Are you attractive to a certain typo?

As the editor of a magazine devoted to basic arithmetic, I've often received favourable attention from 'parellel'. The problem is, I basically prefer 'wierd'!

try "parallel" or "weird"- editors need to be able to spell or employ that cute little spellchecker thing. It's only the rest of us who are allowed to spell that badly. Though you may be American, in which case we know you can't spell anyway..

But “parallel” and “weird” aren’t typos, young Weeble-me-lad – unless, of course, one is trying to type “apothegm” and “hypocaust”.

Personally I receive a great deal of unsolicited attention from “seperate”. How can I make it understand that I want to be just friends?

Also, far from being American, MaryAnn is slugging it out with Duane Zarakov for the title of Greatest Living New Zealander. And one day we shall establish which of them it was who contributed to the old Ask A Drunk as “L Portobello”.

I clearly owe MaryAnn a big apology- sorry for suggesting you were American...

and, I fear, even more as I may have failed to detect the irony first applied above. That bloody Sean has a lot to answer for- I have started assuming unknown posters are stupid Americans.

Its, it's clearly time to go away and whimper

Weebles, get some balls mate, stick by your posts, no matter how wrong/insulting they are.

And, to be fair, you did get the wrong end of the stick entirely, in fact, she was holding a stick, you were holding a bus.

"I have started assuming unknown posters are stupid Americans."
As a stupid American, I resent that remark.

Oh well, achieved something then

Still not cured cancer though have you. For shame, for shame . . .

Pay attention man, he did that a couple of weeks back. In fact "Dr Si" pioneered the "optimistic absolutism" technique, wherein one tells the sufferer that it'll probably all work out for the best.

I presumed Zen Clown lived in Iland...?

That, Sir, is an uncannily astute observation. I'd invite visitors but the harbors are closed due to the fact that all available personel have been on watch day and night, searching for a sign of Sue Denium. We would prefer a signal, a sign, a stab with a hatpin...We would, at least, rest more easily if her bloated, bleached body would wash up on a beach somewhere. (breaks down sobbing uncontrolably)

three months pass...

I have appeared under a false mane. Does that count?

I have appeared under a mare. Does that count?

one year passes...

I am considered vaguely attractive by 'persay', but I just play hard-to-get.

You flurt.

Apostrophes do it for me

― Weebleman (StillSimon), Thursday, 22 July 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Ear lodes always do it for me.
