I want to know how much of that speech was algorithmic, the intonation was really very good all things considered; I'd be disappointed if it was just fed to the machine.

This sounds interesting, but I am a truly terrible, terrible writer, I'm probably better at world-building.
When you say a fantasy-modern-America, are you thinking a setting which has direct analogues of everything, of a setting which is more loosely related (e.g. technology level, political structures what have you without being overtly Texas-analogue and New-York-Analogue)?

How much do you need translating? If it's just a couple of sentences then a few hours with a latin dictionary and a decent descriptive grammar should give you something serviceable.

Again, not a native French speaker but that looks about right to me. Wiktionnaire also offers 'le gobelin' as a synonym to 'le lutin' but the latter probably sounds better, depends on what you want it for. You could also use the adjective "le lutin merdeaux", although I'm not 100% sure if that would be read as a goblin made of shit or a goblin covered in shit, it might be viable either way.

I have a Victoria's Secret gift card. Is it more awkward to go in there with my mom, or my boyfriend? Sexy lingerie is meant to be shared with your SO, not your mother. Take the boyfriend in and have him give you input, as I would think his opinion on the matter is relevant. I thought you buy the lingerie so he'll give you input later, not vice versa?

I agree, there is a notable lack of terribleness in those ideas. Me being me, the lines about the Shango language in "Vexing" were just taunting, although the Qareen language is if anything more intriguing. I sort of like the little arc going on with the Qareen and the Bhoot, for what it's worth.

The Sandafluffoid lecture had to be cut from the program due to time constraints and other undisclosed reasons most certainly not relating to personal grudges What? Are you at least going to include my lecture on "Sigmaleph: Great enemy of the Glorious People or simply envious of the Thousand-Year-Prosperity brought by the Glorious People's Beloved Icon?"?

My flatmate's girlfriend thinks that "Dubstep aren't a very good band". This provides hours of entertainment.
I quite like dubstep in the right situations, it's not the kind of thing I have on whilst I'm baking, but I've been to a couple of dubstep nights at the local clubs, and they're normally pretty good.

I hope it has a section about your hitmen. Yes, although in my draft the lecturer should refer to them as "Proud Men-at-Arms of the Glorious People's Beloved Icon".

Personally, I can't wait for the lesson on me. You did get that lecture I wrote about my contribution, right Sigma?

That irony may very well be the primary motivating factor behind TK's continuing existence.

Neil Gaiman has written an episode for the new series of Doctor Who, this may be the greatest news anyone has ever heard ever.
