The thing is though, man. Your accent is AWESOME. Don't lose it!

[François]

Heh, I've come to terms with that by now. It's just... Let's say I'd be well and truly chuffed if I never said "tree" instead of "three" again. To say things differently is one thing, to say them wrong is another.

My shoe size is 10.5 wide, but I'm wide across the entire length of the foot when most people aren't, and as a result I can either have comfortable shoes or cheap shoes or nice shoes, but only one of the above at any given point in time.

[Thad]

Yowch; I feel you there -- I'm a 10.5 double or triple wide myself.  (And I don't actually have particularly wide feet, but high insteps.)

Mostly I buy New Balance.  My latest pair fits my left foot fine with standard criss-cross lacing but I had to gap lace the right one to make it fit comfortably.  (My right foot's bigger than the other one is, like a regular Zomby Hoof.)

Maybe it's clubfoot.

I recently bought new boots, which I usually buy oversized (I'm 8.5 or 9 and usually buy 9 or 9.5). I thought they'd stretch (when I tried them on new they were a bit tight but "within spec" for me... they seem to have actually gotten tighter) but they just won't so there goes $250, unless I can get a shoemaker to remove the excessive insole.

I'm mostly pissed because I waited to but from the US since I couldn't get any Red Wing boots up here (with a couple of exceptions) and was trying to buy good quality boots instead of the cheap shit I bought over the last five years.

Place order from game store in the US. Item is about $80 total.

Item is in much worse condition than the store thought, so I decided to cancel. The store is very helpful and refunds my money right away with no problem.

Visa dings me $2 each way on the CAD to USD and USD to CAD conversions.

I wish I knew why is the market for used electronic anything (media, hardware) in Toronto so unbelievably retarded. Back when DVDs were at their peak, most places sold used copies of movies for as much or more than new ones from the usual chain shops. Whenever I go to look for something on Craigslist/Kijiji people are invariably selling a used item for less than a new one. I mean if it was just some people or stores, I'd just say those were the slow crowd, but it's always like this, whatever I'm looking for.

People who debate online by slicing up a post into small, context-free pieces and arguing each piece as if it was a complete thought.

[Disposable Ninja]

... isn't that basically every single Internet argument we've ever had on these for--oh.

[Büge]

It's just a peeve in general. I know it pops up here, but this particular instance occurred when I saw someone demanding a definition for "assault weapons" I provided one along with a few examples, and the person responded by launching into a piece-by-piece rebuttal. I'd had a feeling that I'd regret it and I did.

[Thad]

The letter "s" at the end of Homo sapiens does not actually indicate that it is a plural.  The singular form of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens, not Homo sapien.

Now, that's one of those trivial little things I don't expect most people to know.

However, if you are making a television show about an anal-retentive anthropologist who constantly corrects people for trivial errors, you should probably not have her and another anthropologist use the phrase Homo sapien like FIFTY TIMES over the course of an hour.  Someone involved somewhere in the chain -- writer, editor, science consultant, director, actor -- should at some point fucking catch something like that.

[R^2]

One homo sapiens, several homo sapienses.

[Lottel]

Homo Sapanini

[Classic]

Which is apropos because we're basically saucy, toasted brains sandwiches.

Whenever someone refers to ladyparts as a "vajyjay", I get nervous about eating panini.

[Beat Bandit]

You mean Pa-naynay?

[François]

I bought some fish today. Not much, just a couple phalaylay.

[Friday]

Man, I love eating babaybays.

[Brentai]

Man, I love eating Abobo.
