Just a ~~downdate~~ update that I've updated my blog so. It's done.
Nothing much to blog about, so I'll do it the lazy way and share something.

Colloquial Contest Winner

GDT (don't ask me, I don't know what on earth or mars is that) is pleased to announce that the winner of the Colloquial Contest is Joshua French. (Cool name, no? how frenchistic) He answered all twenty-seven colloquialisms correctly and will be pocketing fifty dollars (misers!) of contest prize money as soon as we can get RIT(my guess is it stands for ritardando) to cough it up.
Just to enlighten our readerage, we are now posting the answers to the colloquialisms. As a side note, the second runner-up missed the first place spot by one incorrect word, so the race to the finish was terribly tight, but we thank everyone who participated in the contest.
