You made my day this morning by writing tickets for the diamond lane violators at the metered onramp at NE 175th who think that their time is so much more valuable than mine. It's nice to see them pay for their priviledged status. The State needs the money.

They're always catching those goobers downtown when they exit the express lane and get off at Pine St. They roll up to the stop light and there's a smiling trooper handing 'em a nice shiny new ticket and a delay. It makes me smile in a small and petty kind of way.

They like to work the Pine Street exit on rainy days. That way they can stay dry and comfortable.

There is an English word too. Okay it's a phrase because we can't just run words together as in German, it's called "just desserts".

We should do that on Thursday and then top rope "late for dinner". Rad has done that like 3 times now on lead and he makes it look easy.

I meant "Late for Dinner", it's just to the left on the steep face.

OK, I retract. But did anybody else here know there is another word pronounced like dessert, but with one s?

Don't you just love our English language? Only in this phrase is the word used to mean "deserves". Anywhere else, it means "to abandon".

Now that the word police are listening, is it "tow the line" or "toe the line"?

The latter, of course. Think about the meaning of the phrase- to stay within bounds.

that logic doesn't work in these situations... you could plausibly argue the first phrase too by similar logic. you have to know the etymology of the phrase to get it right.
