I've been thinking...
« on: June 21, 2012, 07:03:32 AM »
I have been thinking lately about something monumental regarding the way this board is running, the people who come here regularly (and it has been quite a while, if you look back at the first post), and the newcomers (who each have their own style and buzz to give to the board), along with what this board is all about (or at least meant to be, as in Beau Peep and that other dude), and given that things now are different to how they were ages ago, when we did such things as play tricks on Roger (who became too easy a target so I think we moved on to Peepmaster, who was only slightly better), and I guess how they should be, given the prestigious nature of this notice board, although sometimes I think perhaps it's something else, and that perhaps I have got this all wrong anyway, and that what I was thinking lately was incorrect or at least badly thought out, given how quickly it all came to me, and that perhaps I should give more thought to how tenuous the whole thing is, not that I can remember how it all went together anyway, or indeed much of what it was about, because it's a bit like deja vu, and once you lose the general pull of the idea, the essence of it, you tend to wonder whether you had anything at all in the first place, like now.

Anyway, how is everyone?

Bit early for that much espresso, don't you think?

Am I allowed to tell Mince to f*ck off?

It's obligatory.

I'm fine thanks.

I'm fine, thanks, Mincey. x

I reckon all you wanted to do was make that sentence as long as you could. I stopped reading about half way through, but I searched for a full stop and there's only one at the end.

The git was probably trying to kill off those of us who read out loud!

That accusation has to the one of the worst things that anyone who often visits these forums and sees the kind of writing and jokes and, in the case of Peepmaster, stupid puns that seem to annoy others far more than perhaps anything I could write when I am on this board, although even the title should give away the fact that it's the kind of place we all come, and by 'we' I mean the people who come here often, which I suppose as they often say around here, there you are.

I hope that answers you and puts you in your place.

I didn't really want an answer, to be truthful, and you lost your place in your sentence, anyway: "One of the worst things that anyone ...". You got lost in your description of "anyone" and forgot the verb. So there you are. :-P

When I write a sentence (and this is an example, if you had not noticed - oh, you who condemns me for not having a verb), and when I do so on this board, which I hasten to point out to those who misunderstand grammar, which is usually all the time given this place and the people here, something I might add that has not gone unnoticed.
