Newspapers Are Expensive Blogs
This from the New York Times, that venerable paper of record:
“Andre,” said Mr. McKenna, “you look amazing!”
ACTUALLY, he did not say it in quite that way. It happens that the adjective “amazing,” pronounced with a bunch of superfluous vowels, is how fashion types, and also certain urban gay men and also one or two tuned-in heterosexual copycats, lately express their approval. Amazing has replaced such locutions as “genius” and “major,” which today sound even more old-hat than “fabulous.”
“You look amaaaaazing,” Mr. McKenna said.
More than the vowels are superfluous here!
Now then, Andre, would you mind braining me with that beautiful bottle of pinot? That would be amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.

I will forever be loyal to "Fierce"!!
At least until it's cool again…
Holy shit. There is an advertisement on this site for a dating site for woman seeking millionaires. Yikes. I just fell back into the depression cycle.
Whatever happened to "Fabu!"?
ps… who wants to help me move? I'm buying pizza and beer for the well-muscled help!
Ummmm, damn Sugar. I would totally help you but I broke my leg and the bone is just poking out of my leg. I think I should probaly have that looked at. Next time though.
Just wrap it up in some duct tape… you'll be fine!
Did I mention I've also been stricken with Winehouse syndrome. It's true. I can't even get my beehive out of the front door.
You're a goner then, juju. There is no known cure for Winehouse syndrome. Not even duct tape will work on that one. It's been nice knowing you.
you could use wicker to mend you leg also juju, my husband insists that wicker is the strongest thing on earth.
I'm going to try some wicker instead of handcuffs. I'll let you know how it goes.
