HEY!

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!

Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir is trying to find out if there are any English majors out there in TOTVland. Somewhere along the way, he got it into his head that I am an English major. He thinks I will be thrilled by the idea of "Punctuation Day."

Now, let me ask you this, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir, have you ever seen anybody who can bastardize punctuation more than I can?

Yeah. Yeah. I know what you are thinking. I know you know that I bastardize the ellipsis all the time and that I am way too in love with the dash. And that I ask too, too many rhetorical questions -- not enough question marks........

But I also know you are thinking that there are English majors who think it is perfectly fine to use punctuation incorrectly, as long as they know they are using it incorrectly.

And I know you probably saw me try to get into that fun (Is that word an adjective?) rhyming thread, but that I did not read the directions and started writing two-liners instead of one-liners. And I know you think that English majors do not read directions. Or if they do read them, they read them after the fact.

One of these days, Mr. Tony, one of these days......I am going to go back through my own posts and I am going to find ALL the times you have tried to catch me showing signs of being an English major and I know you have been thinking that you can catch me in an out-and-out confession of same.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir, you cannot catch me in that confession of being an English major. You are looking a little like ol' Wile E. Coyote.
