On Semantics

I understand and mostly agree with people who want to discourage usage of the word "retarded" to describe things that are silly. Developmental handicaps don't happen to people because they've done something to deserve it.

But if they're running late for something, I think we should still be able to call them "tardy."

A Scat Poem

Drop that deuce
Upon my uvula
The peanuts make it
Taste peculia'

Now imagine Anne Murray singing the words to the tune of "You Needed Me".
