		<description>&quot;bottle&quot; there is the direct object of the transitive verb &quot;used&quot;.

There is no &quot;is&quot; implied there, Mr. President,  much less an explicit one.

It&#039;s a somewhat stylized phrasing, but not some grammatical Gordian Not. 

She&#039;s freaked about the bottles, natch, but not as unhinged as it might appear in the Language Arts department.</description>

		<description>Hey, GG, good eye catching that surreptitious gesture of hers...

I&#039;d offer to frisk her, but...
Well, if you&#039;re really busy and already have your hands full...
I suppose I could...
But just checking for a flask...
Not pills that could be stashed, oh...almost anywhere...</description>

		<description>GG, how&#039;s this work for you? 

Cleanliness is a process which delivers a measurable reduction in the direction away from a maximally entropic state. (messiness &gt;= the D&#039;v&#039;l).

I think of Geekiness as the use of a constellation of assets (s/w) and tools (h/w) applied to some process. The process(es) could be ethically positive, neutral, or negative. (e.g., A. Schweitzer, typical PANista , H. Himmler). 

As you acquire and apply assets + tools, as the  difference between two measurements becomes vanishingly small, you approach local divinity, 
i.e. you&#039;ve done everything you could (with everything you could find and understand) to make your little corner of the universe neg-entropic...
that&#039;s the limit of what can rationally be expected of any of us.
The more of this we do, the more of it we will be able to do, which is why Geeks Rule.</description>

		<description>File under hideous grammar 

&quot;The small bottle I used to dissolve my medical pills after lunch&quot;...
is...what, disgusting? White?

The car I drive to work
The pencil I write
The chair I sit

Who actually calls their medicine &quot;medical pills&quot; anyway? People that usually swallow non-medical pills?</description>

		<description>I guess I couldn&#039;t be bothered to go back and research it! I knew I wasn&#039;t quite right. Sorry, gov.  Really, never let the facts get in the way of an attempt at a good post. Just a bit of gentle nudging here, not trying to flame you.</description>
