To whom is this touch directed, Sheldon?


snipped the goodies

ROFLOLOL!

Hey, MZ, I knew Shellykins was hoisted by his own petard, but your repsonses
make me realize that "skyrockets in flight" is so much more appropriate! He is
out of this world.

Sheldon, give it a rest, be a human, and enjoy life and friends. Life is too
short to waste time; being crunchy. I hope I've left enough errors in this
,missive to give you pleasure corre,cting something.

".... mother****ing zero"

I think your mom is free to do whatever she wants with zeroes. It could be
worse. She could like crazy eights or somethin'.

Thank you, kcat, for your ass.

Please, no more, I only have so many ribs.


Mucho ribs but a spineless piece of ****.


Sheldon


My, my, Oscar Wilde, such rapier sharp wit overwhelms me. Now if only you
could devote some of your self-proclaimed abilities to answering a few of
the questions that have been asked of you in this thread.

Ken


I hesitate to insert myself in the thrust and parry of others
since no good can come of it usually, but I must admit to some
disappointment in you, Ken. As you know, I have been attempting
to coax Sheldon back to his usual very high standards for flames.
Your comparison of Sheldon to Oscar Wilde, even in this
back-handed way, I fear, will lull Sheldon into a sense of
complacency with respect to the quality of his own work, which
ultimately could harm my own efforts. I ask you to consider this
in future.

Now, to Sheldon, Ken raises an admirable point. I still await
your guidance on several points with respect to English grammar.
How could it be that your research is taking you so long when, as
you say, "...the entire internet [sic] is at ones [sic]
fingertips?" Is it possible to give me a future date for the
anticipated completion of your research? I sit doe-eyed at your
feet in awe of the knowledge you might share.

Since I have returned to the subject of English grammar, Sheldon.
I note four points in your use of an ellipsis when quoting my
header in an earlier reply, above. The authoritative tomes I have
consulted, along with research on the Internet, have indicated
that the proper form of an ellipsis is to use three equally
spaced points, unless the ellipsis extends to the end of a
sentence. In this case four points is the accepted form, the last
being a period. Since there was no abbreviated sentence in your
use of the ellipsis, above, it appears you could have made an
error. If you would be so kind, please, add this point to your
research on English grammar. A delay on your part in response to
this is to be expected given the amount of your current research,
so, please, take this into account when calculating the
anticipated date for the completion of your research.

Finally, Sheldon, I must take you to task for your reference to
my sexual habits. I have already mentioned that one does not
discuss such things in public. Myriad are the ways in which you
may offend me without resorting to such coarse behavior. I
beseech you to refrain from such conduct in the future for it
only lowers your standing in my eyes and, I suspect, the eyes of
others.

I ask you both, Ken and Sheldon, for your forgiveness for my
unseemly interruption. Please, carry on.

Best regards,
Mark Z.

Sheldon was the first entry, several years ago, in my killfile. Life is much
more pleasant without him. Apparently, others feel the need to engage
Sheldon. This is a mistake. It is like selling drugs to an addict. Or
teasing a mentally handicapped person. And by quoting Sheldon in your
responses to him, you are by-passing my killfile and increasing my blood
pressure.

Sheldon is ill. He needs help. The best help we can offer is to ignore him.
Please place him in your killfile and move on with the discussion of
fountain pens.

Thanks.

Bob

Sorry, Bob, I'd forgotten about the possible discomfiture of
others. Therefore, I repair from the field.

Like Bob, Sheldon inspired me to learn how to use a kill file. Again.
Could I ask that those who have to respond to the twit edit the
subject to include "Sheldon" in some form or fashion? I'd go so far
as to add a second entry on the title!
