Things that people saw a lot of at the Brickyard today.

Indy fans have taste!

There are very few grammatical/spelling mistakes that make me laugh -- other than when someone is on the Mets message board calling someone else an 'ideot' for mistyping a statstic . . .that always makes me laugh -- though it happens more frequently, to no one's surprise on the Yankee's MLB.com site.

See, I don't post correcting those folk becaue well, I rush through shit on the internet -- it's a conversation not a pleading, and no one is paying for my time. . . If you really read I am sure you'll find a good 5 or 10 fuck-ups in this post, because it'll be a longy by my standards.

But I comment here because I saw my favorite knee-slapper of all time reactivated in a Dirty Talk thread -- someone whipped out "for all intensive purposes" instead of 'for all intents and purposes.' I've actually corrected this mistake in a brief that was headed to the Second Circuit, despite the partner arguing forever that it was really 'for all intensive purposes' -- the tipping point to him should have been

WHAT THE FUCK DO PEOPLE THINK 'ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES' MEANS ?????

'For all intents and purposes' is pretty God damn comprehensive -- that means there is no intent OR purpose, for which _____ does not mean ____ .

But are you "intensive' people really trying to say that

"For only really INTENSIVE PURPOSES _____ means _____"

The Country Too Stupid For Irony

Question -- Alanis Morisette: Dumbass for not using any examples of irony in a song called 'Isn't it Ironic'

OR

GENIUS -- for naming a song "Isn't it Ironic' which has no irony in it, thus making it the literal opposite of its title and hence, ironic?

I vote genius, but I always thought she was kinda cute.


Alanis, I love you and your smiling use of common-law irony (otherwise known as Murphy's Law).
