Hi call me S C

I wanna be a , then.

Can I be a ? (I think I am anyway)
?

I remember an old story that was supposed to come out of the Soviet Union. Seems that this man had been convicted, and was going to prison. He had attempted to gain a pardon, and it was denied, The telegram that was supposed to be sent to the head of the prison was:



A person who was concerned about the plight of the prisoner, intercepted the telegram and changed it to:




BTW, I think that I am a "!"

damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead
or
damn, the torpedoes, full speed ahead

I just don't want to be the COLON!!!!

Slow children playing
OR:

Slow, children playing

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I wanna be an asterisk!!

I wanna be an asterisk!!
**************************************

So now. wants to be;. I guess we all have our aspirations.

Oh!

We need a ruling. Is asterisk punctuation??????

(I also don't want to be a PERIOD!!!!!)

I know. I want to be that little curvy thing you put on an 'n' to make it sound like nyeh!

,!

.~.

,? - >( *^@ ::' "" ':;;;'''?

easy for you to say

&&%% %^%$@$! **~&&%^*, *&$%$ #@@ - &*%!!!!!!!

Actually, you know, dammit - I have lost my ability to use the semicolon.....I no longer really know when it is correct.

I have replaced it with that devil's candy of the punctuation world - the -.

My new name is \ .

Not just a slash, mind you, a back slash.

Good story, Phoenix. One cannot possibly overestimate the importance of the comma. Take this sentence:

Republicans say the Democrats don't stand a chance in the 1994 elections.

Now, insert a couple of commas, thusly:

Republicans, say the Democrats, don't stand a chance in the 1994 elections.

Reversed meaning by the simple insertion of a couple of ,,.

Deb, I would reconsider the ; if I were you (which, of course, I could ne'er be), It comes in handy as a substutute for conjunctions when you have a lengthy sentence on your hands (or anywhere else, come to that).

Wha' happen'? Did I drive everybody away from this thread? I didn't mean to, honest.

Came to a full stop, did it?

Came to a full stop, period.

hey, maxsdadeo has noticed one of my favorite signs! every time i see "slow children at play," i think to myself, "must be the water."

my passengers hate it when i reach out and restrain their cranium when i spot a "stop ahead" sign.

there's a sign for an offramp in berkeley (or is it oakland?) that reads "A Street Downtown."



i think i'm an ...


or a ( without it's mate ).
