HA ha. I'll take healthy man over schlubby internet nerd any day. Actually, I do yoga precisely to avoid becoming the schlubby internet nerd. Just nerd. No schlub. Jettas seem cool, but I am poor.

I was unsettlingly amused when <i>Lost</i> explained the Dharma Initiative, and it was funded by an Alvar (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanso_Foundation">Alvar Hanso</a>).<br /><br />3. I blogged last year about declaring a moratorium on "LOL." Generally, what's really meant is something like, "Somewhat amused, I smiled a little, you could almost call it a chuckle except it was subaudible, so it wasn't <i>quite</i> laughing and it certainly wasn't out loud." Or "Hey, that's kinda funny."<br /><br />4. Iamnottrain, norcar, norplane, norboat. Iambus.<br /><br />5. I did a Google image search on "papaw." You scrounge up a lot of old men that way. Whether they have a custardlike texture, I couldn't say.<br /><br />6.

Surely P is the first person since Lucille Ball to utter that phrase.<br /><br />I am wearing a Green Day T right now. It kind of hurts to see that emo is a punk subgenre. I think it's more like an off-shoot.

It says it all. Someone at the NYT is taunting you with pawpaw, and papaws. I liked the original picture you posted even if it might have been incorrect.

I learned from my second cousin's parents (I'm not really sure what that makes them to me) that my second cousin is in an emo band that was signed to some emo record company. My mom asked his parents what emo was, and his dad said, "It's a type of rock where kids sing about how much they hate their lives and their parents." Awkward moment, to say the least.sonofdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177442874914826830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-87838993704187207022006-11-12T12:53:00.000-05:002006-11-12T12:53:00.000-05:00An EMO artist would never duel.

He would run away to the nearest pa(w)paw patch and warble about his anger and frustration.<br /><br />Yes, that rift-for-riff misspelling was original to the quotation - which will teach me to cut-and-paste blindly, I guess.
