lines
some people say "over the line". some people say "out of line". this could just be a semantic curiosity. or it could be a deeper philosophical/ethos/morality thing. i was raised with limits. i could do anything i wanted as long as i stayed within those limits. ie don't go over the line. ie the line is the limit. which is a bit different than being out of line. makes me think conga dance. the line can go anywhere it wants. even over the line. uh, the limit line. as long as everyone stays in the line. uh, the conga line. hmm. sorry. doesn't work for me. if my line of lemmings goes over the line and starts chucking rocks at cows, i am morally compelled to step out of that line. if i'm feeling particularly punchy at the moment i might even chuck rocks at the lemmings.
