Ha ha, John, I was thinking about it the other way around.

Oh shit, if vandalized means run-of-the-mill bathroom-stall graffiti, then I need to add that to my tab, too.

I wrote something on the wall of the Green Mill men's bathroom once, something funny-ish, but I have no idea what it was (drunk).

The graffiti in the women's bathroom at the Bottle is pretty funny, all melodramatic stuff about dating boys in bands, breaking up, and then seeing them on stage again, and how small the Chicago scene is.

From that Craigslist racism essay:
But do they speak English?: “Ideally you are sexy and fun and speak good English.” [It’s too bad this guy can’t. If he did, he’s know that his sentence was technically not written in proper English. A run-on sentence + lack of adverb use does not a good sentence make!]
I don't see what's wrong with that sentence at all. It's not a run-on. And "speak English well" is maybe more proper-sounding than "speak good English," but I think the latter is an accepted colloquialism. I'd maybe put a comma after "ideally," but that's quibbling.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Does she think it's a run-on because it uses "and" twice? I don't know how you would write it any other way: the first one connects "sexy" and "fun," while the second connects "are" and "speak." It's not a serial list. (Not that that would make it a run-on, either. There's only one subject here.)

Compared to the other stuff I read on the Internet (political blogs), things aren't very pedantic at all around here. Most other forums I read are like Bill O'Reilly transcripts in terms of conversation.

Oh, I agree with you, John. I thought saying "pedantic" and "easy" and "snarky" made it clear that I though this person was taking cheap shots. I mean, it's not great English but it's the Internet, so who cares. Also, even if the sentence is poorly constructed, he said he's looking for someone who can "speak good English," not necessarily write proper English, so even the thought behind the criticism is valid if we're going to be all pedantic about everything.

Who's the other guy? He was in the Ice Storm, right?

Oh, I guess they're both on some TV show called Numb3rs?

IMdB tells me he was in The Ice Storm, but I don't remember him. I was going to say, though, if he wasn't in The Ice Storm, he should've been.
He also played Neal's older brother in Freaks and Geeks and Natasha Lyonne's brother in Slums of Beverly Hills.
