A liberal oasis in a conservative wasteland?
That sounds familiar.

It's only proper
I'm down with any blues-person with a state in his or her name.

So Rachel Weisz is out?
So much for any reason to see this.

Seconded!

There it is! I knew someone else had to be a fan of those Russel+Carpenter commentaries. In _The Thing_ you can hear the tinkling of ice as they keep pouring themselves drinks and getting progressively more garrulous. It's sweet.

Still catching up…
…on TWC on-demand.

They should have also nominated
Matthew Broderick.

Shit, that's right nice of you, Jorge. I freely admit that I took your comment to heart because you are a familiar presence here—and maybe also because we're commenting on an article about the 'community' we are trying to preserve.

Sadly, you are correct. It's a habit that I've had since the early days of the public Internet, and I just can't seem to let go. But I'll give it a try if it bothers you that much.

Ha ha! Back on the front page, through the awesome power of deletion! I hereby unreservedly and wholly endorse the censorship campaign!

Aww…pushed to the second page. Now no one will join me in my hoped-for Con Air quotes thread.

I have…
…Con Air waiting for me on my DVR, for whenever I find a solid 130 minute block during which I can enjoy it in all its glory.

Who the hell is Robin?

Best? Not to me. Pulp Fiction still holds that title, as unoriginal as the sentiment might be.

Hey, I'm defending myself, the customer, not the corporation.

Defending the Whole Foods crowd
I shop regularly at Whole Foods, in fact at its flagship store under the corporate headquarters, and I would *never* drink that fruity shit.

The fun an ironic part is that the Language Log (great site, thanks for the tip) steadfastly refuses to defend "the use of a plural third person pronoun with an indefinite singular antecedent".

The plurality or singularity of the subject should, in precise English, agree with that of the object of the dependent preposition clause. So they make fools of themselves, and he makes a fool of himself, just as someone, which is a singular pronoun, does. How is this not true?

Themselves?
Aww, I know this is becoming acceptable usage, but come on…'someone' makes a drunken ass of 'himself' or 'herself'.

As Washington
I thought it was truly amazing how much he looked like the Washington we know from the historical portraits. It took me a few minutes watching the character before I was sure it was him.
