Really, if you don't have a gel-filled bra, you don't need to go out and buy one; I promise.

A blog written in part by an old professor of mine is getting a bit more press lately, since it spawned a new book. I decided to go check it out, bored as I was.

At times, it's hilarious. Really. Go check out this analysis of the TSA's sentence: "We encourage everyone to pack gel-filled bras in their checked baggage." I think linguistic geekdom is still one of my favorite ways to geek out. And I think I should buy the book.

I've been reading it for ages; it is the SHIZNAT. Of course, I'm a linguistics major. But still. They discuss Savage Love, the President, the comics, and way too much semantics and graphs all at once! What's not to love?

Only the image of Prof. Liberman talking about Savage Love. But I can get past that; the content is too good.
