That's wonderful, because one explanation for the word "news" is that it emerged as a plural of things that were new.

She reminds me of my aunt. Only a small handful of us could understand her, the rest of the world (including fellow native speakers) needed translation.

This is the first I've found something to laugh about this whole affair. Nicely done!

I'm outraged at how imprecise their outrage is. The wingnut rep is quoted as complaining about "The vulgar new flavor ..." No, what you find vulgar is the new name, not the flavor. If you don't like the name, that's one thing (albeit, a stupid thing), but don't tell me vanilla, fudge, and malt balls isn't awesome.…

She's so boss, the engine apologized for the inconvenience.

Nice post, agree on the need for being consistent with girls and boys. I regularly tell the boys in my suburaban public schools (where I volunteer) to pull up their pants. "You're not a Victoria's Secret model. No one wants to see you in your underwear." They're tired of hearing it, but it still gets an occasional…

I don't thnk they should change the title, it's so clever and subtle. You can just hear the laugh track already. The straight-laced (get it? straight!) gal and her wacky, lesbian roomie will have all kinds of crazy adventures. I'll bet some guys (and gals!) will hit on the wrong roommate. Hilarious! It may require a…

And appreciated.

Yes, please do bring on the geek.

Lots of good suggestions here (like using pre-made crusts or pre-made dough). For a lot of pies, you can also make a cookie crust. Graham crackers, ginger snaps, even oreos can all be converted into great crusts. Ginger sanp crust for a pumpkin pie is awesome at Thanksgiving (or any day, really). I love pie; don't…

I like your mother.

My first thought re: Rihanna's shopping spree: That's a pretty good deal for about $1,000.

I'm with you. Poor grammar sends a bad message, too.

How about tennis shoes? Or trainers, as they say across the pond.

I'm loving that concubine outfit. She's really workin' it, Old Testament style.

Yeah, Lucas was a jerk for shutting down the movie marathon, that's hardly a surprise.

Yeah, I agree there's something fishy about Adams' declaration. It reminds me of guys who would say "sure, execute the rapist, but only IF it really was rape." They then go on to blame victims, never take their testimony seriously (it's hearsay; whom to believe?; she was asking for it, etc.), and set the bar…

At some point in my college years, I recall this exchange:

Naipaul has always been a great writer; but when he tries to interact with other people, he's an incredible jackass. I don't mean this in any unkind way.

You couldn't find anywhere else to link to other than Brietbart? It was an AP feed, link to them if nothing else.
