SJ.com Style Guide!!! (running thread)

Liza Minnelli--When you're sitting in an airport, and Liza Minnelli rolls by in the honking trolley, surrounded by a man in a pink feather boa and several other attendants to carry her Cheetos and handi-wipes, what else can you do but report it to SJ? Wish we still had that one.

 

Uh-oh, the style guide is petering out if we're referencing our own stuff.

(Will post my stuff later)

 

Just thought of one, but it's possible that it's already been used.

Just spit coke everywhere: A response used when somebody posts something outrageously funny. The phrase means that it was so funny, that the reader actually spit coke everywhere. See also, Coke Everywhere, Coke All Over Keyboard, etc...

 

Sports Illustrated is jealous of us — Not heavily used unless S.I. is brought up here. I think I said that after we were mentioned by S.I. in a story a few months back.

But it's true.

 

Shameless bump: The same as a bump, but always used after a bump hasn't done the trick.

 

What's Post-Padding? Mandatory response by a post-padder when he/she is questioned about why they are post-padding. It is another way to post-pad.

 

Post Pad?
The inevitable response to the mandatory response by a post-padder when he/she is questioned about why they are post-padding. It is another way to post-pad.

 

Never actually happened
What should be a mandatory response when someone claims they spit Coke everywhere, since no one can actually recall the last time they or anyone they know ever did it.

 

21,

Would you please be so kind as to remind those in Toronto about the power of peanut butter per Chinatown? Thank you.

 

I've done it once.

 

The 10 commandments of origami:
1. CHOOSE GOOD PAPER AND CUT IT TO THE RIGHT SIZE AND FORM

2. FOLD THE PAPER NEATLY AND CAREFULLY ESPECIALLY AT THE POINTS OF CORNERS.

3. WORK ON A HARD FLAT SURFACE SO THAT ALL THE FOLDS ARE AS EVEN AS YOU CAN GET THEM.

4.TO MAKE IT EXACT BY MOVING YOUR THUMBNAIL ALONG THE EDGE OF THE PAPER. THEN ALL THE FOLDS WILL BE EASIER.

5. THE MORE EXACT YOUR FOLD, THE NICER THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

6.FOLLOW EACH STEP CAREFULLY IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

7.NEVER SKIP A STEP! WHEN YOU ARE FOLDING IT'S HELPFUL TO REMEMBER THE LAST STEP YOU FINISHED AND THINK ABOUT THE NEXT STEP.

8.PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS ESPECIALLY WHICH DIRECTION TO FOLD, HOW IT SHOULD BE FOLDED TOGETHER, AND IF IT SHOULD BE UNFOLDED OR NOT.

9.IF YOU ARE NEW AT ORIGAMI THEN YOU SHOULD PRACTICE THE BASIC FIRST STEPS. MOST ORIGAMI FIGURES START WITH A BASIC STEP.

10.TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR ORIGAMI, FOLLOW THE STEPS CAREFULLY AND FOLD YOUR CREASES CAREFULLY AND CLEANLY.
