Category: Wasting your time
Posted on: January 21, 2008 8:17 PM, by Chris H

Those of you on my snail mail list receive holiday cards from me every December, but this year was so hectic that I never got to one. So, today (really tomorrow), I'm mailing my MLK Day cards, which will include A is for Abandonable, Chris' Abecedarium of Dysphemisms (PDF). Use these words liberally to spice us your scienceblog!
