There used to be a time, not so long ago, when we could put as many words as we wanted between the two arrow keys.
<Icantshowyouanexamplebecauseitdoesntworkanymore>
but now we can't. It now truncates everything down to one word if we try.
I miss those goddammed arrow keys! Is it just my computer? Is it just on Macs? I need to find a replacement!
I've seen other people on A2K try to work around it by simply using parentheses...
(pauses, thinking...)
...not bad, but it just doesn't feel quite right to me somehow. Parentheses are just so curved and girly...action should be a masculine thing, in my opinion. Am I right, people?
I saw Gus use the arrow symbols the opposite way once,
>like this<
which, I think is pretty good, actually.
Or should I go with asterisks!?
***rubs chin, pondering***
I don't know...what do you think?

You have to check the "Disable HTML in this post" box. <then you can put as many damn words as you want inside>
Hmmm.....I wonder if that works...
Stray <My Sandwich Thread's Up To Five Pages> Cat
Yep...
<Gus walks away muttering something about how simple that was>
I've told people how to do that a million times and I get no credit for it!
<hmm, that sounded kind of bitchy.>
<should I take it back?>
<is it to late to edit?>
<Oh, well, f*ck these jerks anyway, buncha dimwits.>
<Oh ****, I think they heard that too!...>
[I tend to bracket things myself but I don't blame (joe nation) for being upset with kicky's <quite uncalled-for> attack on the lovely perentheses (which, I jsut learned recently, in Britain are called brackets).]
{Then there's these doodads, of course. I don't know what they're called.}
<spits a big loogie on Stray Cat's sandwich while she's busy patting herself on the back>
Thanks Swimpy! That was too easy!
Wow, I feel like an idiot now.

In your case, anything you write gets ignored anyway, so the point is moot.
<snickering>
Looks like they moved this thread to Forum Help....which no one hardly ever reads.......hee hee...heee....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
<empties litterbox on Stray Cat's head>
<wonders why she is always ignored>
<cries a little, softly>
<sneaks up and gooses cyphercat>
<laughs, hysterically>
<sneaks up behind cyphercat and drives pitchfork through back. Tines exit through her chest. Put marshmallows on tines, start fire, and prepare for delicious, browned marshmallows.>
<reflects on earlier irritation with Kicky for his nasty response to poor cat-shelter-person>
<decides to enjoy being goosed anyway>
<wriggles ass coyly and invitingly>
Son of a---
I see that swampy bastard couldn't let me enjoy my little moment in the sun. Hmmph.
<falls forward into fire deliberately, ruining marshmallows>
<expires triumphantly, cackling with last breath>
<watches kicky talk to himself as stray cat>
( pondering what drugs he is on)
>walks away laughing<
<comes back, grabs cyphercat's tight butt with both hands. Moaning ensues.>
(I didn't send that message by the way. I changed my mind.)
<Realizes he is holding on to the toasted buttocks of a very burnt, very dead cyphercat. Drops them into the fire.>
<Watches Gus talk to himself as Shewolf, who has just skewered cyphercat in a gruesome and shocking act of violence. Wonders briefly if he is having an acid flashback. Remembers that he's never taken acid in his life. Puts it on "things to do" list. Looks up. Stares into the dark sky, thinking of his mother, who died many years ago in a tragic pitchfork/marshmallow incident in which the perpetrator was never caught...hatches brilliant plan to exact vengeance upon the capybara farmer that killed his momma.>
Anyone got a blunt object?
