Richt's reassuring quotation and Westerdawg's good point

However, Vince Dooley was hanged in effigy.

Portraits are hung; people are hanged.

Also, while we're on the subject, it appears I was using "myriad" correctly, after all. (Hat tip: College Buddy.)

Go 'Dawgs!

Who knows whether Dooley was hung

Someone should ask Barbara.

I wasn't going to go there

I’m glad I could count on you to do it for me. :)

It always troubled me that Professor Higgins said (sang?) “By right she should be taken out and hung / For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.” I reckon Lerner ought to have been free to take liberties to secure the rhyme, but in a song that’s a complaint about why the English can’t teach their children how to speak, the word choice seems especially unfortunate.

Tangential mental wanderings like this help me get through times like these.

I'm with you, NCT

During a recent church service, while the congregation sang “Amazing Grace,” I finally realized what troubles me about that song. It should be:

When we’ve been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no fewer days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun

That’s the same reason I don’t use the express lane at Wal-Mart.

Go 'Dawgs!

if you sing Amazing Grace

to the tune of House of the Rising Sun, you’ll feel better about the whole less/fewer thing :)

Isn't that part of the joke?

It’s not just about the sound/rhyme. Higgins says “hung” as an illustration of the poor English for which “she” deserves to be hanged, right?
We did “My Fair Lady” as our high school musical. Good times. Good times.
Now, let’s get back to football before somebody calls us pansies.

S'ok CB

we just need a little amusing distraction to keep us from pondering to long on the fact that we ~~suck~~ keep sending the volleyball team to play football.

And oh, yeah

Take that, Gillette. I mean, you can just look at the word, recognize it as Greek (the “y” usually is enough), see the ending, and know it’s a noun. Olympiad events?

Yes, yes. Feeling better and better.
