The Oxford English Dictionary would like to congratulate the Linus Pauling Quartet for their advancement of the English Language. This year it is our honour to add to the dictionary a new compound word created by the LP4; a word to which the Queen herself has taken a liking in…
[What happens when your main discussion is marred by a bad decision to be histrionic and over the top? Repost your one possibly interesting idea in your own blog.] I have always had a hate/love relationship with Rock music but I will say this. People always say “Well rock songs…
Since I keep getting bot comments like “I read you website and it seems pretty interesting. You should check out my blog shittyinvestments.com” Umm…fuck you, you loser! Now I have to have people go through the hassle of “word verification” if they want to make any comment because your marketing…
