Sometimes I think we should just give up and let "alot" be a word.
Nooooooooo! I would hate that. A lot.
eta: Although I was really surprised when a friend of mine (who has an English degree) didn't know "alot" is not a word.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like the first one (or did last I read it) but even the box sets usually leave it out for some reason.
The second book really steps it up though - I would definitely not stop at one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, whether you like the book or not, that's just wrong.

Question: does anyone here drive a Subaru Forester, and if you do, is it newer than 2005?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've heard from multiple people to skip the first one, but I have to start with it when I get around to reading the books because...I'm me.

Jilli! We had a conversation last night that made me think of you.
The Boy was wearing a long black velvet dress and black button-up boots, and it led to the conversation of What's the difference between a regular ninja, and a goth ninja?
A: Velvet.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Question: does anyone here drive a Subaru Forester,
Yes!
and if you do, is it newer than 2005?
No! Mine's a 2003.

I couldn't resist checking alot on Wordnik. [link]
Love the 'Used in the same context' section. Wordnik has replaced my previous quick dictionary links. Much more fun.

That page should have a big red 'X' through 'alot.'
