tense
•indicative
•interrogative
•subjunctive
•conjugation
(etc.)Nice try, Shirt People!

«« Back To Stats Page“Bada-koggiri” is literally “sea elephant.” Hilarious name for a walrus (another name for which is “hae-ma,” or, confusingly for English speakers, “sea-horse”).
Congrats on the continued weight loss! May it continue! 220 isn’t that far away.
