Yes, I do need sleep, why do you ask?

A few of the more fantastic phrases from the document I'm currently proofing, this wonderful fire-and-brimstone panegyric with a two-paragraph-long title, claiming to speak in the voice of God:

Star of Condemnation
waxed fat and exalted
filthiness of the flesh
fleshly exaltation abounds
seven mountains of perfect abomination
your whoredoms shall appear
womb of darkness
your bed forever in hell and death
Defiled, defiled and loathsom are you in the pure eye of light
overflowing whirlwind of wrath
fire of eternal fury
carnal apprehensions of the natural man
fat Pastures of eternal pleasures
Eat not of the Vine of Sodom, nor drink not of the Cup of whoredoms

Also, my proofreading Word of the Day is...
Scituate, for which the OED provides no definition. I suspect it's just a funky alternate spelling of situate, but please do come up with some inventive new definitions for me and leave them in comments.

Yes, I know I'm a nerd. But every once in a while. I'm a nerd who actually has fun at my job, and that ain't gonna happen if I don't invent ways to make it interesting. So there.

If THOSE are the sentiments you're pulling out of your work you're ready for a night at City Club.
