Oh, and my baby is much cuter than your baby.

[Jonathan]

One of the best things about the years I lived in Boston was the clam chowder. Amazingly good.

[Jonathan]

Yes they do.

[[deleted user]]

I would like to try clam chowder one day.

[ms.petra]

do you all prefer Manhattan or New England style?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I like both. Manhattan is harder to find.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

New England. It's hard to even find Manhattan clam chowder around here.

[Jonathan]

Manhattan clam chowder is okay, but I would really go out of my way to get good NE clam chowder.

[ms.petra]

I like both. I wondered because I hardly ever see Manhattan style anywhere and it is really good, if that is what I am craving.

[Lori]

OK I always gets confused, which is the cream one? New England right? Hands down, oh yum yum yum.

[Félix]

The best NE chowder I ever had was at a little hole-in-the-wall place in Boston Harbor called The NoName restaurant.

NoName.

I put a little milk in it, I don't like..."

The little bar around the corner from work has the absolute best Clam Chowder that I have ever had. The problem is the guy I usually go there with won't go anymore because the owner teases him about ordering salads for lunch. The owner thinks it is playful, my friend not so much.

[Sally, la reina]

It is a v. good day for chowder. Why do I want to capitalize it? Chowder. I like NE style, that's the white kind, right?

there was a place in PDX that has the BEST creamy chowder this side of the Mississippi.

[Brittomart]

My english professor didn't show up to class today. He's really old, so we hope he's not dead.

[Brittomart]

Did this girl just raise her hand and suggest that poverty is the reason why some people are schizophrenic?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm just glad Jimmy Wales' big mug is gone, replaced with someone named Kartika.

[Brittomart]

Ugh! I got a B+ on that stupid psych paper. And now I'm stressing over this english paper 'cause I've been working on it for two hours, and I've barely got two pages. UGGGHHHHHHHHH!!GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Who did?

Britt, I suggest changing to 8pt font and single spaced Garamond font while you type. Forget all about length and just think about ideas.
Then after you've been writing for a while, SHA-ZAAAM! Put it back to normal and it'll magically pop up to five pages.

[Brittomart]

8 pages. I have to analyze passages from Joyce's "The Dead" and compare the story to watching a movie.

[Sally, la reina]

What movie? A zombie one, I hope.


*googles The Dead*

[Sally, la reina]

I seem to remember the Mother passing out on/near/below the dining room table. And lots of cobblestones.

[Brittomart]

Sally, if I stop doing "wait, I don't mean to say it that way" or "that's too vague," I will get on a roll and then go back and edit later.


And it's not a specific movie, it's just the experience of watching a movie in a theater.

[Sally, la reina]

Cool assignment.

[Brittomart]

I love the topic! I just hate that it's due on Thursday and it takes me FOREVER to write quality shit.

My friends make me feel badly 'cause they can just crap out papers, and I've never been able to do that. Or when I do, I get like, a B+ on them and I'm pissed.

[Sally, la reina]

You can't feel badly, Britt. Bad is an adjective, not an adverb. You can look bad, drive bad, but you can't feel bad because it is a state of mind, not an action.

[Jonathan]

If Britt's friends are having a deleterious effect on her sense of touch, they might make her feel badly.

What is that I'm holding--a cotton ball? No, a lump of burning charcoal! Darn, I'm feeling badly.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Shouldn't it be apropos OF nothing?

[Brittomart]

Wait, so badly isn't a word?

[Brittomart]

Ohhhhhhhhh wait, so "feel badly" means that I'm literally poorly touching something. Like, I'm touching something, but I'm not doing it well.

That makes a lot of sense.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Badly is the adverb, bad the adjective.

[Brittomart]

LG, I think there was a conversation about that early on.

[Brittomart]

For real, Sally, you just blew my mind with that one.

[Sally, la reina]

Well bless you.


Tissue?

I couldn't find it. The only thing I could find was Phil saying "Shouldn't it be apropos OF nothing?"

[Brittomart]

Oh, I thought there was a conversation that followed after that. Whoops, I guess there wasn't.

[Félix]

What?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

All right, who changed it...

[Félix]

Changed what?

[Jonathan]

Where?

[Félix]

Beats me.

[Brittomart]

How?

[Sally, la reina]

Why?

[Jonathan]

Colonel Mustard in the library with the fireplace poker.

[Félix]

Whosoever speaketh truth shall inherit the jack-in-the-box.

[[deleted user]]

Magic!

[Jonathan]

I'd rather inherit IHOP.

[Brittomart]

International House of Panqueques!!!!!!

[Félix]

All around the mulberry bush ....

[Jonathan]

Are you chasing a sock weasel somewhere, Larry?
