Lacanian TV AD: Petit Hommage to the “Wicked Costly” Installment of NHTBW by FullFlavorPike
Neither the Web site...: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/normal-heig… ...nor the jpegs referenced in Pike's blog, located above, are coming through in the body of my blog, so if anyone has suggestions on how to make them work properly as links? (!) These are the jpegs, in order of appearance: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5364/dsc0211cl… http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9229/dsc0224.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9109/dsc0216ue.j… http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6797/dsc0302uf.j… http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/1940/dsc0301t.jpg http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8952/dsc0300v.jpg— October 26, 2009 9:27 a.m.

#14: That headline is hysterical, as are some of the comments. refried's (intentional?) pun "whacky" fits right in.— October 26, 2009 5:34 a.m.

[blush] Good mawnin' to you, CuddleFish :)— October 26, 2009 5:29 a.m.

Ok dear--listen, if it counts, I want to read your news stories! Sweet semicolon dreams to you ;) PS: I literally have a semicolon, hence my loyalty.— October 26, 2009 5:07 a.m.
Is There Some Mistake?
refried now claims: "It's like, the lower portion is still a tadpole. Let it grow up, I say! Give it some time, soon it will loose its tail and become a colon." That is adorable; it only makes me love those tadpoles more! ;) http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/sep/23/co… @comment #54, refried declared: "Hah! I was reading a great rant against semicolons earlier. I LOVE THE SEMICOLON! ;;;;; It's, like, you write this big giant rambling sentence that seems to go nowhere but insists on being written and reaches a point where it's far too large to be acceptable but not quite finished; and this happy little thing called the simicolon makes the world whole once again. By refriedgringo 12:22 a.m., Sep 24, 2009 > Report it I agree, and have stated as much elsewhere; I won't go on ;) By SDaniels 12:30 a.m., Sep 24, 2009 > Report it And... From a review by SD of one of refried's winning blog entries: "What a beautiful line, and excellent use of semicolon: "I closed the laptop; I was trapped in my own shining heart."" Just for fun, from a Jeff Smith review: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2007/apr/26/so… "Vivian's mentor frets about punctuation in Donne's Holy Sonnet #6 ("And death shall be no more, comma, Death thou shalt die"). A comma splice should separate the independent clauses, she contends, because "nothing but a breath -- a comma separates life from life everlasting." The NCRT production offers visual evidence of this contention. Marty Burnett's scenic design has no "insuperable barriers"; no semicolons. The stage is bare, save for curtains, like those in a hospital, that open and close and change scenes in a single breath."— October 26, 2009 4:56 a.m.

"...then I stop by the liquor store because it's hot outside" You should have loudly proclaimed this completely reasonable justification to all seated nearby. Maybe it was because it was a QUART of beer? Quien sabe...(sic?)— October 26, 2009 4:14 a.m.

"unmentioned part of San Siego," Never MIND semicolons, we have other issues--with the SS! (And ignore that comma splice:)— October 26, 2009 4:12 a.m.
Is There Some Mistake?
"I was going to make fun of Pike's semicolon, but thought better of it. I mean, hell, it's a semicolon. Almost a colon. Good enough." What da heck is up wit you and the semicolon lately, refried? Not speaking? Not long ago, you wrote a joyous paean to the semicolon--remember?! Now I'm totally afeared for my own semicolons, as though I should shield them from your view :)— October 26, 2009 4:10 a.m.

But I reallly like writing "SPAM ALERT." It is deeply satisfying. What should I do in this case, gringo? Report AND declare? Btw, interesting case-- see that first go at it ended in mistrial--for Carelli.— October 26, 2009 4:07 a.m.
