HOLY HELL THERE'S A BAKERY CALLED "BAGUETTABOUTIT" →
Many thanks to Bianca for giving me the memo on this
cking-ing it up
I am in favor of making nouns and adjectives that end with c’s into verbs, if only because I like the extra “k” that shows up in the gerund and past participle.
“Yeah, we used to be dating, but now we’re just platonicking.”
“Man, I was gin & tonicking all night long.”
“Oh snap! You just got ironicked!”

Music o'Clock
Wouldn’t it be cool if “7 o’clock sharp” meant slightly after 7 instead of exactly 7, and then we said “7 o’clock flat” for slightly before 7? If ever I’m late for something described as starting at such and such time “sharp”, totally using that as my excuse.
entschuldigung-ho
Really enthusiastic about apologizing. In German.
New Best Halloween Costume Idea Ever
Get a big group of people and go as all the things Mark Sheppard has ever been. There’s a good twenty costumes right there. Better idea: carry around a giant bag o’ Mark Sheppard costumes, and be a different character every hour. Romo Lampkin? Bring a cane. Badger? Nifty bowler hat plus tie. Crowley? A hellhound (i.e. an iPod making disembodied dog noises).

Proof that I'm qualified to be a mathematician
In 1983, Miles Reid needed a term for resolutions of singularities that had no discrepancies with the canonical class of the manifold. To make it clear they weren’t discrepant, he invented the world “crepant.”
OK, math, throw some math at me and I’ll invent the SHIT out of some words.

There needs to be a liquor called November.
That way we can all drink fifths of November for the fifth of November. And NO ONE will remember it.
Im Jahr 2007 dieser Fisch hat eine verrückte Sache
When I’m trying to get Google Translate to tell me something about German grammar, I feel the need to create complete sentences to be sure it’s correct, meaning that I end up asking for translations of things like “In 2007 this fish did a crazy thing” to figure out, say, what preposition goes before a year.
Ah, language…

NEED WORK WAY THROUGH THREE AND A HALF SEASONS NOW
My impression is that it will probably be a one-off. I mean there will probably be details about the current season arc, but you can just write it off as “lots of manly pain.” (That is every season arc.)
So you could…
Wait a minute. So there’s going to be MORE manly pain in the seasons to come?

NEED WORK WAY THROUGH THREE AND A HALF SEASONS NOW
Dear Oakland bars,
Please do not play current episodes of Breaking Bad when I have only reached the beginning of Season 2. It makes me want to infer what crazy meth-addled adventures await, and I’m too damn good at inferring.

My Favorite Nanoisms of 2011 Thus Far
(From here)
“The best stories are about small and delicate things,” the writer said. Then the universe exploded.
“With this device I shall change history! The accursed name of Adolf Hitler will be erased from the annals of European painting!”
“Phone me,” her note read. The linguist overlooked the space, was mildly confused, and let another opportunity slip away.
