cogdssnnce? kwl. fooco? gbbrsh.
Who's got those spew shields in stock? Anyone? Posty-rant-off: The horse is not merely dead, it has been tenderized. It is a horsey paillard. It's been dredged in shredded details and words, fried in some anger, eaten and expelled. Leave it be. |

See, this is what confuses me:
If I post "you're composing your posts in English," well, that would be banal.
But if I post "you're a f***ing idiot moron," I could get warned by the moderators.
Go figure.
I think it's the redundancy of using both idiot and moron that trips the sensor. Specifically those two words or any double noun combination? Just call it poetry and then you don't have to abide by any rules of grammar. Hmm. Poetry you say? You are a troll Nasty and covered in slime I don't know why you come here, when you could visit a better clime Please write in complete sentences, they don't have to rhyme We just want something we can work with instead of needing the time to puzzle out your meaning. It's not a crime to be new, though some might think so. We yearn for the sublime raised by a new voice on the climb. So please post your queries, your comments, and chime in where appropriate. But don't continue to spread your slime. We don't want it. |

If only I had studied poetry in college so that I learned the proper forms, but alas I did not. |

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

Wow, way to take *everything* personally. How on earth could that person's problems be some sort of occasion for you to get defensive? You want to rethink that one or have a glass of wine or beer or something. I think the job season is getting to you.

One welcome party per moniker is sufficient, guys. I know we all love Naan, but three of threads welcoming her to distinguishedness again and all in the most recent top ten M&G is a little excessive. One too many metaphors of that type, that's all.

Thanks for the tip, Conjugate. I don't care what he says about you; you give good advice. |

It's the lack of the poetry class that indicates you haven't been properly trained as an engineer. |

If I do it out of nice heavy stone, then the resulting collapse would squish the trolls and save us some headaches later. |

Ah, the trolls live under the bridges, but there is colateral damage when the regular people are the ones driving across. If you did that, they would take away your iron ring. |

Not all bridges have vehicle traffic and think of the extra people employed to undam the river after every fall of the scenic footbridge. What? You thought I would build multiple bridges instead of hosing off the stones and reassembling them for the next occupant? |

OK, a private railroad bridge, and we'll send in penguin engineers for the Baldwin. <10 points for the first person who knows what that refers to> |
