Put it in everyone's sig.

Except Poly Plus members.

ACK!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Please don't joke about that. I don't want to wake up and find a cute hyperlinked cartoon dragon under every post I ever made here.

[Tuberski]

Buy Poly Plus.

ACK!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Yeah, no. I do my share to support this place.

And I don't drink beer.

[Tuberski]

He'd be buying you San Miguel anyway.

ACK!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

He's going to offer me a breeding package, and I don't swing that way.

[Tuberski]

Yeah, San Miguel beer!

ACK!

Is crap. Even San Miguel Dark is crap. It's a mixture of rice and barley, with very little barley because it must be imported to the PI so they economically put as little in it as possible. To make it darker they follow the poor mass market formula of just burning the **** out of a small quantity of grains, this does make it darker, but it also means everything tastes burnt, and it does not have the richness or fullness of taste which comes from a beer which actually uses more grain to get its darker color and fuller flavor. In short, it is low quality garbage unworthy of anyone's time.

Hearing you loud and clear Buncle ... no money for you. We can find something for you surely ... How about this one, isn't he cute?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

My will to live is ebbing.

Incidentally, some jokes are true - I got a nerd who don't know how to take no for an answer pissing me off elsewhere.

That was my point, without all the extraneous BS.

ACK!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Yes, the point was to torture me with bad beer. Thank you, Bluto.

"this is all about the writers.. and If you are a writer, you know this"

You might be a writer if. . .


In homage to Jeff Foxworthy, I’ve come up with a writer’s version of his classic “You might be a redneck if. . .” And yes, all of the following apply to me. Scary, huh?


You sleep with pen and paper next to your bed—and the stove and the couch and the dining table and the shower and the toilet and the. . .


You have a favorite punctuation mark. My editor’s trying to wean me off of em dashes—good luck with that. However, I’ve recently discovered the joys of the semi-colon.


You’ve been known to argue with someone on the usage difference between en and em dashes. Don’t even get me started.


You’re completely and utterly addicted to fountain pens. You have more bottles/colors of ink than you have pens, and use this as an excuse to buy more pens.

Don't be such a Fool fellas...

be open minded on this kind of thing
