Copy Editors

"Leaving we all to our own devices" or should it be "Leaving US all to our own devices"?

US is the object of a verb participle, IMHO

Hope you have a very happy day. Everyday we try to make you laugh.

Tina's Joke

Of course it was action FIGURES!!! The first one doesn't even make any sense... C'mon people, would someone of Tina's comedic genius use that "lame attempt at a joke".... I don't think sooo

Tina Fey

Say what you want about Sarah Palin - I bet she has never called her 11-year-old daughter a rude, thoughtless little pig.

The company you keep, Tina.

Tina Fey

My God is anyone as sick of hearing about Tina as I am? Shut up Tina!!

tina fey

er i definitely heard her say action figureS too.

Epi-funn-ee

Hey there Aaron, that's very witty. "Leafing myself to mine own's self's selfish divises", would be a further extrapolation of John Farrell's joke.

Say, isn't that a Bushism? JofCa, get a grip and relax a bit.

Semper Fi,

I also heard her say 'action figures'. Seems silly that there is even a question about this.
