five things for cereta

[fox]

This was really hard!  I can't pretend I've done well, but here are five things Blair has said that Jim will never, ever admit made a helluva lot of sense:

1.  "No, it's not alphabetical and it's not chronological -- my filing system is organic, man."
2.  "But if she knows I got the message then instead of not calling her all this time I'll actually have been Not Calling Her All This Time, and I'm way better off if she hates me than if she's angry."
3.  "Two linguists are walking down the street.  Which one is the specialist in contextually indicated deixis and anaphoric reference resolution strategies? ... The other one.  Hahaha!"*
4.  "Chicks dig the hair."
5.  "Bang!  Holy grail time."

*with thanks to ellen_fremedon and apologies to her and all my fellow linguists everywhere :-)

OK, I'm a geek; I laughed out loud at the linguist joke. (Though I only understood the jargon by reference to the punch line.)

Actually "contextually indicated deixis" is a little redundant, because all deictic expressions -- by definition -- depend on context. (And the bit about anaphoric reference resolution strategies ... the punch line might be funnier if it were "that other one".) But never mind. :-)
