This may only be interesting to other language dorks, and if you're a true language dork and not a poser like myself, you probably already know about it: Language Log, a group weblog about language and linguistics. The contributors include celebrity linguists, former professors, and former student-colleagues who are now far more successful than I am. They're all great and entertaining writers. OK, forget what I said about "only interesting to language dorks," because the weblog covers pop culture aplenty, for instance stupid Starbucks' cup size nomenclature, Hook 'em Horns sign: satanic?, and Prince Harry's costume should not be taken as an indirect speech act that indicates approval of the Nazi regime. ::

3. an extraordinary soft rocker
is now gracing the web with his very own weblog. Give it up for Greg Beets! (crowd roar)! ::

Swapatorium found some mug shots of ladies from the 1940s. They all have fabulous hair. ::
