Lupus: Living The Meme

I'm starting to feel like I'm trapped in a game thread. Why? Check out the main road round the corner from me:

The funny thing is that I don't even watch House. Until a few days ago, all "Lupus" meant to me was "wolf".

Now I feel like I'm logging in to Lookout Landing every time I leave home and set off down Lupus Street on my way to work. I'm continually disappointed by the lack of new comments popping up from the kerb.

Steve Valentine?

The poncy guy from that Boston morgue show?

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

You mean

Crossing Jordan? That’s the show he was in.

Yeah,

he has the distinction of being the only House patient with honest-to-God lupus, so far.

He obviously meant "pavement"

but used “kerb” to pander to the american audience.

Wait, what?

It's our quaint way of spelling it

When you’re talking about the edge of the pavement. Which is our quaint way of spelling “sidewalk”.

How else would you spell kerb?

I’m confused.

I'm guessing that "curb" is the American norm?

Maybe I’m confused.

Someone is definitely confused.

Curb is a verb.

Kerb is a noun.

Damn you, Noah Webster!

Curb is the norm

it’s what’s on the edge of the sidewalk. Pavement is the construction material from which the street is made.

In England, they call the elevator “the loo”. It’s a crazy language. I KID.

Ah

So walking on the pavement is probably a bad idea over there.

Ah, so that explains

Curb.

As in: “I was drunk and swerving and hit the curb.”

I like midgets more than I should.
