That’s right. It’s hard to do, but it’s fun. As long as you post actual words. Don’t try and avoid it by modifying parts of a word. I’m talking about actual dictionary words!!!

OK?!?!

Now start posting! I want original, witty posts!

Just think about it, would you? To put words without that particular symbol only can rough you up a bit!

Youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you would constantly run across folks today who claim that ‘a child don’t know anything’.

Gadsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hills’ manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day’s traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a Mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming brass drum and sounds of singing told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway’s night shopping crowds. Gadsby, walking toward that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long soulful oration, saying '…and I can say this to you, for I know what I am talking about; for I was brought up in a pool of liquor!"

This is just stupid. What kind of fucking shmuck would start a topic such as this? Just know that not all of laugh at your childish ways.

In fact, all of MPSIMS is just plain dull. Why would a man or woman visit a location such as this? You, taking all this in right now, should not put so much of your day into a thing that is so stupid. Go, Now! Hang out with your family. Go outdoors! Talk a walk, ANYTHING.

But nooo, you will sit on your ass and bang on small buttons in front of you. Dismal bastards, all of you.
