That’s right my friends!
It’s time for another fun-filled skeptical/atheist event!
This year’s Skepticon has lot’s of great speakers and more than a handful of Skepchicks will be in attendance.
Myself, Carrie, Rebecca and Bug will be there and I even heard rumors that the fearless man-warrior Sam himself might show up! Wow.
So if you are anywhere near Missouri this weekend I expect to see you there. If not, you will be sad.
If you seriously can’t make it and you can manage to see your computer screen through your tears, you can always follow the twitter hashtag #sk3 We will be sure to tweet as much heathen debauchery as we can!
no drivers license no job,no money,and i live in Oklahoma.i wont be going to any events of any kind any time soon,let alone skeptic/atheist ones.doh well,not much for people in offline situations anyways.
Have fun.
I thought it was full. Are there any spots available? Not that I can make it, but I’m sure others want to.
Why would I want to go to Missouri??? I’d have to fly there, and being Canadian, I cherish my privacy, which is actually protected by law. Also, MISSOURI?????
*sob!*
I heard they opened up bunch more spots with a greatly increased venue size.
Sadly, it looks like I cannot get the time away from work to make this one, so we won’t be there this year.
Happy, happy, happy! I’m looking forward to “Patriarchs and Penises”…if I can get up at 9am on Sunday. We’re in the first quarter of our 10 hour commute as I type this :)
No, no… myself is a reflexive pronoun and cannot be used as the subject of a sentence. I realize that we now have a phobia about the use of the word ‘I’ (overly egocentric or something), but it is the correct word with which to start your sentence.
OTOH, I can hit myself or feed myself or do it myself. I can even talk to myself or go someplace by myself. But, myself can’t go anyplace on its own.
Alas, I am that sad little rock.
@jjg.denis.robert: Funnily enough, Missouri IS called the “Show Me State”.
@egstra: I appreciate the critique on my sentence structure. I often write like I talk, which is far from proper. My bad.
If by any chance my inappropriate use of the English language confused anyone as to which Skepchicks will be in attendance, NOW you HAVE to SHOW UP to find out! Mwa ha ha ha!
@egstra: Am I a dick for finding this construction, which has become extremely common, so … disturbing? Or only if I complain about it?
Inescapable urge for pedantic twittery be damned, full speed ahead:
The correct construction for a compound subject including yourself is to use the proper pronoun “I” at the end of the list. For example, “Carrie, Rebecca, Bug and I will be there…”
Okay, this doesn’t mean I think you (Amy) are stupid or non-skeptical or incapable or uncreative as an artist or in anyway deficient as a human being. It just means that I have a mother who was an English teacher.
P.S. Have fun at skepticon!
Buzz you’re only a dick for complaining about. ;)
Love you guys! I’m about to take off in a plane. Wooooohooooo
