Priceless, but somehow I think the editor would object!

I berate thee. Pitilessly, unswervingly, with pride in my might, I berate thee and all that there is about thee; thy name, thy chattels, thy service, thy very soul. I berate with the excoriating force of infinite righteousness.

Um...hold on a bit, I have to leave for a while. I'll berate back.

Me thinks this "Garret" is somehow connected - sockpuppet perhaps? - to DCMS. Observe:

yesterday DCMS kept addressing Chloe but did something odd and peculiar each time: he forgot an "r".

Today, we have "Garret," who in his profile gives the name of "daryl," and yet all the Darryls I have met spell it with two "r"s which means that this dude has....[gasp]... forgotten an "r"!

Coincidence? Methinks not!

When florida during Hurricane Andrew got 24,525.

So a state (LA) with 1/4 the population of Floriad had about 1/4 of the number of national guard troops. Oh the scandal....

See? The rest of us are relegated to the mere phrase "all you other."

And as a nitpicking aside, shouldn't the plural be "pains in the ass," rather than pain in the asses"?

She just rubs me the wrong way. Not that I would want her to rub me the right way either.
OK, so who here wants Chloe to rub us the right way? The line forms behind me! [Big Grin]

Well, Garrett had had two previous exchanges with Chloe (you can see them in his list of recent posts). I just think the guy has a thin skin.

Dunno.

I want to rub her the right, the wrong, the left, and the counterclockwise way!
