Dorkus Patronus and the Disorder of the Police
And on that note, I am attaching the article below for fun. It came out the day after Harry Potter did. The same day I did as a Harry Potter fan, thanks to Ed Wyatt. That's right: for those of you who didn't know it, I was in the closet before then.
Dorkus Patronus
So, you're wondering what this new fame has done for me?
Well, how many of us have had the chance to say, coyly, fingers lingering on a cocktail glass, “Oh, perhaps you read about me in the New York Times?”
Okay, that's not exactly what happened. However, I did attend a networking party where the above did happen, only I was so exhausted that I was avoiding alcohol at all costs, so the glass nonchalantly tilted contained only cold water and ice. Not quite so chic an image, but I'm not so chic a girl.
:)
Oh, and to keep the tone of this blog update chirpy...perhaps I won't mention my ...less than thrilled impression of our NYPD in recent weeks. *eyeroll*

I'm just glad no-one's ripped apart "chic" yet. I thought I might be spelling it wrong.
And I think it's Severus Pete Snape.
Siriusly.

Not all of us can parley vu France-say.
I'm too much of a chic lady to say more. :)

Nice oblique reference to my police plight!
I've learned that "for Pete's sake" is a "minced oath," meaning you substitute something innocuous (sometimes at the very last minute) for the second half of a phrase that would otherwise be blasphemy or profanity or obscenity.
Some people think Pete is short for Saint Peter, but that seems unproven. Both Pete and Mike, and, come to think of it, "Crying out loud" and Mackerel replace the name of God (or other members of His family):
For Pete's Sake
For Crying Out Loud
For the love of Mike (or Pete)
Holy Mackerel
I think I'm going to start saying "for the love of Mike or Pete." It's very catchy.

*guffaw*
I never even heard "for the love of Mike" before!! :)
But, like you, from now on, I shall say: "For the love of Mike or Pete!"
It does roll off the tongue so squeakily!

Yes, squeakiness is what I always look for in phrases.
