Funny you say that. English was the hardest subject for me in school. Did you ever notice that Math and Science guys have the hardest time with English and Literature? I still received straight A's but only with assiduous persistence. I slept through Physics with Calculus and received A's. Nowadays, my employees have to carry a dictionary with them to understand some of things I'm saying.

Glad to hear you're doing so well :-)

What does "ViperKiller" mean, if I can ask? I was thinking maybe a reference to the car security alarm?

[Yes, I know I shoulda written "may ask" above, but "can ask" sounds better.]

We're all just having fun here :-) You're obviously very smart.

By the way, I got an "A" in both university English Composition AND Math 80 Calculus :-P

Ok, it's one of my pet peeves, that and 'loose' for 'lose'...and 'bout a million others... :)

Thank you!...and honest to God, that 'to' was intentional!...I was going along with Nat's theme there!...

...and don't forget "you're" vs. "your"

Drives me crazy in chat

Gawd, I miss Rodney!

Well, at least you got laid eventually.

Natalie

Jeez, don't get me started now...

Back together again, don't got....

You're obviously a well educated person yourself. So you're the English Comp person I could have used during high school or college.

I chose "Viperkiller" to say that my car will beat the Dodge Vipers. I attended a race event one day and saw on the parking lot two Dodge Vipers. One had a tag of "RICE KLR" while the other had "JAP KILLR". I was obviously appalled that such impolitically correct tags were allowed by the DMV. I thought it was very acrimonious to not only Asian-Americans but to also to those that drove Asian cars. I'm not Asian but I found those tags still offensive. So I decided to modify my 94 Supra Turbo. The last time it was dynoed, it was rated at the wheels for 660 hp. This is 100% street legal as it still has two cats (so it passes emissions with flying colors) and the noise meter read at 87 dB when it was placed 3 feet behind the muffler during full throttle. My tag now reads "VIPR KLR". At the track, my best 1/4 mile time was 11.4 at 136 mph. The first 3 gears are very traction limited as the rear tires are only 275mm wide. It still gets 21mpg mixed driving.

How about: irregardless.

Sorry, me beign lazy:

My your saucy [chuckle].

Don't worry, though, I would Never be interested in a married woman. Though I often have to beat them off with a broom.

Got to beat the gay men off, too, sometimes (but I don't hold it against them, as I don't hold unwanted come-on's against the opposite sex either).

LOL

Yow! That sounds like one helluva car.

Sneaked vs. snuck - most people don't know 'snuck' is slang

*fwap*

PICTURES, man...

Re-read your first sentence there, and chuckle along with me...

Natalie, who sees twisted humor in everything

Heh, heh. I'll have the last chuckle ;-)
