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.

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 -->If you ever need to shake a song out of your head, try replacing it with what has to be the most grandiose lyric in all of songdom:
« I know that I must do what's right / As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti. »
That's bound to knock out any competing words, through the sheep mental processing required to fit those into a line of a song.
For an infectious tune, you can always try substituting "Oo... ee... oo-aa-aa / Ting, tang, walla-walla bing-bang."
You're welcome.
