  1. Irony is over; the circle is closed. Probably Bad News uses an Onion article: http://bit.ly/4Z3l8M
  2. The Macy's Day parade will come sooner than later. http://bit.ly/4K4XWg
  3. The Macy's Day parade will some sooner than later.
  4. more lowercase silliness. (And another excuse to mention Regina Spektor.) http://bit.ly/86WVi1
  5. @TEALJeffDeck "This past summer" is fine. I think even "this summer" works if you mean summer of this year.

  18. In Andre Agassi's new book I find the odd retronym "snow sledding." As opposed to ...?
  19. Unfortunate homograph: One who sews is a sewer. (Cue Laverne DeFazio: "A sewah?" "Yeah, a sewah!")
  20. @thestew "Artisanal" is overused, but I don't have a particular aversion. Yet. Now, the way "Top Chef" contestants use "a protein" ...
