Some science fiction series - might have been Retief - had an alien race whose language had different possessive pronouns depending not only of the sex of the speaker, but on the relationship/thing being referred to.

Surely some language here must do this? I mean, already romance language possessives are based on the object, not the subject.

although one sounds a little too much like Peter Coyote.

How can this be bad? I've watched random stuff just because he's narrating it. Then again, I watch random stuff, so...

Dear lady at the supermarket:

When you open the conversation by admitting that you don't actually know where the hummus is, please don't spend the next five minutes listing all the places it could be. I am too polite to simply walk away from you.

Signed,

Still Got No Fucking Hummus

I'd like it noted that the destruction of Jesus and mý being in Ohio are entirely coincidental.

And I have an alibi.

I finally feel like I work here for real -- I sent things outside of the organization, both electronically and via the mail. Many procedures were followed!

Now I get to go on vacation.

I finally turned on the game and Peter Coyote is gone, as is the UK announcer. I fear this means I will be disappointed by these announcers.

On the upside, I will laugh and laugh if this game is a draw.

Dana--I'm reminded of a late night in a Chicago suburb supermarket when I was with a friend and we asked where the hummus was, and the guy said "Hummus? Um...I don't think we sell those"

The next two people I asked were able to point me to a tiny jar of "Wild Grain" hummus.

This is why I have baby carrots but no hummus.
