That's fuckin hardcore.

in case you're not up on shit, here's a link to all the Mars Volta records- including the often forgotten Tremulant EP - the only things missing are probably the live tracks off the Singles, as well as the Bonus tracks off of Frances.
speaking of Mars Volta the March Issue of the Fader has an awesome interview with Omar. check check check checkitout, whatwhatwhat's it all about?


oh yeah, in more sucky news, Kylie Minogue (hey Clarky according to CBC she's only 36) has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. i won't make any bad jokes about the hooky next single going "do do do the kemo therapy with me, (you got to shield your faaaace)"

like slicing meat.

okay, I understand what you're getting at... but that doesn't make it any more gramatically correct.

You misunderstand me. What I meant is that "hauls jet" is a conjugation. My example of "I hauls jet" was a question. It's just as clearly the wrong conjugation as "I needs me some betel nuts", but the latter can be used for effect (it's not grammatically correct, but can have a connotation of its own in that form, and that connotation could be valid. I can't think of a decent example right now, apart from that short animation in Bowling for Columbine, when the guy says "I loves my gun... loves my gun." Perhaps I'm the only person who actually forms sentences like this in speech for the effect...)

Also, I wrote "haul jetting" just to make the point about the confusion (it got you thinking about it, anyway). I guess I should have put it in quotes the first time, in order to make it more clear.

hahaha, I present to you Karen O:

You're jealous of this scarf:



holy shit!

Paras, you made a fundamental mistake in conjugation. And to address your question of tenses, like I said- I called it the "I-don't-know-what-tense" for a reason. But now that I think about it, it's not so much a tense as it is a conjugation based upon a point-of-reference. For example:

"I eat food." versus
"He eats food."

Notice the extra 's'?

Therefore your sentence "man, I sure hauls jet when I need to" is gramatically incorrect as speaking in the first person does not require that 's'. Your sentence should have been "man, I sure haul jet when I need to".

However, the sentence "man, that Grand Arms Panzer sure hauls jet when it needs to" remains acceptable.

Though on further inspection of your message, I'm afraid I might have to retract my initial rule of not adding the "ing" suffix. Your sentence "Then again, what do I know about haul jetting?" is not correct, but I cannot think of any conjugation more appropriate in that context than "hauling jet". In which case, I guess Eric was technically correct in the first place... but I would still recommend keeping it at 2-syllables when possible.

Man, this shit is complicated.

"hauls jet"

Isn't this a conjugation in the context you've used ("man, that Grand Arms Panzer sure hauls jet when it needs to."), not a different tense? Unless "man, I sure hauls jet when I need to" makes sense in a different way than "I needs me some betel nuts".

Then again, what do I know about haul jetting?



Oh, and a follow-up to the Peter McKay situation (this is breaking news, people!! It's almost as big as the Runaway Bride!!), from Harper's Response:

Harper said Stronach's fellow MPs "are feeling quite devastated, quite betrayed by this" – especially Peter MacKay, who has been romantically involved with Stronach for about six months.

"I think Peter's taken this pretty badly, as you can imagine."

So the sugar-mama of canadian politics is a switch-hitter eh?



At 39, she's still lookin pretty good. Being a multimillionaire doesn't make her any less attractive either. But seriously, who the FUCK has teeth that nice???
