Some quotes from recent vacation and the road trip to get there:
"Killingly? They named the town Killingly? Really?! They could have at least called it Killingly Softly!"
"... hopefully they at least have a Softly street somewhere in that town." (Related to the above)
"Recipe for chocolate soup: buy chocolate. Leave unattended in warm car for at least half an hour. Congratulations, you now have chocolate soup!"
"Stop whining about having to go to the bathroom and go to the bathroom already before I start tickling you!"
"Wow, if I was sunburned any worse, my back would be purple instead of red!"
"Nah, the worst would be if snakes could fly. Especially if it was the spitting cobra type that project venom outward and aim for the eyes of other animals..."
"I didn't even know I could get blisters that big..."
- Me: Look at them swimming out there! just want to dive into the water and hug them! Should I?
- Her: No, absolutely not, that is a terrible idea!
- Me: So, a typical me sort of thing to do. In other words, yes. (After seeing a group of wild seals swimming in the ocean, the temperature of which was around 60 degrees fahrenheit or around 15.5 celsius)
So, do I qualify as fun to have on a road trip?

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!In German, ß is a completely different letter, and I'm pretty sure that it sounds different.
This is a signature.I thought German had the Latin alphabet.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseIt does, with a few extra letters. Namely that one, as well as a handful of vowels with umlauts that can barely be called "extra" letters.
I've never heard anyone claim that it's a "completely different" letter, or that it sounds different.
Case in point, you can literally replace it with "ss" in any context without losing any meaning.
Also, the name of that letter is "ess-tsett", which directly translates to "SZ". (Not sure why it's called "ess-tsett" instead of "ess-ess", which would mean "SS", but then, I'm also not sure why Spanish-speakers call "W" "doble-ve", or "double-V", when it's clearly pronounced closer to a U, so, eh.)

Most Germanic languages have a modified Latin alphabet, with several additional letters. Even English is like that.
This is a signature.Which ones are additional in English?
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseß used to be spelled SZ. And I think the Spanish name for W has to do with its look, rather than its sound. It’s not a proper letter in the Spanish alphabet, only appearing in loan-words (same as K).

Spino, I was reading a thing on gawker or something about the new USA gay marriage law thing, there was a segment about people who tweeted that they were moving to canada, except gay marriage has been legal in canada for like 10 years. Anyway...

You can not go to Utah again after you have eaten Utah and have not eaten."Will you also consent to being searched?"
"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."
I don't know what's sadder, the fact that that guy used that character in the word "boss", or the fact that I know it says "boss"...
(someone on a Youtube video spelled the word "boss" as "boß". why? I have no damn clue.)
