| #13 We're always told that the c-word's too strong a translation, but I wonder (lacking background to assert) whetehr, in Englishes that constantly, casually use the c-word in every social setting, it might not be a pretty good fit? I mean, maybe not as good a fit as... awww, shaddup, self! You know you don't go for none of that funny stuff. Seriously, though? |

| #6 Gosh, it's almost like I'm a red-blooded patriotic American who loves his country. Whoda thunk it? And gosh, maybe starting wars with other countries is a bad idea. Iraq was a total disaster and Iran or Venezuela or whoever the neocons want to target next will be no better. American lives matter. |

| #4 An odd business model, perhaps, but in its prime streetside location at teh bottom of the Common, convenient to both Beacon Hill and Back Bay, and tolerably handy for Harvard men, the place thrived until April 1917, when the structure was hauled back across the peninsula by gangs of navvies and relaunched as USS [Achtung! Herb, please notice difference!] America. Seriously though, I swear I've never heard that poem (or much CB at all), but when I saw it -- closed up, mind you -- I thought, "That's not teh usual grom...," and then, "Dammit, Herb, I want to hate you, but I just can't!" And then it turned out to be your post, which ends the way it ends. Wooo-wooo stuff there innit? Thanks. |
