ZOMG Craig you have a racist dog.

I don't know if we can be friends anymore.

THINK OF ALL THE MONEY YOU MIGHT MAKE

No money yet, but lots of cute dogs. Also some scary ones.

I got an email about five new upcoming courses from Mit edX. I think I'm going to try the one for Introduction to Biology. Wish me luck

[Squirrel]

Wow. I definitely have ABAS. This 5 hour stretch with out any posts is driving me crazy.

I have orchestra rehearsal in 30 minutes. It's 30 minutes away. I'm still in my PJs, haven't showered, and have made the coffee but not yet imbibed any. Thus, logically, I am posting on here instead of getting off the couch. 10 am seems so much earlier on Saturday than on other days.

Ha. I think my mom was planning on me going to the temple with her at 8:00 this morning. But then she never woke me up, so I didn't wake UP until 8:00. Not that I was complaining about sleep.

[Squirrel]

Ugh. I'm listening to boardcast #7. Bananas and pineapples. PINEAPPLE IS ALREADY PLURAL, PEOPLE! GAHH! thank you. I'm okay now. Carry on.

[Marduk]

Um, what? Pineapple is plural?

[Giovanni Schwartz]

In Chinese, there are no plurals.

[Talons]

pineapplemen

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Copies of a pineapple.

Pwned.

[Tally M.]

I really wish I could like that post you just made, Gio...

[Squirrel]

Example: Would you like some pineapple? Would you like some bananas?
you don't say "Would you like some pineapples?"

[UffishThought]

Example: "I have three pineapples" vs "I have three pineapple."

Also, the handful of dictionary sites I looked through listed "pineapples" as the plural.

[Squirrel]

Oh! I'm talking about slices of pineapple, and you guys are talking about the whole fruit, with spines and everything.

[Squirrel]

haha...well, ummmmm..... *cough*........

[Marduk]

You'd do the same with bananas, though. If I had a few segments of banana cut up and offered to you, I'd say "do you want some banana?"

[Squirrel]

Maybe it's just a squirrel's-childhood-home kinda thing to group whole bananas with slices of pineapple.

[Katya]

Dear Sally,

I'm sorry for ever hating on you. I mean, when there are things like this in the world, I realize what a great person you actually are.

Love,

Me.

Sally = Sally DeFord?

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Yes. Very yes.
