    1. Picked a good week. Another cold week coming up perfect to scare people into wondering why they live here.

        1. Wow. I totally failed at homonyms and homographs today. Misreading "I" as "It" in Mag's second sentence did me in.

          1. I totally failed at homonyms and homographs

            Not that...there's anything wrong with that. We are a very open and accepting community.

              1. I think I see what's up. "Homo-nym" is just vague. What's a word's name?
                Homophone and homograph are well-defined (enough, consider sari/sorry or aunt/ant).
                I'm guessing that usage makes distinctions here, rather than groupings. Rather than saying homonyms are the class that contain homophones and homographs, homonyms are those words that are both phonically and graphically identical (fly, quarry, Turkey, story, etc.)

          1. I had such a frustrating match against DG.
            I kept cutting him Jacks and he kept cutting himself points.

      1. Also from that day:

        JANUARY 24, 2014 AT 9:53 AM
        MLB.com released their top 100 prospects yesterday. Buxton #1, Sano #4, Meyer #28, Stewart #40, and Berrios #90. It's 2014 now and it will be fun to watch.

  1. Gopher Women's BB player drops 39 and 29 last night. Oooh. One point and one rebound from 40-30. Nevertheless, that's a pretty awesome line.

    1. Amanda Zahui B is a sophomore and has already eclipsed 1000 career points. The Lady Gophers have 21 wins this season and have missed Rachel Banham during league play. Carlie Wagner has had a pretty good freshman campaign.
      If you are not following the best basketball team in the state, there is plenty of room left on the bandwagon.

    2. Plus I think she was robbed of one rebound. She had a rebound that I would maintain she had possession of and then lost the ball out of bounds near the end of the game. The ruling was she never had possession and lost the rebound out of bounds.

      Joey King (all 6'9" of him) on the men's team has a total of 29 rebounds all season. Least Mode.

    1. 'Spoiler' SelectShow
    1. Some, if not most, of those sounds are however inaudible when combined with the rest of the music. At lower bitrates you can absolutely hear the differences but in most mp3s you get that is unlikely to be the case.

      1. One of the techniques I used to make the music I did years ago was to drop the bitrate of the wav file significantly and then mix it back with the original. The mega-compressed mp3s sound a lot like the dropped-bitrate wavs, but with a less-predictable degradation of sound (I'd describe the mp3s as sounding "jumbled").

          1. If there was a web site that just had .gifs of _elmon fielding boners I'd watch all day long. (Plus throw in his Thome HR reaction every so often as well to spice things up).

    1. Oh goodness...I think I saw my golden in amongst those clips. Thanks for the smiles bootsy.

    2. I've been having a pretty good day, so I was not in need of a smile, but it gave me one anyway.

      It also reminded me that I need to try to find the racquetball for my cocker. She used to like to sit by the sliding glass door and pop it out of her mouth off the door over and over.

    1. I thought for a second you were referring to game logs or Cuppas.

      so, a squirrel for sean: top ten Cups and Game Logs, respectively, for numbers of LTEs?

          1. Here's my top ten.

            10. Red Solo
            9. Dixie
            8. Blue Solo
            7. Pimm's No. 6
            6. Pimm's No. 5
            5. Pimm's No. 3
            4, Pimm's No. 4
            3. Pimm's No. 2
            2. Pimm's No. 1
            1. Stanley

                1. Athletic in the top ten cups by subjective awesomeness?
                  No way.
                  I think I should have fit Sippy in there.

  2. So last night I was feeling frustrated about some circumstances at work, so I fired off an email to boss at around 10 pm outlining my frustrations. Late this afternoon, she stopped by my office and told me I'm getting a raise, effective immediately. Perhaps I should get all riled up more often?

    1. I need an editor. Replace "frustrated" with "annoyed" to avoid repetitive phrasing. Replace the "so" after the comma in the first sentence with "and" to avoid repetitive use of conjunctions. (Note to self: if you log out immediately after leaving a LTE (an LTE?), you can't edit said LTE.)

      1. KG is old and awful this year. Still plays better than Anthony Bennett.

        Get er done Billy Smith!
