Half-Baked Ideas

Half-Baked Ideas February 17th, 2001 @ 10:10 pm PST

If someone devises a really incredible caper, why don’t we say that it was fully-baked? I’m constantly hearing of half-baked plans. Half-baked schemes. Half-baked ideas. Does anyone have a thoroughly-baked thought?

Struck October 12th, 2000 @ 12:35 pm PDT

I took a class in early 20th century American literature while I was a student at the University of Florida. Every essay, book, or article we read struck someone somehow. I got so disgusted by students saying, “What struck me about …” or, “I was struck by …” that I wrote a response paper asking […]

The Big Dig August 25th, 2000 @ 8:32 pm PDT

I‘ve talked about this happening IRL with several people recently and tonight I finally remembered to visit the site. bigdig.com details “The Central Artery/Tunnel Project” in Boston.

More Vocabulary with Dan: simulblogulation (si·mull·blog·u·lay·shun) n. the new (and pointless) act of identical content being posted to several weblogs simultaneous. I’m sure the authors believed themselves to be funny, but simulblogulation is simply stupid. like that wasn’t gonna happen!

sketchy

sketchy July 4th, 2000 @ 8:35 pm PDT

HEY! sketchy is my word! That’s okay, though. I’ll let you use it. But know that it is mine. After like 6 or 7 years – ever since Bill & Ted – my word was afoot. Now it’s sketchy. And so am I.
