But they're discrete!

red_girl_42 December 6 2006, 20:46:34 UTC

Well that would explain why they can play together or separately, right?

tober December 6 2006, 05:22:53 UTC

Ooh, and they're discrete. It's good to know they're not one of those conjoined couples.

mactavish December 6 2006, 05:36:46 UTC

I've met those, too.

OR worse yet, they're just mist, moving in and out of the house at will without even opening the door.

Because that's really creepy.

I wish I could get down to 165 lbs. . . Granted, that was my weight in 8th grade and I wasn't "fat," so I don't think I have the bone structure for it. . . Other than that, I don't know how I am an 84% friend match with that dude. . . lol

And, if you're going to stress that you're an English teacher in a snark, it might be a nice touch to actually capitalize the first word in a sentence and avoid snarks to your snark, like this one. . . ;-)

there's a difference between the relaxation of formal rules for an informal medium and raping the language.

dda December 6 2006, 14:01:23 UTC

Perhaps so but as is the case in grammar_whores, if you point the finger, be prepared to have it pointed back at you.

kaligrrrl December 6 2006, 16:55:27 UTC

I am. and I really don't think not capitalizing the first word of my sentences is anything approaching the level of stupidity shown by this person.

and the point still stands-certain rules get relaxed in certain environments. the grammar standards of formal writing are not generally followed in casual internet posting. for example, sentence fragments are all over the place.

terrible spelling is still terrible spelling.

But, don't you know, every queer woman is just looking for the right man and his is apparently the lucky cock? < /sarcasm>

I love how the profile switches between first person plural and first person singular.

elynne December 6 2006, 05:45:29 UTC

Yeah, that was... interrrresting. As in, poke from a distance kind of interesting.

juergen December 6 2006, 17:47:35 UTC

...with a stick that you don't mind discarding afterwards, no less.

elynne December 6 2006, 17:49:43 UTC

Yyyyyep.
