I never would have made it through college if it wasn't for Ramen. I clearly remember scrounging up my change to run to the discount grocery store to buy some Ramen for dinner. All that wonderful MSG too, so tasty.
I could easily weigh 350 pounds. I love beer and chips and pretzels and pizza and pickled eggs and hamburgers and all sorts of stuff. I can put on 10 pounds over a weekend. I am an eating and beer drinking machine.
But I weigh 195 pounds, because I workout like crazy and make sure not to go hog wild every day. If I gave up and ate whatever I wanted, I'd be fat, period.
I was just thinking that. I have a CCW and it's quite possible that if a man pointed a gun at me, he'd end up dead. Strange that this took place in New Zealand which has pretty liberal gun laws in comparison to other countries in that area.
You mean irresponsible engineers can't just walk out of a development facility with a company secret prototype worth millions of dollars in intellectual property?
Apple should probably keep a log sheet of those things or something.
hey -bob-, wait a second, maybe these guys are on to something, I never knew you could just ban something or outlaw behavior to make it go away. We should probably outlaw crime so it goes away.
A better alternative, in my opinion, is to stretch and practice the natural squatting form. If you do it every day, it's actually quite a relaxing way to sit. I know a lot of people that can't even get into that position, feet flat, good lumbar arch.
The only bad thing about it is that it leaves your gonads open for a sneak attack.
To a point, I agree, I purposefully "misuse" language, saying "libary", using "irregardless" (even though it's in the dictionary), y'all, youse, all that purposefully peppers my conversation. I say shame on you for judging someone for their apparent language skills (I might just sneak up on you when you're underestimating you). I'm not saying you should use it in formal writing (although I have often without incident), but without the "uneducated" artists with the language, I say conversations would be pretty boring and would never evolve. We need both and it's rare for one group to be able to perform the requirements of the other.
I disagree, rules shmules, I say never be confined, never fail to use words or make up words in any manner you see fit. I love colloquialism. I love y'all, I love "a whole nother", I love to "outen the light"!
Anyway, I believe words are like paints, telling someone they should only use paints in a certain manner seems counter to creativity. I say use words in any manner you see fit. Come up with new phrases, idioms, words, don't let grammar rules dictate how you use words, that's for the stodgy.
Best way to discombobulate grammar Nazis is to argue that language is a living thing, evolving and changing to meet the needs of its users. There is nothing in language that must remain constant. Like in Futurama where everyone says "aks" instead of "axe". Countless single words have been derived from two words that were used together so often it made sense to make them one word.
And get this, "nother" as in the phrase "a whole nother" has made its way into the dictionaries as an informal usage. It's been around for over a century, in another century it'll be common usage, and in yet a whole nother century, only egghead language professors will know it was once frowned upon.
this was probably the goofballs in marketing, those guys and gals are always hopped up on goofballs. don't blame the developers.
I'd still rather wathc donkey basketball than womens bastketball, ugh.

Pffff, gimmick!

What, you too good to eat food off the floor?
