Bam. But cowmelized is in transition, it seems to be tending towards caamolized.
I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

That would be the influence of the Emeril inflection.

I chipped my front tooth (on a champagne bottle, no less). I've never chipped a tooth before. 
and of course, this means GOING TO THE DENTIST.

proud to report I have a lovely fixed tooth, completely undestinguishable from what it looked like a few days ago. It's amazing how they do that, and it took all of about 15 minutes. No whiskey afterwards, I'm afraid, but I did get a green tea beard papas creme puff.

People pronouncing c-a-r-a-m-e-l as "car-mel".
How about joolery? Or nucular? Re the latter, I have heard people besides the President pronounce it that way. Is it possible this is an acceptable alternate pronounciation?

I always thought 'nucular' was regional.

Good. The public has a right to know that type of music is being played in classrooms with 12 year olds, at least by this particular teacher. You've done a public service, and raised awareness, which is good.

My Epstein-Barr shit has kicked in again and now I've got bronchitis, have to start taking these enormous antibiotic pills to kick this cough. And I had two moles shaved off my face because my ENT doc is concerned with their appearance. Ugh.

is that type of music being played in classrooms for 12 year olds by this teacher or was this one incident?
at this point i have to say i can't decide whether public awareness is being raised or the potential for hysteria being created. i'm not saying there's any justification for someone to knowingly expose children to those lyrics in a school environment (though a lot of p-13 movies contain a lot more innuendo). but i haven't read anything in this thread yet that convinces me that this teacher is a sexual threat to children. all i know for sure is that he's a bit of an idiot--but his worst crime may possibly be trying to seem cool to 12 year olds. as to whether this deserves television coverage and likely stigmatization i'm not so sure.
