I'm a new fetus! Er, man. Something.

I think he pierced his penis!

Purchase More Posting-Time?

awwww, our little **fetus ** is all growed up now. sniff

I like your new name, but it will take a little while for it to sink in.

You recently had a milestone birthday, right? Was that part of the reason for a new name?

Punch Madonna’s Privates.

21, and no, not particularly.

So, like the new name.

But really, I’m just posting here because there’s 2 different ads for fetus pictures. What have you been up to? Will it ruin your political aspirations if these pictures get out?

A born again doper!

Boy that Korean BBQ is powerful stuff! :wink:

Believe me, if Republican voters knew which Doper I was, I would be toast anyway. Shit, I’ve said too much already!

I just realized that it could’ve been even more disastrous if I walked up to people at the restaurant and went, “Hey, I’m Hostile. Are you the Dopers?” :eek:

It’s hard to identify you with any kind of “hostile” whatever :slight_smile: Are you going to start pitting those of us who mangle English now, or will you continue jotting descriptive notes?

I’m honored! It’s about time, too–if you were a fetus in 2003, you’d be at least 4 in 2007, and definitely in possession of a language.

I find myself growing into a more and more impassioned defender of descriptivism as I learn more about linguistics. Which means I’m not about to Pit someone for using non-standard English (although the written language is a whole different beast from the natural verbal form, being learned, not acquired/generated naturally); but I may Pit someone for Pitting someone else for…ah, fuck it.

I am starting to think, though, that I ought to read some angry prescriptivist screeds to balance it out.

Not bad. :cool:
