    I'm a member of a songwriting website and am consistently shocked by outrageously poor grammar and spelling by those who consider themselves wordsmiths. Actually, you'd think I wouldn't be shocked anymore.

    Just saying.

    What thread am I in?

    Are they writing in patois?

    They wouldn't know a patois from a patio or a pattie (I know - I frequent the same site!).

    Someone just critiqued a lyric, demonstrating that they didn't know the difference between the word "palette" and "palate". I'm not kidding.

    I weep.

    We should have a Baraka logo we could shine into the sky from our searchlights - just like batman.

    Then again, we may need it so often that it would only add to the energy crisis.

    I think the important things to ask in this thread need to said:
    > How many zombies has Plan9 killed so far?
    > Has he beat Remixer to the punch and already turned?
    > And most important of all, does he have that epic one-liner to deliver right before offing the latest walking undead wee beastie?

    I think he has been polishing his smooth spot (vigorously) and that we should all give him a little privacy.

    We all need a little me-time now an then.

    Shall we cull TFP for fitting Plan9 one-liners?

    We could be here for weeks.

    If not, and as none of us were invited to zombie fest, I'd say he's on his own

    I'm afraid it would be a little more like this:

    Shitty post in thread this morning, dangling modifiers on awkward syntax. This forum is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The threads are extended gutters, and the gutters are full of drivel, and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their grammatical errors will foam up about their waists, and all the posters and moderators will look up and shout, "Correct us!"...and I'll look down and whisper, "No...."​

    They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my Chaucer professor or David Foster Wallace. Decent men who believed in a word's worth for a word's play. Instead they followed the droppings of pop stars and vloggers and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice. Now the whole Internet stands on the brink, staring down into bloody hell, all those poseurs and pseudo-intellectuals and shit-talkers...and all of a sudden nobody can think of anything cogent to write.​

    but,

    it could be said that words are a fun, a lisping winter leading to the pun, don’t you think so my honey, bunny square. don’t be so cubed, in disarray, words are meant to play, play, play, plan9 would understand my say, if only i am to be judged with blaring guns, i still find pleasure with words of fun, though one must won, i do concede, proper grammar is quite the lead, or heavy like a leaden gun, still, steal, these words for they are fun.

    what rhymes with uterus, doesn’t matter for i have none, my angry one was once removed and now i’m anti-angry uterus, don’t come to close or i will suck your oven to warm a bun, wishful dreamers day in the sun, go get my gun, my days are done, enjoy the angry uterus while you can, for soon it will be a walnut and you like a man, growing hair upon you chin, thank god for extra estrogen.

    Promise me Baraka_Guru, that if it comes to that, you will at least bathe.

    Ugh...gawd. It's not going to be an issue. I have standards, you know. Cardigans. C'mon, you know me better than that.

    Plan 9 and angry uteri
    Zombies that can never die
    But they are dead already, see
    The reason this thread puzzles me
    And then we have the grammar cops
    The roller-coaster never stops
    And all because some young buffoon
    Who never leaves his darkened room
    Has gone to sniff the Autumn air
    And leaves us all to wonder where
    The idiot savant has gone
    To somewhere he cannot belong
    To meet the meat space people there
    Leaving us to our despair.

    baraka...for a moment i thought you were channeling travis bickle's immortal "one day a real rain will come" speech.

    then i scrolled up and saw a uterus whoopie cushion going all godzilla on some city, complete with a non-freddy mercury in the foreground and forgot what the thread was about.

    that is all.

    Insulting buffoons and idiot savants again? Everyone knows that Plan9's diagnosis leans towards mildly to moderately deranged (with a weapons hoard).
