Oxford Word of the Year

“Zombie Bank” was also a finalist. We came this close to glory.

I think I know why “teabagger” didn’t win ….

…the mental pictures that spring to mind, maybe?

@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:

Clearly all part of the Obama administration’s evil plan, duh. :)

Lately the teabaggers have been screaming that its “Tea Partiers” or some such revisionist history. Now they will be screaming that the liberal dictionary is slandering them.

Video of Stanford’s Band mocking U$C alum Joe “Girls Gone Wild” Francis at Saturday’s game.

My money would have been on facebook as a verb: ie, I am so gonna facebook you.

Or: Facebook me.

But maybe it’s already been done.

Next year: I got scozzfavahd. (however that’s spelled)

Watching the new Browns play the old Browns (Ravens) – is Art Modell still alive? If he is, fuck him.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims!

The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew that has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew that protests by killing people.

The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels. The Jews don't hide behind women and children when in conflict with their Muslim neighbors!

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems. Perhaps the world's Muslims should honestly examine their "Bible" (Koran) for its authenticity and content!

Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects them!!

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:

'If the Arabs put down their guns, there will be peace, if the israeli's put down theit guns, there will be no israel.

So I visited the new APPLE store on the UWS yesterday and it was awesome!!! Packed with geeks breathing heavy over the new MacBook Pro. I bought the new wireless mouse that swipes and has no buttons and completes your life and makes you happy in ways you never dreamed possible. I am about to install batteries. Then I will be happy. I will be soooooooo happy!

Then I came home and watched Elvis Costello singing very flat – very – and Rufus Wainwright singing kinda flat then better but incomprehensible. And I asked myself, if the songs are so personally meaningful to you then why don’t you sing the fucking words so that your auditors can understand them? I don’t understand. But there is much I don’t understand about the ways of the Yanqui.

Oh. And I passed a Honda FIT on the road. Don’t these people know anything? What next, a Toyota MIM?

@Benedick:

On the Apple Stores: I’m a pretty big Apple fan (typing this on a C2D Macbook hooked up to a Cinema Display), but the stores always creeped me out a little. They felt like I was walking into a church for a religion that I’m not quite a member of. The new one in NYC certainly seems to feed off that idea.

@al2o3cr:
this has always been a problem for me too. never comfortable being a cult member. however. I have decided I will never EVER buy another microsoft product. ever.
so I guess cult here I come.

actually I am very curious about the new google os.

I read a review of 2012 that described Emmerich as the “Ron Jeremy of disaster porn”
