Way too creepy - far too close to Mrs Couter's daemon.

For ages I've wanted to dress up like The Beadle and apply for an Arts Council (no apostrophe) to be the Apostropher Royal.
I'd walk round with a long stick with a marker pen on the end, and a bell. My duties would include correcting errant apostrophes, then ringing the bell loudly to expostulate on what had been wrong and why it was now better.

Actually, the interview with the bloke that I saw, he certainly wasn't a grammar fascist. He happily admitted that he isn't the final word on the subject and that people might come along and correct him, but that at least he was trying to put right the more obvious ones.

@g - we never sanitised much with our first, either.

I've never needed an excuse to follow a nice arse. In fact, this would detract from the proper elegance of a shapely pair of cheeks.

It strikes me that waking in time with daylight makes plenty of sense - cheaper for a start.

I used to live near Pratt's Bottom and Badger's Mount.
Not far from where I now live are two hamlets Homer and Wig-wig.

When you think about it - how likely is it that we'd be able to walk in a reliable straight line? Any deviation will eventually bring you back around - a straight line is highly improbable.

I'll bet he said "full stop" instead of "period".

Splendid stuff.

Best parenting advice ever...."Do what seems natural and tell everyone rude enough to comment that it's your choice."

"How much for the little girl?"

@Foreigner1 - Yes, but the Dutch generally maintain theirs and don't leave people sitting about in a swamp for some months/years while fixing the mess.

What I don't understand is that since New Orleans isn't really a very good idea, what with being underwater and all - why live there?

Bet the designers will get pushed by the marketing department to make them go faster instead of further.

eni - I think moop's talking about the Weburbanist site. I agree - it's utterly dire - worse, I can't find a reliable filter for AdBlock!
That toolbar at the bottom is really intrusive - even when you turn it off it doesn't go away completely. The layout is very cluttered and hard to use.
A long vertical scrolling effort isn't good, either. It needs to be broken into several smaller pages.

I notice Neatorama's pages are getting longer, too. Is there any particular reason behind it? Stuff that's more than a couple of days old needn't be visible on the front page.
