Perhaps everyone will jump on my when I say this - But I assumed that jr8 lived in America because of the car explosion story. My subconcious brain telling my conscious brain (which wasn’t paying attention) “that type of thing happens in some parts of America” and my conscious brain saying back (automaticaly- like when a person not paying attention says ‘yes dear’) “jr8 must be in America then”.
But now that my conscious brain is paying attention - It makes sense. That type of thing probably happens all the time in the likes of London, Manchester, Liverpool (now I am offending the brits as well! talk about alienation).
I thought *jr8 might live in Philly. They don’t like cars there.
Flammie Baby, now that I think about it, if I did start using that character, relatively few people on the boards would actually see it (they would have to have it, too)… And if I wanted to make a web page or send an e-mail (as an attatched document), I could just convert it to curves and it wouldn’t matter. But, thanks for your little trip down weird lane, GlowingDragonFlame.
A man walks into a bar with a giraffe and they proceed to get blitzed. The giraffe drinks so much it passes out on the floor. The man gets up and heads for the door to leave when the bartender yells, “Hey! You can’t leave that lyin’ there!”
The drunk replies, “That’s not a lion! It’s a giraffe.”
It’s Friday afternoon, I am trying hard to achieve as little as is humanly possible before I can sneak out early, and Lobsang had to post that. Damn, Lobsang, you nearly blew my spot, here! How am I going to explain my need for a new monitor to my boss?
By the way… all the people who are using wont"" to mean “want” are using it wrongly. According to my dictionary (and my own knowledge of the word):
I’m sure Dictionary.com would say the same. And no… it is NOT a substitute for the contraction “won’t” (meaning “will not”)… they’re pronounced differently, besides. Notice the apostrophe.
No… I’m not the Grammar / Word Usage Police… just trying to help eradicate a bit of wrong word usage. I’m not perfect, either… but I had to point this out.
