- For those who smirk when I say I have a 'stupidity' budget, I spent £7.80 of it today on unnecessary bus fares. Who's laughing now?2011/12/13
- Y'know the 'I'm a bomb technician, if you see me running, try to keep up' shirt? This is what makes climatologists run:

that poor kitty!
What an anal linguist! LOL
Disregarding the kitty, that would *never* work in real life!!! Excellent way to dump someone, though.

Hey there Steve … don’t insult linguists like that! Linguists describe how people use language and create descriptive grammars; grammarians (and crazy English profs) create prescriptive grammars and say “DO THIS OR YOU’RE WRONG!” Words often lose their meaning when they get borrowed. I certainly don’t ask people how they did on al jibra test; I ask them how they did on the algebra test …
Sorry; just had to defend one of my chosen fields …
And did I just say that you used the word “linguist” incorrectly? Damn … that’s prescriptive vocabulary … *going back to the drawing board and doing a rethink*
commentors are wierd
This is really funny because my friend’s girlfriend does that same thing and I just think it’s dumb. The cat thing is a great touch (although it makes me sad).
The real question is, is that cat alive or dead? Will he open the box?
The sad thing is, I’ve totally pointed out the same thing to my boyfriend before… Damn semantics…
I’ve heard people call them “monthiversaries”, which I can’t decide my opinion on - either it’s amazing or awful.
I’ve been irritated by that, too… and the kitty is obviously alive by the end, since it mews AFTER the stomping, though it could easily have died later of internal bleeding or some such similar.
I agree; anal linguist, indeed!
@Anonymous:
The joke about the cat being alive or dead is referring to Schrodinger’s cat, which is in a quantum both living and dead state until it is observed. Or at least I hope it was; otherwise I’ve further lost faith in humanity.
Best one I’ve read so far XD
I’ll note that I personally call them “lunaversaries”, which I think makes much more sense.
I prefer Cunning Liguists….
“Mew?”
The more high-pitched kitten version of “meow”.
mew!!!!!!! LOL
Alt text… heh.
