does the new Harry Potter title need a hyphen? http://www.livejournal.com/users/evi...y/1000547.html

You know, when I went to the jkrowling.com website and figured out the clues to get into the secret room where you can see the name of the new book -- after you click on the fan (I told you I was obsessed, non?), I was so TORN!

I mean, obviously it needs a hyphen, but JKR is the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned, and can do no wrong.

I am officially on the horns of a dilemma.

You don't think it is one of those off the shelf 6'8" ones they have lying around Dillards?

It's only the worst if you are the clueless person calling up. It's just an ego boost otherwise (not to mention a fantastic opportunity to be mean to a clueless person). Are we to conclude that you're the clueless one?

Kind of like, if you can't figure out who the sucker at the poker table is, it's you.

Well, it's like the old saying goes: if you want to rip a girl's anus, you have to dress the part.

I don't do the second one so much, but doesn't everybody eat with his/her fork in left, knife in right? What else do you do? (Unless you're left-handed, I suppose.)

How do you know he's talking about her ?

No, I'm talking about her. And I don't force her to drive. She drives on long trips, etc., when whe share the load. Neither of us drives to work (we both walk).

Nope. He's miles ahead of the typical 7-button orange NBA clown suit, but that collar is too long and too pointy, and the knot on the tie isn't substantial enough.

Did you just admit to being a fat?

Great point. Sebby is right: point collars suck. Spread is the way to go. With a big knot.

Fuck, maybe I really am english.

Left handed people have it correct in my book. Fork in left (dominant) hand to do all the important stuff. Right hand for wielding knife to cut stuff only. I realize now I haven't watched right handed people eat much.
