@hostile-17: If you read this out of context it's probably not very funny. But just knowing Gabe's character makes it a lot funnier.

Hello, I'm Ira Glass. Welcome back to This American Life.

I submit:

@robot-shmobot: That's pretty sleek.

@Dezerus Richardson: iPod Touch 4G? Are you from the future?

Linguistics FTW

@Oziel03: Lots of other languages use what we would consider 'inverted' sentence structure. I know German and French do similar things for sure.

@XForce: It kind of came into focus for me when I saw the clothes they sell in Japan that just have random English phrases printed on them.

How about the fact that Marty has no knowledge of who his parents are now, since they've experienced completely different lives and are different people?

@GM_Pax: This helps too, thanks. Not trying to be lazy by not having read, I was just curious. Thanks all for the replies.

@freedomweasel: I think I get it - it's an issue of the government, or congress, mandating a law that affects free speech at all. Thanks.

Can someone explain how this is different than a retailer like Wal Mart asking for ID when buying a Mature game?

Okay, the description of this sounded really hokey at first, but it actually sounds like it could be pretty funny.

@Prolorn: I was an English major in school. I'm off to hang myself. Ok, I'll just edit it, but still, I'm suffering.

Reading transcripts of Beck's show just really underlines how full of shit he is.

Zing!

@Yeah!: The costume is neat. I'm saying that the guy is probably annoying if you were to meet him.

@Yeah!: Still obnoxious.

@Yeah!: The guy who made this costume is the guy at parties who asks if you need to look at his iPhone app with drink recipes.

Lots of ingenuity went into making this, but you know anyone who is obsessed with their iPhone enough to make a costume is probably really obnoxious.
