No Housework Day Ride & Cherry Blossom 10-Miler Carbo Load Dinner!!! (Page 63)

Nah, there are plenty of cute guys in South Jersey. Unfortunately, none of them work in my office. It's okay. I made it to the car on my own. I considered crawling at one point half way through, but that would have ruined my pants, and right now, i can't walk into a store to buy a new pair of pants. So, I just dealt with it.

And you know what they say about everything in Texas...   

Not to mess with it? No, wait, nevermind. That's Texas itself that you aren't supposed to mess with. (Pardon me, "That's Texas itself with which you are not supposed to mess" )

Aren't you supposed to be correcting notebooks, young lady?  There will be time for fantasizing later.

Mmm...nice midwestern boy...I might know one of those

I thought we weren't mentioning him anymore.  You just can't help yourself, can you?   

No names, no details...

Ah, I see.  Keep it anonymous.  Good hookup policy.  what about if you just know numbers, as in three-five-five-eight? 

Puss

+5.  Good job.

- Preposition Police

Do you guys also work with the Proposition Police?  If so, please do not go back through the entire thread.

"Go back?"  I've been here the whole time.  I've only caught two good saves.  The score:

Lauren - 5 (awkwardly worded her sentence to avoid prepositional wrongdoing)

Scott - 5 (corrected a previously typed sentence)

Wurkit - 0 (just because I wanted to mention that she hadn't scored )

That doesn't make sense. Scott should only get 3 points.

Maybe, maybe not.  Should I reward you more for doing it right the first time, or him more for admitting his mistake publicly and fixing it?  See, it's totally arbitrary, anyway.  I am not, in fact, a bonded police officer, so I can pretty much do as I please.  I DO accept bribes, though.

(Oh, and people who complain get their legs swept)

Shelly, it's kind of like a "proposition," but without the walk of shame in the morning.

Voc tech... sigh.

Someone tell me to go run.  My house is too quiet.

Go look at many of your posts.  Find one that ends with a period.  Look at the word directly preceding the period.  Chances are, it is a preposition.

Dangling prepositions are something I just cannot deal with.

dude, 1/2 the time I don't know what I am talking about.  Or, what of which I am talking.  About.  Like when I try to PM people with military shouts, for example.

oh boy if we have to have correct grammar, this thread will slow to a crawl.  And several people won't be able to post at all.
