tyrant almost had me but.......

Got to agree, I had a sense of some heart-rendering, possibly that he had a lot to share with the original poster, but I'll be damn if I could figure out his story or exactly what he was trying to say.

Not trying to single out ol' ty by any means. A lot of folks take exception when people correct their grammar and spelling here, say this is *just* an internet discussion board, not a professional paper or a dissertation. But it is all about communication, and if the reader can't understand your message then you're wasting the time of both parties.

You're not going "Brokeback" on us, are you?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's tyrants dang ADD, it's contagious!!!

1.  It was a joke.  I was following the cue from your o.p.  I forget not everyone is privy to the quotes and jokes floating around in my head.  I watched Shark Tale again with my daughter yesterday and the Renee Z. joke was on my mind.  Sorry to get your hopes up but I'm not going "Bareback" on ya.  If I ever do I'll keep in mind you asked.

2.  Is hijacking your own thread like 'changing your tire'?

I know you're joking, and changing your own tire is OK, jus sayin'.

Ummm, isn't the term you're looking for "heartrending"?  Pot, meet kettle.  Kettle, pot. 

From The Columbia Guide to Standard American English:

The real adjective is heartrending, meaning “heart-tearing” or “heartbreaking” and hence “grief-causing.” Heart-rendering is a nonce word, possibly a malapropism.

Sorry, I was busy hijacking my tire.  What'd you say?

errr it was being used essentially as deliberate jocularity. Nice to meet you kettle.

He did spell USC correctly.

Ok, I'm 'jackin' the hijack. I just finished watching 'Shark Tale' again with my boy, who has much green snot.  I love that movie. Also "Home on the Range'.  One of the many reasons it's great being a parent--funny kids' movies.

That's all, you boys can carry on with your homo-erotic repartee now. And yes, I know there's an accent mark, but I don't know where it is on my keyboard.  

How do we know he doesn't go to Univ of Cal @ Sacramento?

I can't believe y'all are still talking about him and he's not even online yet!

Heartless. At least talk about him to his face.

What..it's all been good.

Hey Tyrant, I just got this email. Turns out that you just need to get the first and last letter right (and a little grammar too) and you're golden.
