I've always been saddened that Shawinigan handshake never caught on as vocabulary, although obviously the opportunities to use it in conversation are limited.

It's not really over 'till the thin lady sings.
And knowing Canada, probably not then either.
You've omitted one of my favourite details of this imbroglio: that when asked on Friday for a comment on the rumours of a coalition, Chretien promptly responded "Je ne comprends pas anglais."
Mr. Watt-Evans
If Cofax's logically reasoned argument does not move you, I would personally implore you: stop digging. It is physically painful for me to watch.
Dear Making Light Denizens:
The words of Sanders and his defenders have been repulsive, but your reactions have been a tonic skillfully administered. Thank you.
I mod at a message-board with 800 members, which is smallish as message boards go, but bigger than we ever really expected. I think one of the things that's really worked is to have a consensus on what we'll tolerate and what we won't. It helps that all my co-mods are awesome, but writing down: "the following are NOT OKAY," has been one of our best moves.
@anyone with experience at modding:
One of the things I haven't figured out how to deal with is the person who is well intentioned but so stupid that every comment they make throws a veil of confusion and idiocy over the thread. Are there ways to encourage them to lurk more?
I've heard that freezing them is the best way to deal with damp books, sublimation being neater than evaporation.
The folks who hang out here may not have seen Faust's SASE, but will certainly appreciate it.
Regarding the acceptability of vat-grown human flesh to vegans, (far upthread) I have come across vegans who felt that it was acceptable to consume their own (their child's?) placenta.
I kind of think that if you're craving meat so much that placenta looks tasty, you should probably look into free-range and organic farming and admit veganism isn't for you.
