i just finished grading one set of exams and i have some news for you.
guys, just so you know these are the other ways that you can spell "Ecuadorean" (which is the NYT's preferred spelling)
* ecuadoreas
* ecuatidians
* equatos

What about equator?

no, equatos

i cannot stop laughing

I'm reading Benjamin Kunkel's Indecision, and the narrator (who, to be fair, isn't so sharp when it comes to the world around him) calls them "Ecuadoris."

hahahaha oh god

equations

Also, FYI
The ancient pyramids of the Aztecs were made 100 years ago.

NO. Wait, really? Can't be.

so THAT'S who built the pyramids!

100 year old Aztecs.

that's what my dad said

someone explain this crossword clue: big foot? = EEE

is that a european shoe size or something?

width?
or maybe it's like OMG BIGFOOT EEEEEEEEEEEE

EEE indicates width in a shoe size. It also shows up in a lot of crosswords.

Tausig's puzzle this week was the easiest of his I've ever done: I did it on the way home the other night, and I was done before I got to Fullerton.

yeah, i agree, super easy (both the inkwell one and the one in the Onion)

i like doing easy crosswords though :>

Yeah, I meant the Inkwell one. Haven't done the Onion one yet.

the past couple of weekends sarah and i have taken the onion and reader crosswords with us to brunch and traded them back and forth while waiting for our food. most obnoxious cute couple thing to do y/n?

y

no, that's a good system

more obnoxious than doing it: braggin on the internet about doing it

;)

but if i don't brag, who will appreciate the beauty of our pure love?

the baby jesus

señora roboto

equato sounds like one of those made-up fruits where they force two fruits to have sex to one another. like ... a cantelope and ... a tangerine ... and a ... blueberry. a menage a trois de fruits.

Mel Gibson's Equato

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD? GIVING REMEDIAL COMPUTER LESSONS TO 50 YEAR OLD WOMEN. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T ACTUALLY WANT HELP, THEY WANT ME TO GIVE UP AND DO IT FOR THEM. GOD I LOVE THAT. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.

HOW DO YOU BROWSE FILES? HOW DO YOU BROWSE FILES? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

It's entirely possible that I have had too much coffee.

I'm going to be doing crosswords alone forever.

Pluots are so delicious.

I prefer doing crosswords alone, too.

But that's largely because I like the sense of pride and accomplishment, where I can be like I DID THAT ALL BY MYSELF.

Wamu's hold music sounds like the intro for "Like a Virgin"

before i moved in with jen our sunday morning ritual was doing the online crossword in the irish times, euro spellings fucked us every time.

i have an as yet unfulfilled fantasy about sunday morning in bed, including a lady, coffee, and crosswords. maybe waffles.

my left eye has been twitching uncontrollably for the last few days, wtf

Hey, what does "FTW" stand for?

for the win
