Quotes

And like I said…you can call me whatever you want (basically), so if you want to call me Cari you can…

I think he loved what Margaret said…

ball rolls out of Batmobile
Deadpool: "Huh. Little shiny ball. Hey, uh, was this supposed to fall off your car?
sleeping gas sprays out of ball
Deadpool: "Hey. Ugh. Sleepy-time…………….."
Deadpool collapses

-Batman vs Deadpool, Super Power Beat Down

Okay.

Something like that. I am feeling very dense at the moment. I still don't really understand what he said, even after I slept on it.

“The reason it's worth standing up for punctuation is not that it's an arbitrary system of notation known only to an over-sensitive elite who have attacks of the vapours when they see it misapplied. The reason to stand up for punctuation is that without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning.”
– Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

You just had to do this, didn't you Margaret! JK smiles

Do what?

Post a quote about misusing punctuation!

Oh, yes.

The vapours! LOL Wow….

Weeellll….you could always use emoticons to communicate your meaning. ;)

I knew that someone would say that eventually!

:D

"Forget the idea of selecting the right words in the right order and channeling the reader's attention by means of artful pointing. Just add the right emoticon to your email and everyone will know what self-expressive effect you thought you kind-of had in mind."
That sort of thing?

"Anyone interested in punctuation has a dual reason to be aggrieved about smileys, because not only are they a paltry substitute for expressing oneself properly; they are also designed by people who evidently thought the punctuation marks on the standard keyboard cried out for an ornamental function."
–Lynne Truss

"Forget the idea of selecting the right words in the right order and channeling the reader's attention by means of artful pointing. Just add the right emoticon to your email and everyone will know what self-expressive effect you thought you kind-of had in mind." That sort of thing?

Exactly!

I was in a rather criticizing mood the other day. I have no memory of anything that happened. jk

The quotes are below.
"Something like that."
"Do what?"
"Oh, yes."
I couldn't help but notice that these are not complete sentences. I believe they are "fragments". Is that correct? :D Jk lol :)

So you can't have a one word sentence? In most cases, that is true. In a dialogue, for example, I don't believe that is true.

mmmhmm

That isn't even a word!

You are correct! Meaning, that no one can get onto me for misspelling a word that doesn't exist.

LOL!!!

"If it gets me out of my math lesson, I'd go and watch a potato grow."

"Maybe with some schooling I can make a non-exploding version."

singing REALLY bad "Was blind, but now I'm fou-ou-ou… coughs"

"Well, her looking-glass is now broken glass…"

"Any chance I'll be goin' by train?"

"Watch out for the thistles!" snap "OW!!!"

"Did you get the fish?" "No, all I got was wet!"

"I didn't think Marston would actually eat the cockroach I put in his sandwich."

"Not only did he remember it, he died in it."

-Lamplighter Theaters "The White Gypsy"

That was one of my favorite ones! I love those quotes.

Meaning, that no one can get onto me for misspelling a word that doesn't exist.

So is it an acronym? Because, if it isn't, even if it is part of a dialogue, the first letter should be capitalized, and you should have a stop/period at the end.
Some people might get on your case about it not being a word.
@Madi: This is not face-book. Does anyone know the proper usage of the asterisk?

lol….I don't have Fb so I have to pretend. :P

The asterisk is for alerting people on an IM or chat box that they spelled a word wrong. Like this:

Margaret said: Helo
Madi said: *Hello

:D

LOL Wiki agrees with me!!!!!!!!!!! :P

"It is also used on the internet to correct one's spelling, in which case it appears before or after the correct word."

lol

Did you spell "like" wrong?

Only you, Margaret, only you…would do something like that! smiles

"Bible Bee is fun!"
~Many BB contestants

Mine too! It was SO good! Did you read the book?

I haven't actually read that one. We have around forty of the lamplighter books, but we don't have that one:( I really hope we get it though.:)

Aw, the book is really good too! But there's still some things I like in the audio better though. It's one of my favorite Lamplighter books I've read. :)

2 more :P

"Last time I heard your voice, I mistook it for a chicken laying an egg." "So you can attest to the fact that I sing like a bird?"

"I'm not prone to liking people, nor are they prone to liking me."

That first one gets used in our house all the time. We're not known for our good singing. We still love singing, just nobody asks us to sing anything where there will be people. It runs in our family:)

Lol! Yeah, I like singing, but I sound awful, so I can sympathize :)

Our family always sits in the second pew at church, so we can sing as loud as we want, and we don't have to worry about the people in front of us plugging their ears:)

Lol! That's very considerate of you all! =D

(aaaand, I forgot one more :P) "I was listening to him, I didn't like what he said. That's why I dumped the tea on him."

I say that to my sisters all the time, only slightly rephrased "I do listen to you but I don't like what you say!"

=D I always quote the one that's like "you never use them", but I quote it rephrased so much that I forgot what the real quote is… :P (when what's-his-name found Gilbert and brought him back to his mom…)

"Prayer is a very special thing—a one-on-one conversation with the Creator and Lord of the Universe, made possible through His Son. Anything less isn't a prayer." -Connie Kendall

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
One of my most favorite quotes of all!!!!!!!!

On the dangerous risk of sounding political, but this is not really being political, I'm just teaching logic. jk.
'If Americans really wanted Obama care, laws wouldn't have to be passed to make them buy it.' -Hearsay

What's wrong with sounding political? I saw the locked politics page on the bottom of the forums list. If I remember correctly, at least two people said that there were "godly people on both sides of the debate". To those who said that, are there good people on the side of abortion? How about the gay debate? Or all of their anti-family, anti-Christian laws? Anything the liberals do/promote/fund/etc is (that I know of) evil, wrong, and of the devil.

No politics please…

C'mon, as long as it doesn't get too big, why not? It's a topic worth discussing.

Sorry. But the politics forum was locked and so I took that to mean that there was no politics discussion. So, I will step out of this. Y'all can do what you think is right.

I tend to agree with Carissa. As Alex said when he locked Politics, the admins prefer to keep politics off the forums. I'm not opposed to a politics discussion; however, I am opposed to doing something that we've been specifically told that we shouldn't do here.
