Huh?

(This tag was accompanied on the same book by: Police, Policewoman, Policewomen, Police department, Police departments, and Police cars. Fer cryin' out loud, enough with the police already.)

LOL

Oh the "women" tags were driving me cray: women detective, women pioneer, women sleuths (That's a very common one), business women, women journalist, women cooks, etc. - becuase you know, that's so odd and all!?!

I did see one that I kept, though - "Women's literature", which is apparently the polite way of saying "Chick Lit".

I agree; what exactly defines a "General" novel? I think it means - "I don't know what this story is actually about.".

Okay some more new "what were they thinking?" tags:

Rabbits - Fiction
antique_myths (as opposed to new myths, I guess)
Canadians - Switzerland - fiction
Drug resistance in microorganisms (in a fiction book)
Man-Woman Relationships - Vermont (like they're different there than in... Maine?)

Canadians and Switzerland are MYTHS!

You just keep on telling yourself that, Hellmark. And we'll keep our chocolate, cuckoo clocks, maple sugar, petroleum, hockey players, and fresh water to ourselves. (Pointing discreetly at the "Location" line under her avatar.)

Well you know, those antiques myths are so rear to find

That "Man-Woman Relationships" tag is a lot more common than I care for.
It makes me think: "Oh grow-up people".

Finland is real. I mean, linux had to come from SOMEWHERE.

I mean, how can expect a a country to be neutral, especially during WWII? Swiss Bikini Team? Really they're german spies.

hrynkiw · 03-25-2011, 06:34 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot about Linux. Nevermind...

It is ok, you're having to deal with a lot right now, learning to cope with not being real.

Is THAT why I've been feeling so odd all afternoon? Well goodness. And here I thought it was just the Friday-afternoon-post-lunch-blues. I'm going to set aside the coffee I thought I wanted and reach for a shot of Reality Cola instead.

(Your quip made me laugh out loud. There isn't a smilie in the menu strong enough to convey that, so I'm just telling you. Bwaha-ha-ha-ha!)
