Hocus Pocus

From Ann’s dual-USB iBook, January 2008:

Here’s what I really want: a Christmas album from Buddy and Julie Miller.

You said it.

Kriss: “So Jon, have you been to one of those iStores?” (Jon: “You mean the Apple Store, Kriss?” “Yes!”)

Linda: “I don’t know, I believe it was something about the cake going down your hole.”

Alisa: “You can’t have not a belly button.”

Shannon/Jon/derek: “Do I smell dope?”

Ann: “Sometimes a girl gets a sore butt.”

Shannon (of the sun): “We are talking about a heated object.”

Lucy: “Google.”

Ann: “It’s garlic Jesus.” Jake: “Does Jesus come in other flavors than garlic?”

Kriss: “I like having church on the couch.”

Alisa (?): “We’ve got to get our inaccuracies straight.”

Unknown: “That was a statement of exaggeration.”

I want a car audio system with a USB port that will play music that’s stored on a connected flash drive (in a specified folder or whatever), giving me options to play the music in different ways (by album, artist, randomly, etc). Ideally it would also have a small display to show embedded album art.

I want to be able to authorize a user or users to view an online map showing the current (or last known) location of my cell phone.

Humbling (or disturbing?) fact of the day: 60.1% of Americans voted against Abe Lincoln.

Jon: “Of course, some of us poop in our pants.”

Kriss: “There’s too many legs here!”

Eli: “I went over here so people wouldn’t smell it!”

Ann: “Gaborgachev” and “Assarafat”

derek: “He’s got a thing for crazy, apparently.”

Alisa: “Get busy making Chex Mix, or the Chex Mix will get busy making you.”

Wanted: A compelling example illustrating this distinction.

Yes, it really does matter whether you use in to or into.

After years on the run, the bank robber turned himself in to the authorities.

This does not mean that he finally succeeded in becoming an authority himself (as “into” would).
