At least his was funny.
In the SCA, Trolls are always needed.
When?
When dirt was soft and rocks roamed the earth.
For those of a nonSCA persuasion: Troll = entry gate worker. I imagine that working the gate at Pennsic would get complex.
Yup
hm, a late 50s slightly overweight farrier. Not particularly hot but I am not into women as a rule =)
Camping with 15000 of your closest friends =)
Yes, poor currently dead truck. Um, probably missing a word, I was a bit peeved and venting.
Glad to be of service =)
And the funny thing is that the Curry Rd bridge is currently out, and being replaced. Poor Troll, no goat!
Oh, such a tempting Sig Line !!!
Hey, I thought madmonk28’s was funny. I’m not surprised it didn’t go over well on this board, though.
The Unwritten Rule of the Road…
Gas, grass, or wrought brass?
Agreed. I laughed.
Its nice that are doing this for your roommate because there is no way in hell I would drive eight doors to do a favor for anyone, especially if money is tight and my spouse needed to stay overnight in a motel to make it happen.
Maybe one of the anachronisms they’re celebrating is late-50-year-olds with few life skills.
Not transportation related, but any chance that she could whip up and flog a few portable holes? Folks always seem to need a few more of those.
I’m with digs on this one - a rule of writing is to define an unusual term or acronym the first time you use it so your audience doesn’t have to go look it up.
Nah, that was just me calling out another poster for also being an asshole. “How dare you not define words in your OP! I’m going to type out an angry message about it rather than googling the word!”
Only reactionary assholery on my part, none of that first strike shit.
Whereas a rule of reading is to look up unfamiliar terms rather than chastising the writer for using them.
Sorry, rules is rules.
Okay, I take your point, but I think it is about 80% the writer’s responsibility and 20% the reader’s. How about that?
Fair enough. Appropriate snark then is to say, “Didja really have to make me go look up Pennsic?” That way you get to be a jerk to the writer while showing that you’re not a slacker. Very important to back up self-righteousness with cold hard facts :).
Isn’t it a rule of writing that the writer is to do all that is possible to communicate clearly with the intended audience?
