My first question here is what is up with umlauts on the second vowel of a repeated vowel in a word?  I never see that anywhere other than the New Yorker, but they do it consistently.  Is reelected really supposed to be reëlected?

If so, how does Ray know this while I do not?

The diaresis lets you know that the two vowels have disparate syllables.  It's not an umlaut.

For instance, the diaresis lets you know that preëminent:

pre-EM-in-ent

and not

PREEM-in-ent.

I am never recommending a toaster oven to anyone ever again.  God I feel so dirty.

I almost started a new topic just to post this.
This has made my week already.
So entertained.

Blogs: A-

While Chris shows a thorough understanding of the blog form, his failure to notify readers that he'd already vetoed the most viable of his toaster oven options shows the subtle flaws in his methodology.  He makes up for this later with a perfect showing re: Beef's new knife.  Also, his explanation for Philippe's late night with his shoes is an excellent thing to behold.

Teodor needs to quit being down on himself just because some flaky Bud-drinking porn star gave him the slip - he's still got an awesome caftan out of the deal.
