But! I'm glad you're finding it interesting enough for further exploration. And I love my pirate-motif waste-disposal device!<br /><br />-- EditrixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777603.post-1105621912600374742005-01-13T07:11:00.000-06:002005-01-13T07:11:00.000-06:00Misplaced apostrophe?

But I beg to differ: the only somewhat questionable apostrophe issue here is whether it should say "Furnaces' <I>Blueberry Boat</I>" or "Furnaces's <I>Blueberry Boat</I>." My preference about the infamous "s'" issue is: if as pronounced, the apostrophe adds an extra syllable ("Jesus's"), add the "s"; if not, don't. No one sez "furr-niss-iz-iz" now do they... Or is this a symptom of my prowesslessnesslessness?2fshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813487704459856169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777603.post-1105596902047750202005-01-13T00:15:00.000-06:002005-01-13T00:15:00.000-06:00There is a mis-placed apostrophe in this post.There is a mis-placed apostrophe in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777603.post-1105590291725820182005-01-12T22:24:00.000-06:002005-01-12T22:24:00.000-06:00Oh, not a criticism at all!

It's just the Brubeck song's rhythm they steal, anyway - but that's the sort of "stealing" that's more homage than rip-off...and even if it's not, it's just a little wink. (So, uh, my "indie rock tribute to Dave Brubeck" mix is exactly two songs long now - this, and Pavement's "5-4=Unity"...)2fshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813487704459856169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777603.post-1105578379914505552005-01-12T19:06:00.000-06:002005-01-12T19:06:00.000-06:00>>
