May 6, 2013Me: I’ve considered going into advertising, I think I’d be good at idea generation and I love brainstorming, but it kind of feels like using my powers for evil.
Paul: I don’t think that would be a problem, unless you were working on an evil campaign like… guns for babies.
*10 seconds pass*
Me: I’ve got a pitch for the billboard.

April 1, 2013If you tell a historical linguist online that you want to hug him… he will publicly respond on his respectable OUP blog and your shame will want to dig a hole and live there for a while. Simultaneously though, your vanity will leap 5 stories into the air and demand that you immediately publish your name dropping on your less-and-less respectable personal website. Both parts of you are weird, and both things are happening right now:
This one time Anatoly Liberman wrote my full name on the internet.
So I guess if I ever leave this dirt hole I’m living in and go to Minnesota, I could hug my favorite etymologist. Terrifying. Awesome. Terrifying. Awesome.
