xkcd
has a blag to accompany the
comic!Winner
of my personal "Phrase of the Month" award: Stephen Fry (yes, THAT one) for "apologies for
the concomitant croaky dopiness" which managed to be alliterative,
internally-rhyming, and sesquipedalian all in one go. The statement was made in
reference to cranking out a podcast "delivered through a heavy cold and a fog of
sleeping pills and analgesic opiates..." which would have won the award itself
if not for its follow-on phrase. Said podcast "Bored of the Dance" is available here in both
.mp3 and .m4a formats.
