Looks like it's going to be just four of us - 98, your favourite frog, and 98's parents (apparently big sis and her beau probably won't be making an appearance and other relatives are not expected to be involved). Does this alter any of the advice?
Instead of poker, it will be strip bridge. Just pray your heart out that no one pulls off a grand slam. |

Because, you know, that stuff on the syllabus is like, in writing, and there are so many ways you can, like, read that, but when the guys who sit by you in class, like, you know, must know what's really going on, right? -- AmLitHist, channelling student

While "against stupidity, even the gods themselves contend in vain" may be true, it is not reason for us to just give up and let the stupid run this world.

I think we should all kick down and buy a pair of these for Froggy to wear to Thanksgiving. (I volunteer to do the ordering, to spare your delicate retinas any more "hairy panty" trauma!) |

Will they count as an item of clothing in strip bridge? |

Will they count as an item of clothing in strip bridge? That depends on two questions: 1. Do you want them to count? 2. Do you want to be invited back? |

The "what" is, unfortunately, self-explanatory. The why will require explanation. Of course, so will the concept of strip bridge. |

I still have no idea what you're on about.
It's hard out there for a scientist. But seriously folks. Idiomatic or phonetic language that is not punny is, in itself, a sign of foreignness. If you feel good right now, go on with your bad self. If you feel like the butt of the joke instead of a comedienne, stick to standard spelling instead of phonetic. Variations on latter are a sure route to social success at secular celebrations. According to Wikipedia (Yes, I know, the queen of scholarly sources), "Merkin" has been used since the 1960s in Europe to humorously refer to Americans. I wasn't aware of the lower-case meaning, and somewhat regret having looked it up. Sort of like the term Eurotrash? |

Reading many of these posts, especially those concerning family political discussions, I'm deeply thankful to have married into a family of Midwestern leftist populists.
There may be one or two Republicans, but they are vastly outnumbered and much less passionate.
And, I always thought it was 'Murcan. The alternative spelling: no wonder so many Europeans think Americans are d*ckheads.
OMG. Isn't that why we broke off from England and the continent to begin with? Because we didn't care what the foolish Europeans thought? I get so sick of the Europeans are superior crap. |
