"Glagolitic" -- love it.
That will be my expletive of choice for the foreseeable future.
Thx!

| ...and if I hear someone use "announcery" thinking it is a real word one more time, I may become "killery". |

"Announcery"
Must be a real word! -- it has a ring of Truthiness to it.

How about a Wikipedia entry for Announcery? Something along the lines of:
A description used by ignorant advertising agency pinheads when telling an announcer that he sounds like an announcer. |

I wonder if the Wiki is out of lockdown.
Steve Colbert created such a stir recently with "Wikiality" that the Powers that Wiki Be made it impossible to contribute.

I read an entry at consumerist.com yesterday in which the source for the statistics quoted was "our ass".  |

Well, they've gotta pull the numbers from somewhere.

Colbert is the funniest thing on TV, except for the local newsguy that reported, "A local sailor was found missing today." OK, dammit! Which was it? Was he found? Was he missing?
And the Wikipedia is the smartest and most unexpexted development on the web--who woulda thunk that thousands of "regular" people could compile an encyclopedia that is, arguably, every bit was accurate as the "professionally" written ones? |

Sweet... I haven't stopped laughing. I LOVE local news. Have you seen the clips of the crazy weatherman out there on the web (Google it... you'll find it)? He's now moved to OUR market.

He also had a fairly long run here in Austin. He didn't seem quite as "crazy" here, but you could tell he wanted to cut loose.

One of my bugaboos these days is "and the building is so architectural." Period!
I think they mean "architecturally interesting", but instead it sounds like "the building looks like we actually hired someone to draw up plans instead of giving a truckload of bricks to a carload of monkeys and let them have at it."
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
