Well, I’m going to defer from using excessive apostrophes just to appease Sean, simply because of years of being raised by a former high school English teacher, and being a certified elementary teacher myself…I’m not going to slap wrists if you choose to be Se’an, Ch’uck and A’udra, but just to know what it’s like being on Punctuation Patrol, you should take a few hours (that’s all it takes) to breeze through Lynne Truss’ Eats, Shoots and Leaves: A Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. Humorous, even if you don’t (dont) learn a frakkin’ (frak’ing) thing.
I don’t want to spoil anything…but be sure to listen all the way through the outro music…
…all I can say is, does that sound like Mr. Movie Phone or is it just me?
Huh. Has he moved across the river and taken Kramer’s old appartment?
That is a fun read.
However, I have noticed a certain tendency to over use punctuation - of all kinds - in myself, having read this book. So, if you’re ever reading one of my post and notice a riot of semicolons, comas, and dashes, that only seem to make the sentence harder to read, you know who to blame.
BTW, if people aren’t aware all South Park episodes are available online, for free.
You really do need to watch the most recent one that Sean was talking about…it is brilliant:
Thanks! I kept meaning to check it out, but kept forgetting to look for it.
Meh. I thought the reaction of the citizens of South Park was much better than the Diamond subplot. All of my laughing moments (and the ones the partner and I keep quoting to each other) are from the kids and their families.
I know what you mean, but the whole “elected to perpetuate a diamond heist” is just SO South Park.
Finally got around to watching it tonight. It was priceless.
And it’s amazing that the episode aired on last Wednesday only a day after the election. In the episode McCain says in his concession speech something like “The blame for failure in this election rests squarely on me” and that’s just what the real McCain said the day before!
Last time I was that amazed (in terms of timing) by South Park is when they did a thing on Saddam Hussein being capture justs days after Saddam Hussein was captured.
There was a behind-the-scenes bit on one of the DVDs (which I believe they were conducting from a hot tub, for some reason) where they explain that the simplistic animation of the show allowed them to be so much more topical than any other cartoon. At best, the process from conception to final production only took two days.
Wow, not only do the Tripod (like at Delphi! :p) talk about me in a 'cast, but I got multiple birthday greetings? Not to mention all the great stuff everyone’s already done for me on the forum in the past few days…
:eek: Am I dying? :eek:
Thanks so much, EVERYONE!
I was astonished myself that they even played it

You and your (to me) obscure American cultural references…
Isn’t everyone? Isn’t life just a flicker in the history of the universe?
GR! Stop with the existential! You’re messing with my hed!
I think he is quoting “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas
OK, here’s where I apologize for being my usual dorky self and neglecting to call into the 'cast on time to wish you a Happy Bday and I was the one who suggested the calls to the cast. This, my friend, is more like the me who forgets your birthday every year, no?
Glad your birthday was so great–no you’re not dying–well, yes you are, but no more than the rest of us. You’re just a great guy and you deserve the recognition once in a while! Don’t expect me to remember your birthday on time next year–this was a freak of the universe, ok?
Maybe you could do an intro with an Aussie accent.

(Warning: the miracle of life may be NSFW :rolleyes:)
Maybe I could do an intro naked?!
And I would like to say that I don’t sound nothing like that moviephone guy.
(Warning: the miracle of life may be NSFW :rolleyes:)
Totally SFW where I work.
You mean you didn’t?
Huh. Would have lost that bet.
For those who don’t know, Keara has routinely forgotten my birthday since high school. In fact, she’ll often call me on and around the day itself by coincidence, but she still wouldn’t remember until her own birthday on
NOVEMBER 27th
The first year she actually remembers, and she recruits a gang of accomplices. So how am I gonna top that?
PM me with suggestions. :rolleyes:
