Help me. Is it true?
Truth is not contained in sentences; they are contained in experience. Your acquaintance who wrote this sentence clearly has delusions of grandeur. Does he ever steal your lunch?

It depends on your own personal preference. If you want to go with book style, that's fine. However, the magazine/newspaper style of titles has a bit of flair, especially if they are longer. Just don't make it so I have to correct your mistakes.

Dearest Guru, I humbly ask:

Are you as amused by LordEden's malapropism as I am? Did you even see it? Your answer suggests to the contrary, though I suppose you may have just been acting polite.

Also, did you take my ladle with the red handle? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

And finally, why is it that although I walk for miles I never actually seem to get anywhere?

As you can see, I have been hoarding my queries in anticipation of your triumphant return.

Yes I was amused, and yes I saw it. But I ignored it directly. However, you will note a hint of irony in my response to him.

"The Wave" was pioneered by Edgar M. P. Daftwager at the opening of Yankee Stadium in 1923 during the Yankees' first game at their new home. Mr. Daftwager, having built quite a thirst in the hot sun, was trying to flag down a beverage vendor. He also had bad knees and so was bobbing up and down, waving both hands in the air, as he was trying to get the attention of the boy who would sell him a drink. Since the stadium was recently opened, the service was slow, as a result of inexperienced vendors, and so Mr. Daftwager kept trying to flag someone down.

It was at this time that the Yankees were down by two runs and had a man on base. The crowd was getting a bit excitable and a few around Mr. Daftwager noticed his antics and began to mimic him, in synch, as they thought it was a great way to cheer on the batter. Further on down the stadium, others took notice, and the crowd "passed it on" and a wave ensued by freak chance. After this unintentional wave impressed and awed all in attendance, every wave thereafter was done on purpose.

What is little known today is that "The Wave" was originally known as the "Daftwager Dance."

Denial is destroying you both.

Both chocolate and vanilla are good.

There is nothing wrong with being "so vanilla," but there is nothing wrong with being obvious, either.

Just dig in and enjoy it already.

To inflate sporting balls, modern technology uses a simple, yet highly effective valve mechanism. The robust design is such that it allows for the ease of inflatability while ensuring high performance.

It is a common observation to notice that, over time, sporting balls will lose their air pressure. This, I assure you, is built purposely into the valve design for safety purposes. A ball without such a mechanism risks such things as unintentional rupture, which not only results in irreversible damage to the ball but may also injure nearby parties.

Below I have included some basic diagrams that depict the common sporting ball air valve from varying angles and, in some cases, I've included ones displaying specific details. This design is used in most products available on the market for both the professional and the amateur.

Bear in mind, however, that these diagrams have been simplified for the distinct purpose of educating the layman. However, it is worthwhile to note that the elegant simplicity that you see below in the air valve design is maintained even when viewing schematics meant for the engineer and manufacturer. So while the diagrams below may make the technology seem deceptively simple, it is indeed an intended part of the design.

Enjoy.

I had no idea basketballs incorporated carburetors. This adds quite a bit to my appreciation of the sport.

Well...back in my home village of Delhi, we have a system of traditional medicine native to our people. It draws from the natural power of the colour wheel. From it we balance our mental and physical states by delving into complementary and opposing forces.

In your case, depending on the hue of green that your curry presented, you would benefit from balancing it with either a purple, red, or orange curry.

I've tried Opera, yes.

But I didn't like it, so I switched to Firefox from Internet Explorer instead. I used Firefox for several years up until recently when I switched to Chrome (which, by the by, I highly recommend).

Here, you are referring to those among the former colonists who choose to deviate from the norm. These "Loyalists" will often opt to use double-Ls, as well as perhaps "-our" over "-or" and/or "-re" over "-er." However, it is rare for them to abide by the sensible metric system, as they cling deserately to that horrific imperial system.

Perpetual syndication is a kind of sainthood for cancelled television programs. Terrible example.

I asked because my classmate's Droid phone kept autocorrecting it to "canceled" and there was a big debate.

Absolutely horrific: both the occurrence (lackadaisical programming) and the debate (of which there is none).

I feel it is a reflection of the violence and suffering that is innate in our natures and rife in our societies. It demonstrates how we as individuals must take responsibility for our fates and to make it a priority to overcome our own suffering.

I think the series provides a great moral lesson for young minds. I recommend it to parents everywhere. Though I would suggest skipping the bulk of the 100 or so episodes and merely watching the series premiere and finale/TV movie.

This is a common misconception. Alcohol actually removes the inhibitions of one's true intelligence. It's an evolutionary mechanism that we hide this intelligence through pretense and acting. Alcohol removes the anxieties we have over protecting our true selves. It allows us to be who we truly are.

Alcohol is a liberating thing.

Do not be ashamed of your experiences with this beautiful celestial draft, for it would mean being ashamed of liberation.
