in his treatise on bromides, burgess lists 47 trite remarks used by the narrow-minded. he says:
…
he calls these phrases bromidioms. perhaps the single shiniest bromidiom of our time is <ahem> “that’s what she said.” here are a few from burgess’ time. it’s a gas to see how little things have changed in the intervening one hundred years:
“I don’t know much about Art, but I know...

MAKE IT STOP
Oh. My. God.
A 14 1/2 hour drive home from Nashville. Which is fine. What’s not fine? The blue collar comedy chanel on XM radio. And the fact that Mom loves it.

Roadtripping with Mom
On the road to a wedding in Nashville, TN. The wedding of my mom’s best friend’s son, who happens to be one of my best friends to be precise. Tytus is one of those friends you know you’ll have forever, no matter.
Anyway. My mother is a horrible driver. I will not elaborate, because I am already nauseated from typing this while she is behind the wheel.
Whoever is driving picks...

the ragbag: concerning oatmeal →
When rolling through the glens of the Highlands in your touring car, you may be overcome by the desire to ‘go antiquing’. Aside from the whole stake-through-the-groin noun-as-verb pitfall, and the logistics of tying wooden furniture to your Mazda Miata, there is another booby trap lurking for the unwary. Never buy a sweet granny’s Scots pine dresser without checking first for the oatmeal...

Sound of Music?
I put The Sound of Music on hold at the Library recently. So when I got the call that it was available, I went to get it. As the guy behind the counter was walking from the back room with my DVD, he was snickering. Snickering. “So”, he says, “Is this for school or your professor or something?”
“…..Um…. it’s for my nieces?” I say it like...

Dear Coke Talk: On why you even bother
“Your real problem is that you think you have a problem. You’re not experiencing bad luck, you don’t need to re-evaluate your judgment, and you’re not a fucking dairy cow.

“…Part of the problem here is that you’re missing the point about what it means to be open minded. As a Christian, you’ve co-opted a set of canned answers to life’s greatest mysteries. It’s bullshit…
