I think blinkingblinking might have a touch of heatstroke. Either that or he/she is just being pernickity for shits and giggles.
bb is on a mission folks. :rolleyes:

You sir are a genius!
Mouse_Maven, this sounds like it might be a violation of postal regulations. Why not let both “sides” know that you are about to turn it over to the feds to figure out. (And, of course, send a copy of this news to the person or department directly responsible for these two bureaucratic, Klein-bottle-for-brains assholes.)

That should be different from, not different to.
Make that four to one.

Put me down for a vote for funny. This is just a poll, right? I’m not looking to add to a pile-on. And I sure am NOT looking for grammar tips. Especially since I like to start my sentences with ‘And’ and ‘Especially.’ And I never know if the period should go before or after the quotations.
Since we are still off the the OP, I will say there is nothing wrong with starting a sentence with ‘and’.
Oh, after the quotations. It would look really silly if you posted
.“I came, I saw, I conquered”
.“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”
.“No good deed goes unpunished”
On the other hand, the period should probably go before the closing quotation mark in the U.S. and after the closing quotation mark in Britain.
(And Poly’s joke was quite humorous.)
I think BB was once jilted by Rex Mossop*.
*For non-Aussies, Rex Mossop is one of those former sportsmen turned commentator who makes a career of broadcasting embarrassingly stupid, tautological stuff like “Well, me myself personally…”. As a renowned homophobe, his most famous quip was regarding a footballer who had suffered a groin injury, and the injury was all over the media for a period. Our Rex was well over this, and declared, “I’m sick and tired of having his genitalia thrust down my throat!”
You have no sense of humour.
Very cool! Then I don’t have to change my writing style.
And if you’re writing from anywhere else in the world, anything goes?
What if you’re writing on a message board where people from all over the world might be reading it? Which convention applies?
Sorry for the hijack, Mouse_Maven, but since a moderator was correcting my grammar, I thought I’d better go with it.
Never heard of him until I looked him up just now. Seems like an odd fellow. I do not understand when you say “…was once jilted by Rex Mossop.” You are implying he was the lover of BB? Strange thing to say.
About the poll, millions could say something was funny, but I would not think it so because of that. I believe millions of people thought ‘Roseanne’, ‘Kath and Kim’, ‘Black Books’ were funny. I prefer ‘Seinfeld’, ‘Fawlty Towers’ and ‘Reginald Perrin’. I could not find a funny Australian sitcom.
Borat, is that you? The Englishing of your postings seems to say so. I a Borat fan very much am.
I’m getting a funny feeling about being wanked here.
Not that I object to a good wank, mind you. It’s all dependent upon the time and the place of course. 
But for some reason, my kindred-poster (geographically only) is starting to send some bells and whistles a’clanging.

You have left off the “/quote” tag in your post. Be more careful in the future or we’ll write more snide comments.
[QUOTE=TokyoPlayer]
Sorry about that. An oversight. Feel free to write snide comments. Will they be funny? Because noone else here is funny.
Y’know, blinkingblinking, I just think you’re fucking rude.
For whatever reason, you’ve hijacked a perfectly reasonable thread into one that focusses on you and whatever neurosis you’ve hitched a ride on tonight.
You’ve had ample opportunity to sway in and offer some platitudes but you’ve chosen to be a cunt all the way down.
What’s yer’ problem?
Too fucking hot to be wanked today. I couldn’t get it up in this heat even if you were Frosty the Fucking Snowman.
And the goddamn power is out over the half the fucking state due to the massive bushfires.
And the good lady wife didn’t turn the airconditioning on so it was like an oven when I got home.
So ‘me’ went in the pool instead.
“Did I butcher enough shit?”
Sorry about the mailbox there Mouse_Maven, maybe you could head down to the local hardware store, buy one, shove it in the fucking faces and scream at them where they can deliver the fucking mail from now on.
It’s too fucking hot!
PS. I thought it was funny too.
Yeah, I heard about the power outages on my electric TELLY as I sat there with my electric FAN wafting around my sweaty nether regions. Bit of a bugger innit!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist: my area is always the first to get shut down when something like this happens, but this time we’re exempt it seems).
After waddling through the hijack, I’d like to say that I though polycarp’s proposal was brilliant and the notion of combining it with federal postal regs, even more so.
It’s always interesting when people tell you you don’t exist, I’ve had it happen more than once. Mostly because of confusion with my name. Once I was working for a company in Spain, they transferred me to the US for about a year, the new HR computer system was installed during that year, and when I went back home, they couldn’t transfer my file. Nobody understood why or had the slightest idea what the problem was. I got paid, but every time I called the HelpDesk I’d be told “you’re not an employee!”. I even got reported once as “trying to fake being an employee and asking for confidential info”.
It finally got solved when I sent a letter including both my Spanish SSN and my US SSN. Got a letter back saying “oh my God, in Spain you have a different SSN? I never would have thought that!”
Can we get a “smack someone else” smiley?
