What the frell is wrong with y'all do you have to be a frelling HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE to know how to use proper grammar?? Why don't you just go and change all the street signs to chatspeak while you're at it?? And this person works for the GOVERNMENT?? No wonder the world's becoming more and more depraved. That's like in Idiocracy. :wtf: :explode: For crying out loud those harmless little punctuation marks didn't confuse ME when I was 2 years old, AND I'M DYSLEXIC!! But I DO get confused when they're NOT where they're supposed to be. :evil: :explode: :wtf: :bitch:


TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!

Punctuation sticklers will LOVE this book:

Eats, Shoots, and Leaves

By a British stickler, it's hilarious.

Well I'm not really a "stickler" but I do believe grammar is important, they wouldn't read a book that didn't have punctuation would they, so why make their street signs look like a retarded mess and come up with ridiculous arguments and reasonings that encourage stupidity and illiteracy, seriously do these people even listen to themselves and realize how retarded they sound, I mean like what the frell that's kinda like if they decided to ban chicken because it's dairy and then in order to turn it into "non dairy" they add sugar to it. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!! :explode: :explode: :explode:

I was telling enterprikayak this story and she said to post it. She suspects my uncle is a Vulcan.

My great Uncle Waldo (my grandfather's brother) is 106 years old and still goes to work. He is said to be the oldest working American. He was born in a sod hut. He took up running at age 65 and ran marathons in his eighties. I guess the only time I met him was thiry years ago and he was like 75 and, as it turns out, just beginning his marathon running career. At age 101, he flew to Puerto Rico, I think it was, to compete in the old people's olympics. He is married to his second wife, who is twelve years younger. He lives in Quniter, Kansas, and works as a beekeeper. If you don't believe me, google "Waldo McBurney."

Here he is signing books. His book is titled, "My First 100 Years"

My aunt and uncle and dad visited him last year for his birthday and he offered to drive them around town. ;)

Y'all agree with me right? (to use a u.s.a. word) Vulcan. Clearly. :D

And for some more random time wasting (I challenge ANYone to waste time as effectively as I do):

Introducing....

If you don't see your location on here (or one that you know should be here), PM me and I'll update it! Being in the hospital has given me wwaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much time to waste.

And clearly, we've got a few too many on the eastern seaboard here and not enough elsewhere....let's get recruiting!!! :guffaw:

:lol: You ARE bored.

No Asso in Italy?

Are you RIGHT on the border with the US, because to my eye it looks like we've got NOTHING in Canada, and THAT can't be right.

:) It looks to me like the Northeast of the US is the Heartland of Trip 'n T'Pol-ness. Or maybe a hotbed of Trip 'n T'Pol-ness. :thumbsup:

I love the planetary take over map! Hey don't we have some operatives in Canada? Maybe I am just thinking of the Trip/T'Polers and Soval's Annex people. Yes it would be great to have more from other parts of the planet. 8)
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

Looks like we need to send some missionaries to Africa and Asia.

Yes. *I* am from Canada. (I thought I irritatingly never let anyone forget that what with my unconscionable Canadian smugness?)

Anyway. I put my dot on there. I live about 2mm from Seattle in South West Canada.

There was one other one at HoT, but she seems to be gone now. :(

I'm very happy for your care, but don't worry: It's not easy to get rid of me! :lol:
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Asso, I actually added you as one of the first off the top of my head! I dunno what happened to your dot. It's there now.

Then I went to the member list and slowly looked up each profile for the top 50 posters to get their location.

A bunch o' yous DON'T HAVE A LOCATION, thus forcing me to search your first few posts in the hopes you mentioned your location. I'm crafty like that.

So much time on my hands. :guffaw:
