And **Mal** sticks with it to the bitter end. The lying liar lies about lying. Score another one for the hosts. Good job, **bbs2k**.

[QUOTE=bbs2k]  
Also, I wanted to guess on **Blaster Master** , but all my leads had at least one post where he violated my guess and wasn’t “bopped”. Must have an apostrophe per post, always messes up present vs. future/past tense at least once, not allowed to use proper infinitives, always posts subjects in a gluttonous fashion; nothing seems to stick… yet. 🙂  
[/QUOTE]

I do my best to check each post and administer bopping where need be. None of those would require bopping in BlaM’s case, however.

So, **Rysto** , let’s chat a bit.

What kind of pets do you have?

Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher. I would my horse had the speed of your tongue, and so good a continuer. But keep your way, i’ God’s name; I have done.

Heh. I think we all know whose guess it really was.

BTW, **fachverwirrt** , where are you getting your quotes from? You’ve been really good at coming up with totally apropos stuff, and no one has that much Shakespeare by heart.

FWIW, I’m rather fond of usin’ th’ apostrophe. 😃

OTOH, I’m somewhat offended that you’d accept that I’m unable to discriminate past versus future tenses, or employ an infinitive properly. I’m most definitely unsticky. I’m as smooth as an extraordinarilly smooth…ummm… object. 😛

Zoggie is an Advice Columnist: dotchan  
Taber think he’s a specific Greek god or goddess (picked Dionysus): twickster  
fachverwirt must post using quotes from Shakespeare: twickster  
Eureka is easily confused by homonyms: twickster  
OneCentStamp may not use any form of the verb “to be”: bbs2k  
Malacandra is a pathological liar: bbs2k

**Incorrectly Guessed:**

Kat: twickster  
DiggitCamera: twickster  
fluiddruid: twickster  
PriceGuy: twickster

**Unguessed:**

BlasterMaster  
featherlou

I’m unsure. Mayhap my fourth birthday (with lots of cake!). My favorite gift… my bike, with training wheels of course. My oh my, to be four once more.
