Mighty close, mighty close. (Perhaps just a big, fat, over-contended pipe).

Why do you want me to beat your halibut? And would someone pay to see that on a webcam?

Aw - c’mon - I don’t expect you to admit it in public, but we’ve all been (at least) *drawn *to halibut beating. I know I have.

[NineToTheSky]

And would someone pay to see that on a webcam?

Ooops - I forgot to say that there are special cinemas that show it. (But you to know where to find them).

So many wonderful words, so little time…

You know, it might be worth putting all these words into one sentence. Worthwhile, but difficult.

Graffito.

I wanted to make sure it was a word before publishing the following on my blog.

“I never do anything but I do it better than anyone else.”

Where are Lynn Truss and her punctuation police when you need them? Without a comma following “anything”, we must infer that the writer only participates in activities where he has no equal. If the graffitist intended to describe his unrivaled skill at sitting on his butt in pure idleness, the insertion of a comma after “anything” (thus breaking the sentence into two independent clauses) would have been most appropriate.

On a very vaguely linked theme, the best location on this board has to be ‘on the level, when inclined’. I just love that - and I’m sorry, I can’t remember whose it is.

Actually, on pondering further, I’d have to say that the link is so obtuse, you’d need quantum physics to discover it.

Ah well, if you can’t hijack your own thread…
