In which there is an overabundence of commas and a dearth of semi-colons

Apr 28, 2007 01:29

One of the many diverse inhabitants of the interdimensional rift also referred to as my school is a small twelve year-old boy named Beans. Nobody is actually sure whether Beans is his first name or his surname or his nickname or even his codename; it is quite possible that, like Tintin, V, Pythagoras and God, Beans is so phenomenal that he only ( Read more... )

Nancy Drew/ Encyclopedia Brown flashbacks aside, I don't see the abuse of commas I was expecting from your title! Misclaimer! ;_;

Or in short: ;,,,,,,,,,,(

XD

And on that note, there was an abundance of things I wanted to say about the latest 3 entries, but since I go off-tangent as I always do, I forgot. *donk*

Except to say that your school sounds interesting, and Beans sounds awesome. But what about Alexei?

Oh, and on that note, a guy once named his extremely sleek, purebred horse Feijaos. Everybody thought it was something cool 'cos that steed sure can fly. In actuality, that's portugese for beans. And we all know what too many beans can do ;p

And your typos have infected my typos, 'cos I'm misspelling other languages! Feijoas. Clearly, the cure is in baby pix *eyes him*

I said an overabundence,not an abuse. :P It's not really the numbers -- it's more the fact that I'm sure that the ratio is wrong...

One day I should do an analysis of my essaysand find out what the ratio actually is... :P

Alexei, alas, has already left. He's currently studying theology at Oxford. :D

My sister and my mother watched a documentary onthursday in which two children bathed in baked beans. Seriously.

(And, er, overabunance? Unless it's the American way... :P)

And corned beef is awesome. There's a wonderful little greasy-spoon type café on route between King's Cross thameslink and St Pancreas that does the most fantastic corn beef sandwiches I have ever eaten; I used to stop there and grab breakfast on the way to my work experience job...

Yes, but OA has a high possibility of abuse! And some people make an art of abusing punctuation, or- Like a certain dopey chick who Capitalised Every Word She Wrote And The Urple Was Spectacular. I was hoping, and it has not been fulfilled ;_; Try the apostrophes instead :p I make an art of capslock, on top of other things XD OK, I await stats. Stats make everything better, unless you're the one being tested in them, hee! And as to the ratio you mentioned, there doesn't seem to be any ratios present in the first place ( ... )

:D We obviously all grew up with too much Sherlock Holmes...

Not that there can be such a thing, of course. But you know what I mean. :D

And yeah, I guess it was. Mysteries are fun. :D

I read a couple of the short stories in English in Year 9 and loved them; I keep meaning to read some more of Conan Doyle's stuff, but haven't quite got round to it...
