I've heard the devil is really fun at parties. That might make me love him, too. So give me ten.

I take it preachers generally did not excel in their grammar classes in grade school. I drive past a church every day through the week that has a sign out front. The preacher changes the sign about once a month. There's a different message on either side of the sign. I've been driving past that church for eight months now, so I've seen sixteen different messages. They have all been grammatically wrong. I can't think of any exceptions.

I've thought about getting out and taking pictures each time he changes the sign, but I'm in a large, heavy straight truck and I don't want to get on his parking lot with it.

the possessive form of a word is an abbreviation of the word "his" left over from old English. She was trying to demonstrate to me how our language has some sexist aspects to it.

So maybe the person who wrote the sign was trying to say "sport his nut his," and just didn't have enough room on the sign.

Sounds like some ESL naughty thing. Of course, the composer of that sign is obviously ESL, his first language being "stupid."

12. P.K's = Promise Keepers
Sat Jun 9, 2012, 09:58 PM

My fundy sis-in-law says Promise Keepers are New Age phonies, not real Christians, and that they're cowardly sissies. Maybe that's why P.K's are listed.

The apostrophes make me cringe.

He had a TV set on a rack in his office.
One of the video tape boxes on the rack under it was entitled "BLACK - WHITE - ANAL".

I damn near puked. What a hypocrite.

I think he meant Baha'i and I don't know where the apostrophe goes in that one. Had to look it up.

My ex husband married my daughter's kindergarten teacher and she told me that the new wife celebrated "yamaha day". I could not figure it out until she was old enough to tell me that the woman is Baha'i.

Of course as a friend of mine once told some thumpers that she didn't believe in God, their response was "Then you believe in Satan"
Her response was You have to believe in one to believe in the other-two sides of the same coin.
She thought they were going to have a fit.

with tenure counts as a "recipient." And my laziness when it comes to housework probably qualifies as "freeloading." So, nine.

Still not good enough, though - I'll have to consult the wife to see if we can get drunken perverted fornication on the calendar. Maybe with some emo tunes in the background...

They don't have it in "druggies" but why do they add it in the other ones? They realize it is not needed for the plural for "druggies" but not for the others.

What is "fullutent."
