Let's eat, Grandma!

A lot of people seem to have way too much time on their hands...when they could be posting on Dave's blog and asking questions of Mr. Language Person.

I believe there are times when a period is cause for celebration.

*snork* @ notsherly.

The semicolon meatloaf looks like it was made with actual colon.

Without the caption I would never have know what it was. Maybe as part of the actual proper use of punctuation there should be some idea of what it looks like

My husband has to have part of his colon removed. (Seriously) Then he'll just have a semi-colon.

OMG it's National Punctuation Day already and like I usually keep up with these things but this summer has just flown by and before we know it it will be Christmas and then New Years of course I don't use much punctuation don't you know Punkin I hope your husband does well.

Kurt Vonnegut said it best:
If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.

icangetalongquitenicelywithoutallthoseunnecessaryspacesandsuperfluousstopsthankyouverymuch.

LOL Nsherl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you're pre-menopausal. Not having a period is a blessing!!!

*can't wait*

oh yeah..(((((((((((((Dr.Poo))))))))))))))
(keep me posted BFF!!)

RAW colon, bon.

Punkin - GOOD one! (And hope it goes well for the hubby!)

Oops! Forgot to change my pirate name.

All, the best Punkin.

Siouxie, my wife's doctor told her that 55 was the absolute limit before going through menopause.

She made it to 54 1/2.

TMI?

What, Meat Loaf again?!?...

Jeff does your wife read the blog? Because if she finds out you told her age on the internet she is, and I'm being gentle with my words here, going to beat you like a yard dog and then she's really going to hurt you. North Carolina is a nice place and cheaper than NY. We also have excellent medical facilities. You will need them.

...And she'll really be mad Jeff didn't put a dash between the " 54 " and the " 1/2 ".

>>Kurt Vonnegut said it best:<<

Kurt could be a real colon sometimes.

the more, you kno'...!

I'm so excited about this I'm getting my Ampersand bronzed.

/me thinks Jeff is currently sleeping in the dawg house.

Men...don't know when to STF up ;-)


Nite all!

Other signs of andropause include:
-rehashing WBAGNFARB motif until it is an irritating echo of the funny joke it used to be
-perpetual whining about not getting credit for sending stories in to a certain humorist's blog
-mocking your wife's menopause
-not knowing when to STF up ;-)

"Andropaws"? Wasn't that some kind of Greek myth?

National Probe Headline:

National, Punctuation Day. Gets-Off to a! Bad "Start"

Not mocking, Annie. Not at all.

cindy, my wife has no problem with her age, and why should she?

And no, she doesn't read the blog.

;)

so soon after talk like a pirate day -- not sure i can take all this celebratin'

Its nice to see punctuation getting it's due.

Nice, one Betsy!

Annie, other. motifs. as. well., yes?

Allen...Bless your heart, and your ability to follow psychotic thought processes.

PS I have no idea how that weird-lookin graphic got there (if, indeed, it's still there when you read this). If it isn't, keep moving; nothin to see here...

Now I'm really confused....my original post said "Allen, thank you for your ability to appreciate psychotic association" or something like that.

More coffee...

Betsy, it's an artifact of TypePoop, and doesn't actually post. I imagine it as the thought process of the typebot visually expressed.

Put a shot of something stronger in that coffee!

I've always had difficulties with .: ellipses.
