Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Contestants on Wheel get so excited when they win the car. But ... the smallest amount of cash on the wheel is $35,000. The Mini-Cooper plus $5000 comes to ... $36,250.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Actually, the smallest amount of cash on the final wheel is currently $30K (upped from the longtime $25K).
The car is valued at the MSRP, which no one in their right mind would ever pay, so the winner of it has to pay income tax on that artificially inflated figure. I'd prefer the cash, thankyouverymuch.
Why oh why do I clutter my brain with such trivia, while at times forgetting important information? (sigh)
Oh. I thought they'd upped it to $35K.
They will.
