I got the idea for this strip when I discovered that the plastic cover for
the USB connector (metal thing at the end of the USB cable) of my rumble pad
was more or less the size of a 1x2 LEGO brick. It fits perfectly on two
"pegs" or whatever those things are called. Weird.

This is the first strip in which I've tried to make sarcasm come across by
using emphasis on certain words. It's almost like acting or something.

Hehehe! Your comprehension of idiomatic English is totally
amazing. You write English better than most native English
speakers. :)
I've been 'lurking' the newsgroup lately, but not posting
much.

I'm in Scotland, and I always called them either a bedside cabinet (if it has a door) or a bedside table (regardless whether it has any drawers or not). It has to be roughly equivelant to the height of the bed to qualify as being a "bedside" anything. >-- >Annie Ascii -- budding 14-year-old ASCII artist > .,,,. > #### #### (~~~))) Not in America.

It's just a matter of being observant and constantly exposed to English in one form or another; movies, TV shows, books, the internet. It adds up. > >Isn't a nightstand just a bedside table? > > .,,,. > #### #### (~~~))) Not in America.
