I Appreciate Your Honesty

Budd said...: hmm... generally the rule is that the contracted version of a word gets the apostrophe when the word can be both a contraction and the posossive. For instance Its vs It's. The appostrophe goes to the contracted word. But "tonight is" isn't usually contracted except in the South. I am from the south, so to me, it looks like the sign is saying tonight is special or tonight's special, y'all!; April 16, 2012 at 12:08 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Can you argue that TONIGHT is a specific place and thus is a noun and you can use the apostrophe. At least that is what I will tell the busty bar wench who wants to be appreciated for her mind.; April 16, 2012 at 1:02 PM
M. D. Jackson said...: The apostrophe s is, in this case, the possessive. It signifies that the Special belongs to Tonight.

As opposed to that song by The Artist Formerly Known As, which declares: "Tonight, I'm gonna party like it's 1999"; April 16, 2012 at 3:01 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
