OTOH? You could just say "That's a real interesting perspective you have on the concept of midterms and finals. The philosophy department is down the hall and to the left."
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

When I have a student like that, I love the fact that we have to grade on a curve. Basically, I get to tell them, "I understand you're working very hard, but everyone else is smarter than you are."
The DH and I met with a nanny this a.m. (we probably can't afford her, but she was wonderful, so we will have to torture ourselves for a few days over this) and then the dog and I took a walk, and now I'm wondering why no one has cleaned my house, yet.

I need a title for a new manuscript. (It's a thing. I can't start without a title, even if it ultimately changes.)
It's a baseball story-- I was thinking Long Gone.

Right. I'd love trying to explain that one to non-cultists. *g*
I played around with any number of pitching references but discovered that they've been co-opted by a Dorch author who has terrible covers and even worse character names. (Brek Stryker-- and of course he's a pitcher. Kason Rhodes. Risk Kincaid. Jacy Grayson. And the team name is the Rogues. No shit.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What the hell is UP with those covers? Is it just me, or do they look a) cheap and b) unprofessional?

That's Dorchester for you. I am SO OVER cartoon covers, I can't even tell you.

I suppose Meatball Man, Circus Catch, and Toeing the Mendoza Line are right out then. ::sighs::
Seriously, I have no good ideas. Yet. Let me think on it.

And can you imagine the reaction that "Toeing the Rubber" would get? ::snerk::
