hmm...
let's see....

if i say 'yes,' you're going to pound me for hitting on your sister.
if i say 'no,' you're going to pound me for NOT hitting on your sister, which is even more of an insult

hmm..
so i take the fifth.
but i know that's not going to get me totally out of the doghouse
so i'll leave a fifth, and hopes that you'll understand i was simply flattering your lovely sister.

OK, here's the deal. I'm gonna have to punch you in the neck, but I'm also gonna take your liquor. No hard feelings, but Mom needs her drinky-drink.

Some of Rick Moody's short stories are writen with no commas or periods no punctuation of the sort that searates ideas at all and it's really exhausting for me to read because the sentence just goes on and on and it builds this weird level of anticipation and I start to actually hold my breath because reading is sort of like speaking like speaking in your mind to youself like reading yourself a story

Se what I mean? It made me sort of hate his stuff but then I found out he wrote The Ice Storm, and I loved that movie... so I'm undecided.

My biggest punctuation peeve is when apostrophies are used to indicate the plural; like "TIRE'S." Unless a guy named Tire owns the joint, that's just wrong. But often when I see that, it's next to a, "se habla espanol" sign so I think it's partially a non-native speaker problem.

...someone can know both the definition of and the correct context useage for difficult words like "sardonic," "catharsis," and "macabre," yet canNOT grasp the basic rules for deciding between "your" and "you're," "its" and "it's," and, perhaps most disturbingly, "one" and "won"?

peopel on teh interweb scare me sometimes.... :?
"yeah... its two bad that your not as smart as the won and only mr_j."
