Apparently, the migration script Pixy used to move Rocket Jones over to Minx from Movable Type removed some punctuation. 

Honest, I do know what an apostrophe is!

1 I once posted a review on tirerack.com, an online vendor of wheels and tires and such, and every last apostrophe I'd used had been stricken away by whatever application they were using to port the contents of the text box over to their database.

Which, if nothing else, proves that it's not just some crazed Pixyism.

From a forum I frequent:

Some people hear voices in their heads.
Writers take dictation.

Pitcher throws a wild pitch that's only partially blocked by the catcher.  Ball goes almost to the backstop and the man on third breaks for home.  Pitcher covers the plate, catcher slides on his knees, spins and throws.  Ball, pitcher and runner arrive simultaneously.  Slide, plate blocked, pitcher tags, falls...

Out.  Game over.  Our guys win.

On a forum I frequent, someone started a thread about how bad things are with the economy in the tank.  Why, the poor dear even noticed that there were less people at the oil-change place when he took his car in to be serviced!

Asshat.

Daughter Robyn and husband Henry are in town for the weekend for a family occasion.  Tonight they wanted to go to IKEA. 

Part of the fun of IKEA is the Swedish names that the designers give everything.  I assume they're real Swedish and not just made-up pseudo-English, although some of the smaller items seem kinda contrived.  Myself, I love to go through and make up my own names.

In the kid's furniture section I loudly announced that this particular series was call "Preestbate", and was my favorite until I saw "Shakmee".

I got plenty of dirty looks, and a few snickers hidden behind hands.

Fookemm.

Gettin' hammered with spam here on the new Minx platform.  It's easier to delete than on Movable Type, so between that and the Dalai Llama, I've got that going for me.
