The perils of "search & replace" in documentation.

ITYM "Y'all".

Ceiling cat is watching your profligate flagellation.

Sneak out the back, Jack! Make a new plan, Stan!

Thanks, Don

Yeah, whatever.

"Catch-22", right?

Good guess, but no.

No clu>"Catch-22", right?

Probably not. That was Hemingway.

You do know that Steinbeck died before completing "Slaughterhouse Five", don't you?

IFYPFY.

Yes, Ingmar Steinbeck wrote a number of those D&D-type novels, before Operation Sundevil.

I'm in a production of "TomFoolery" that closes this weekend.

If you think a little about what prompted me to ask the following question, however, you might understand why there seemed to be another:

Only half bullshit, actually. The phrase appeared in the July 19, 1990 Fresno Bee, but it was put there deliberately as a joke.

I doubt anyone knows, since he didn't even write it.

It was Kurt Vonnegut.

Great book. Great flic.

No one claimed he did. Steinbeck used a typewriter. (Now on display at San Jose State University).

It would've been better if Vonnegut had contented himself with completing Steinbeck's novel in Steinbeck's style, rather than trying to rewrite it in "Vonnegutese". Hemingway would've done a better job of it.

Um . . . yeah. That's what he said. Kind of difficult for Steinbeck to write "Slaughterhouse Five" when he's dead and all.

Who was?

Hollywood should make more movies out of Steinbeck novels. Why just "Slaughterhouse Five" and not one of the others?

I suspect you've made quite a few people here happy by inferring that ignorance is sufficient justification for incorrect usage.

You expect facts to get in the way of Dank spewing his poisonous, pitiable bile?

The only ignorance I see here is yours, toward perfectly normal language shift.

Feel free to make yourself feel unhappy about it; I promise that won't ruin my day.
