Re: Random Thread
Did anyone actually specify how tall Mr. Clean is? The text that came with those figures, perhaps?

Re: Happy things thread!
Band practice today went fantastic . My collaborator paid me a huge compliment: One of our WIPs ends with a vamped passage for the outro (for the recording it’s supposed to fade out) and I decided to go a little nuts with the ride cymbal, snare, and toms. When we ended it, he had a grin and told me ...

Re: Confusing headlines
From a local X feed (19 Action News): They're keeping smaller birds from pooping all over and making a mess of the city. Initially I read this as They're [keeping smaller birds from pooping all over] and [making a mess of the city]. and not They're keeping smaller birds from [pooping all over and ma...

Re: Venting thread
Got hit with a slur today by some guy who claimed that English has stopped evolving and is now frozen. This is the first time I can recall having been hit with a slur that refers to a group I belong to.

Re: LCS Subdomains Currently Down
Update: Looks like the subdomains were restored but not pushing new changes. I tried to add a new page to one of my hosted sites but it still errors instead of displaying what I just uploaded (persists upon multiple and spaced-out refreshes).

Re: Twin Aster
Sudden bolt of idea while I was on the can earlier: I've previously mentioned that XTC has a sort of construct state function that forces a second-register tone on the second (modifier) noun. It occurs to me that, while I knew that I wanted the city to be called " Mjuy Baong " (ignoring to...
