“if you break it down into the sentences that normally would be punctuated she knows quite a bit about Japan for a high school student”
Are you f-ing kidding me? First of all, whatever perspective the student MIGHT have expressed here could have been gleaned from Wikipedia, so I’m not sure the student “knows” anything. Secondly what good is KNOWING the information if he/she can’t express it properly? This isn’t just poor punctuation, it’s an inability to present thoughts in a sequential, coherent manner. This sort of writing wouldn’t fly in GRADE SCHOOL, much less high school! It’s completely unacceptable! If this is what passes for “understanding,” it’s not hard to imagine why our country is in the mess it’s in and why people like Rob have jobs.
“cobblehiller, does May 14 work for you? Asking you specifically as you were offering to help”
Yep, that works for me. What can I do to help? [I think I have some free time!]
Have you guys seen this — it made me giggle…

“How about May 14?”
That soon??? I just saw you Assheads.
In that case, why not make it monthly? Seeing you all will give me headaches, cramps, breakouts, I’ll yell and scream like a raving lunatic and be ready to kill someone.

Just saw this….
Someone is finally making some money off Bernie Madoff.
A Queens construction worker used the swindler’s prison number to play the lottery and won $1,500.
Ralph Amendolaro, 50, noticed the digits under Madoff’s mug on the front page of the Daily News the day after he pleaded guilty – 61727-054.
When he stopped at a corner store near his Glendale home on March 13, he played the last three digits in the New York State Lottery’s Numbers game.
“I’m going to be a winner with this guy even though everyone lost money with him,” Amendolaro thought at the time. “Somebody had to get a little lucky with him.”
Although he’s not a regular lottery player, Amendolaro occasionally buys a ticket when a number catches his eye.
The father of three placed a $3 bet for each of the next three days, and that Sunday, 054 came up.
The $1,500 prize is a 16,000% return on his $9 investment – far more than even Madoff promised his bilked investors.
How do I get to the AbASSanian Babtist Church in Harlem?
Dude, I leave for a short while and what do I come back to? Ass. Again. Dammit! Pretty soon I’ll be more that qualified to work as an ‘ass inspector.’
I might be otherwise engaged during Cinco de Mayo.
May 14 sounds good.
