What’s the deal with dissing echidnas? I do a daily board search to find and participate in threads about echidnas, and this is highly upsetting.
And don’t even think about dragging meerkats into this either.
Phlip
When a bunch of jerks like you were giving me a hard time so bad that I had to take a break, one person from SDMB bothered to make contact with me and see whether I was okay. Back off. If you want a piece of Esprix, you’ll have to go through me. And before you ask me whether I’m gay, let me answer that in advance: “fuck you”.
Excuse me, but I don’t think the alien brain gave you permission to meddle in this crises.
Your powers of indignation are needed elsewhere.
I say we just keep poking Phlip until he blows up. I think it’s the most educational and entertaining thing he can possibly do for these boards.
Chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug… woo woooooooooo!
Well, in view of the fact that Nathan Lane voiced Timon…

Great… you chugged the last bit of cock in the SDMB fridge.
Now I have to go out and get more.
I hope you’re HAPPY!
Scylla, I buzzed the Most High Holy Qjckwrrzzz. He said, “Sljeks mjobya mschmit Esprix.” So, I did.
My cock was in the freezer, dear. Wrap your luscious lips around it and defrost it with your hot man-tongue. Think of it as a popsicle, as sweet liquid pours out of the side of your mouth.
This thread is cracking me up.
- s.e.
No, no…he’s gay.
And if you find a store that has it, let me know. It has to be special-ordered around here…

ROFL!

How can we be out of cockolate flavored ovaltine? Damn kids, stay outta my cupboard!
This would be great if Mel Gibson suddenly burst into the chorus of “I’m Coming Out”.
Hey, now - watch it with the mjobyaing and the mschmitzing there…
Esprix
However, I believe the apostrophe does belong in that sentence (doesn’t it?)
“It’s” is the possessive of “it”. (It’s also a contraction of “it is”, but that’s not relevant here)
For example
…learn of Phlip’s many flaws.
…examine Phlip’s mindless spewings.
…dissect Phlip’s bigoted drivel.
would all be correct.
If we replace “Phlip” with “It” (I don’t know Phlip’s gender and it would be wrong to assume!), shouldn’t the possessive remain the same?
…learn of it’s many flaws
and so forth?

punha, honey, see, you need to quote more. I have no clue what you’re laughing at.
You don’t quote enough, dammit!
jayjay
You must be joking or something. “Its” (no apostrophe) is the possessive of “it.”
God, what has this thread turned into? 
- s.e.
Sorr, Fenris me droogie, but that is incorrect.
Its (no apostrophe) is a possessive adjective, like his, her, our, and so on.
" The thing called *Phlip is its own worst enemy."
It’s (with apostrophe) is a contraction of “It is”
“It’s a pity that Phlip is unable to comprehend a simple declarative sentence.”
Well, duh. You put it in the fridge. There’s a lot less when it gets cold.
And I thought you were already out?
{scott evil sits back as Hastur defrosts his tube steak. Mmmm.}
Gobear, ScottEvil You know I love you like my Gay Brothers who are my best friends and I’d gladly participate in your gay weddings, but if you’re right, then “Up” is “Down”, “Black” is “White” and “Phlip” is “rational” 'cause I’ve always thought that “it’s” was the possessive form of “it”. ,
As in:
Phlip’s trolley has leapt it’s track.
…
Ok. I just did a quick websearch. The first site I found here agrees with you. So A) I conceed! You’re right, I’m wrong! Thanks for the info! You have successfully defeated a little bit of ignorance today! (plus, in Phlip’s case, fought a total frigging moron!) and B) Phlip really is a moron, isn’t he?

As an interesting aside, The Word Detective notes that the use of “it’s” as a possessive was a common useage through the 19th century, when “'tis” was the contraction of “it is”. Wouldja believe that I’m 160 years old and just following the habits of my youth?
