I remembered to save some of the chat text from last night, and I think this was my favorite bit of all. What happens when you throw two dozen geeks into a room and get them on about the language during commentary about “the deer hunter vote?” This:

Athenae: A brace of woodcock!
John_O> Don’t tell Cheney.
Elspeth> ha, A said ‘cock’!
Athenae: Elspeth, yeah, we call it Tuesday.

I wrote ‘a pride of leons’, like Leon Panetta, Leon the Assassin, and Ponce de Leon.
j3, fixed it. Teach me to try to run the spell check in the van.
A.
And the feeling is mutual, A. What a merry van of crackers! Or whatever…
shouldn’t it be poocats?
