[QUOTE=Sailboat]  
I really hate to nitpick, since I’m as annoyed as you are by his punctuation…but what he’s doing wrong is inserting a space BEFORE the punctuation , right ? AFTER punctuation,there SHOULD be a space.I think.

[/QUOTE]  
No, no, you’re absolutely right. I figured there was absolutely no way I could mock someone’s punctuation without fucking something up.

I just don’t understand it (although I’ll go where Occam’s Razor takes me) - if you see someone who uses too many carriage returns, you think “oh, he’s spent too much time on a board where you have to hit enter to wrap text.” If you see somebody who spaces BEFORE punctuation… what the hell is that?

You completely fucked up that joke. It’s supposed to go like this:

Look guys. It’s very simple really. Typing class was third period right after government. My government teacher had white eyebrows and I felt he was not to be trusted and told him so. Anyhow, he took an immediate dislike to me after that comment and as he was also a coach he didn’t like the fact that I was a large stoner much either. Finaly, to the point. I always smoked a large doobie after his class to relieve the stress of having to look at him and his white eyebrows for 55 minutes and didn’t pay much attention during typing class as it was an elective anyway . Now you know.

That was largely coherent… Why can’t you type like that the rest of the time?

I did not say **Omegaman** isn’t a bit strange, but the sentence structure, the lack of references to “as I am a man” or “as a man”, beatings, calling other dopers “kiddies”, Jesus and mostly correct punctuation and capitalization made that a largely coherent post.

It does seem that he has it in him, if he takes his time, puts down the bong, whatever, that he can type, despite the white eyebrowed teacher who wasn’t his typing teacher… ah fuck it, most of his periods were in the right place, good enough for now, I guess.

I have to say, I learn from **Omegaman**. I never knew about the “pockets turned out” prison bitch thing he mentioned in another thread, and now I know people with white eyebrows are not to be trusted.

So it was _relatively_ coherent then. I can see that.

White eyebrows don’t bother me. It’s white irises that ping my spooky.

I don’t like white eyelashes much, either. Buy some mascara, people (guys too).

(“Ping my spooky?” I must remember that turn of phrase.)

I hate white frosted lipstick. It just looks so _wrong_.

**Omegaman** , if you run your posts through a spelling and grammar check in Word before your post, people will have less of an issue.

And acting like this

is really, really, _really_ not going to help your cause. Really.

Just because someone is coherent doesn’t mean they have to make sense.
