Although, really, just make it consistent and no one will notice.

2. Yes, the local Detroit female impersonator, not the gospel singer.

Since I work for portions of the day, I am missing what all the "2" references are for. Is that a ditto equivalent?

No, no. Coors Light is far and away the crappiest beer ever.

I think the FDA has ruled that Coors Light isn't really beer.

Q: What's the difference between a female impersonator and a UPS driver?

A: Nothing. They both tote about heavily-taped packages.

Kool slang for "I second the motion."

Sparklehorse I do not picture with kids. Spooky and Soup Sandwich I picture with kids. Sparklehorse is a craigslist-savvy Bostonian with an avatar that I cannot figure out. I think she is single.

She's a Tigress. Kind of like a cougar, but more voracious and not as common.

Thank you. To the extent having slang for Robert's Rules of Order is Kool, I am jiggy wit it.

I'm not giving you credit for saying essentially what I said in a better way.

Crap. That sounds like I just gave you credit. I take it back.

It's posts like this that keep you from getting the benefit of the doubt on the rest of 2005.

In preparing a public disclosure document, I have run across a few questions I need input on:

1. Is the proper term "internet" or "Internet"?
2. Is the proper term "web site" or "website"?
3. Is Eric Clapton well known enough to not need describing?

Thanks in advance.

Many years ago, I went to see EC at Summerfest in Milwaukee. He hit the stage, opened with Bell Bottom Blues. It was sublime. Some teenage punk tapped me on the back and asked me "which one's Clapton, Dude?" I told him Clapton was the drummer.

That punk would be in his mid-to late-30s now. As sad as it makes me to say this, I think you still need to worry about some asshole reading the contract, calling you up and asking "which one's Clapton, Dude?"

Younger than Bilmore; older than just about everybody else.

(Though so many people have shellfish allergies that most oyster bars have a token chicken thing, too.)

I used to work with a guy whose shellfish allergy was so severe that he had to call ahead and quiz the restaurants on whether any nonshellfish food ever touched a surface on which any shellfish was prepared, and another person's daughter couldn't even be in the same room as shellfish or she could die. I hope Miss Manners has an "it would kill me" exception to the rule.

I'd probably be angry too if someone didn't tell me they had an allergy when I was making a meal for them or choosing a restaurant. But I know so many people with food allergies and preferences that I always ask ahead of time. So I was doubly angry last month; I was cooking dinner for a large group and emailed everyone to ask about food problems so I could plan the menu accordingly. I few people responded and I avoided those ingredients. But the night of the dinner one of the guests told me that the main ingredient of the main course would make her sick. I don't know what Miss Manners would say, but I thought it was rude to not tell me in advance because I would have made something different if I had known.
