I understand that Ringo Starr contributed the bass line to "Walk Like an Elephant." Do your "student" understand how to make plurals?

There are all kinds of "proper" sentences that don't have a subject, verb and object. I'll allow it.

Not that I know of, although we can't tell for certain until "Mister Stevens" tells us what, exactly, he meant by that. Mr. Stevens is the guy who wrote songs such as "Kyrie" and "Take These Broken Wings" for the 80's rock band "Mr. Stevens." He was also my 7th grade basketball coach/P.E. teacher, who took great delight in the fact that my initials were (and are) "B.S."

I like living here. Not unless he's Dennis Miller. "An" should be used for vowel sounds. If you pronounce the "h," it's not a vowel sound. "An honor," "a house." Again, unless you're Dennis Miller. That is a hell of a thing for you to say to me. ____ ____ ____ _______.

I did not know that. I just picked up Tai-Pan over the weekend. I'm going to start it when I finish rereading the Kot book. Mostly.

Hey, look at it this way: at least you still have coffee at work. Some poor slobs can't even say that. Count your blessings. Nice job on the sentence, buddy. Perfect grammar, though I wouldn't have used the passive voice in the main clause, but that's beside the point. B+ Did you forget to ask a question or what?

Depends on how your workspace is set up. If people approaching your desk see the back of your monitor, just keep something work-related open, make a face like you're concentrating (or constipated) and type away. Try not to laugh too much, but if you do, just play it off as a coughing fit. If people approaching your desk can look over your shoulder, just be vigilant and switch to Outlook if you ever hear anyone coming up behind you. Good luck. Mercy. I missed this the first time. Not a question, but I'll let this one go.

As long as you have good things to say about me, I'm okay with it.

I think he was an actual dealer they, um, dealt with later on down the road. That was just the first thought that popped into my head when reading the story.

Doctor Robert?

Look, kid. If you want me to keep answering your questions, I'm going to have to ask that you go pick up a copy of Strunk and White's Elements of Style and educate yourself on the proper use of apostrophes (pay special attention to application of the possessive case to the third person singular neuter personal pronoun) and semicolons. I don't have an answer to your question, regardless of your grammatical shortcomings. Perhaps with the rise of Ali G and his irreverent brand of British street slang, plus his popularity with the youth of America (save them), we'll be seeing a gradual infiltrat

I got my game right. Unless you replanted the lining out in that garden of yours, the word you're looking for is "resewn." And that is not a question. I will interject, though, that I was kind of hoping you'd rock the Grace Jones look. That is also not a question, but thanks for playing. I was in a similar situation a couple weeks ago, except that it only lasted a few days and I have dental insurance, but it's shitty and I've never used it, and I have no idea what my policy number is or how to go about getting reimbursed, etc. I would advise against using an ice skate to remove

I'll allow it, but it's a stretch.

My first semester, I skipped Astronomy 101 approximately 80% of the time and got an A-. My third semester, I attended only the midterm and final of How Things Work (Physics for Nonmajors) and got a B. Both classes were total guts and were pretty much entirely book-based. If you're not going to lose any insight by not going to class, you don't need to go. It's a good idea to go as often as you can stand it, though. (Full disclosure: as you may know, the "66" refers to the 0.66 GPA I got one semester, which was completely due to the fact that I never went to class.) Married life is treating

The fuck is a corned row? Is that anything like a corned beef?

Mind your damn bidness, Huffhines.

It's sweet that you guys are fighting over me (and by sweet I mean hotter than pistols), but I'll answer the questions around here.

Yeah, I forgot about that. He invented the rotary engine, so that's something.

They killed Christ. Isn't that enough? There is no way to answer this question without an obligatory request for pics "for evaluation purposes only." I was, mainly because his yard is approximately the size of this post editing box. I would refer this question to my colleague Dr. Judy "Dreamin" Freud, who can probably do a better job. She's a chick, though, so you probably shouldn't trust her. It would be difficult to convince me that activities like shopping are as addictive as heroin, cocaine and other drugs are, although I certainly agree that they can be habit-forming.
