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.
So, our company is in GREAT upheaval right now, which I can't go into. It's been hell.
BUT I though you'd appreciate this: we have all new marketing people and the new director scrapped the entire Polar Bear campaign immediately. Not only did we hear from the FDA that we should not use "put pain into hibernation" as a selling phrase, but the new marketing director was like, "Polar bears don't hibernate! This is idiotic."
Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

Now I want to come up with wacky marketing plans for this: Give pain an atomic wedgie! Go ahead, pain; make my day! [Note: may be a copyright issue.] This product will fuck pain UP, for real, man!
...this is why I am not in marketing.

Hahahaha, nice!
javachik, that is FUCKING BRILL.
I know it's 2 YEARS later and all, but I am definitely chanting "ItoldyousoItoldyousoItoldyouso...." under my breath.

Pedantry FTW!

As you should.
"Dr." is a title, but "Doctor" is the character's name.
That's very rational, but I like to abbreviate "William" to "Wm" so I'm not sure I can fully sign off on that reasoning. Note, I do write out "Doctor" but I can't explain why.
That's so great. Validation!
I write it out, too, and I think it's because I figured out that's what most, or possibly all, of you people do.
javachick, ha!!
That's great, javachik, even if it was a long time coming.
I'm sure that if I commuted on public transportation I would appreciate the convenience of the Kindle much more.
That's where I really like my e-reader--portability. I carry it in my purse and read novels over my lunch hour at work, while I'm waiting on an oil change, when I'm waiting for friends to show up at the movies, etc. I'm never caught without a book.
