This just in from Mike in Kauai.
There are roosters freaking everywhere on that Hawaiian island.
Who would have thought?

You know that someone is a grammar fiend if they’re making corrections to a sign on the back of a bathroom stall door.

Nicknames
Nicknames are really quite wonderful. They represent a closeness between two (or more) people, a special way of greeting that goes beyond the formality of a person’s actual name.
For example, I call my dad “Fred.”
He calls me “Muffinhead.”
Still, you have to be careful that the moniker that you bestow does not have a double meaning. If it does, regardless of your sincere intentions, other people are going to think you’re an ass.
This is why one of my good friends who’s planning on referring to his future wife as “Muffintop” should not.
Not familiar with that term? Well, in many circles, that seemingly innocent epithet refers to the layer of fat that rolls over a person’s jeans … not nearly as endearing as it sounds.

Observations about baking soda
Here’s my personal insight for the day:
Baking soda is used for baking (of course).
It sits on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator to get the stink out.
It makes a great laundry detergent.
It offers a refreshing tingle as a toothpaste.
Does this creep anyone else out?
I mean it’s cool … but it’s kind of creepy.

The earnestness of being earnest
I just noticed an e-mail in my inbox with the subject line:
Advice from a lawyer (Not a joke).
It makes me a little nervous that we deem it necessary to clarify suggestions from a legal professional as being earnest in nature.
Yikes.
What does this imply about our judicial system?
