Renai Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm reading T. S. Eliot by a fireplace at my editor's country home in South Carolina, and am way too happy right now to pay any attention whatsoever to the message boards. :001_tt2: SWB I would like to know, who REALLY got her to post. Maybe just because it was so long, she had to make sure this was on the up and up. Then saw it was really pointless and decided to sneak out. But, then couldn't, because ignoring it would would be so uncouth.Yeah. That's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You have been tried and found guilty. Your sentence: create the spin-off thread. What, no police badge icon, either? Okay 5000 points to whomever gets them to add icons for police badges and face-palms! I like this one, but he's not carrying a badge, so could be a fake: So, I found this guy, but he's way too friendly for this thread, we need someone tougher, I think: Then, I finally found this guy. I think he'll do: And, for good measure, another face palm: (let me know if you need more. I love face palms.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's thanks to this thread that I just finished re-watching TPB. :) The pedantic spouting of time-worn quotes boreth me, but to lift a quote from its original context and re-imagine it in a new?

Plus 57,853 for illustrating everything everyone ever said plus our usernames (it would've been higher, but my ducks are always quacking and they are never in a row, so it just doesn't ring true, kwim?)

texasmama Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I am so far behind in points but I'll try to catch up, first by quoting myself and mentioning Texas. Then I reluctantly have to admit I am only 21% Texas. I think the only thing that scored me points was being friendly (I'm Canadian. It's practically a law.) I wasn't sure what type of pie and it wouldn't let me select all of them. I was fraught with indecision because pie is so delicious. And cake. I'll also apologize, not just to get points, but because that's also something Canadians do. So I'm sorry. Really, truly sorry y'all. Did I use y'all correctly? Did I even spell it right? I'm trying to add some extra Texas in there. Sorry again. Finally, I would like to redeem myself by joining the Pro Oxford Comma Club. It's about time there is a club for proper punctuation! You are now An Honorary Texan. I will mail out your award, tshirt, certificate, ribbon, and trophy posthaste. (Please note the use of the Oxford comma.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
