I'm very into spacial relations and puzzles and putting everything into it's right place. But when I add a dish or two to the dishwasher after my wife has finished loading it she's not impressed with my problem solving abilities. She sees it as a direct attack on her dishwasher loading abilities. My wife and I have had many arguements exactly like the dishwasher story.

The conditional perfect progressive should be, "Jean-Claude Van Damme <em>would have been smitten</em> by Jesus's dad." Which is how the comment started out in the 'cast. Oops!

It's the conditional perfect progressive tense. (And yes, I had to look that up. I'm not that much of a grammar geek!) Second, there's a fourth possible state for the dishwasher--some of the dishes could have been clean and some dirty. And yes, EWWW! But it was a party; a partial load could have been cleaned but not unloaded and someone then added a dirty item. This is clearly a guy-only* state; a non-guy would say that the dirty item contaminated the rest of the load, so it was all dirty. * "Guy", in this case, is not to be used as a gender distinction. Not all men are "guys" and a woman can be a "guy". Think more Oscar Madison vs. Felix Unger. A guy is the type of person who can pull some cold cuts from the fridge and seriously ask, "Is this meat too green?" I will say, however, I have yet to hear a woman ask that question. ;-) First off, the conjugation of “to smite” everyone was casting about for: “If Jean-Claude Van Damme beat up Jesus, Jesus’s dad would have smitten JCVD.” It’s the conditional perfect progressive tense.

B) Is there a link to the picture of the puppy w/gin? C) As entertaining as the others were... Jason was missed (his tweets were the best part of the show somehow).
