Who is the best at QC.
SilentJ:
Yeah, we need categories. Like that girl Jen whose username I forget wins "best carried out fake."
Jace:
Paul, he would probably sit down with the lion and talk to him about why it is a bad idea to eat humans. Then later use it as an anecdote to someone having emotional stress in the blog thread.
Tyler:
Clearly Ben is not the best.
Will, end your questions with question marks, or plebeian boarders not unlike myself will get mildly confused, possibly frustrated.
Like, does it not bother anyone else when the wrong punctuation utterly changes the intended meaning of a sentence? It reminds me of a time in one of my international conflict classes. The time was about 3 hours ago, but it was still a time that was important. I mean, can we really disregard recollections if they are too current? Is that some how time-spacist? Can one be time-spacist? I don't know. But anyhow, we were discussing Rwanda, Hutus, Tutsis, genocide and all that jazz. All very complicated and such. Now the claim was made with a great level of certainty that the Belgians and French were responsible for the whole tiff, because they shot down a plane with the president on it or some other inconvenient and rather unsavory thing. This invariably resulted in debate on whether Belgium and France had ever had diplomatic summits in regards to which nations were allowed to claim naming privileges to various pastries and breakfast goods. Now, it is most likely that Belgium decided upon its own waffle naming in order to assert its position amongst the collective of baked good states in western Europe. However, it should be noted that Belgian waffles cannot be purchased in many American restaurant and fast food chains. Needless to say, after class the obvious trip was to Dunkin Donuts to nominally investigate the origins of the baked goods on the menu, but more practically to indulge in some coffee consumption. I ordered a medium black coffee, and my compatriot, a large french vanilla, 2 Splendas. The woman at the register stated "$2.13 together." I handed her a $5 bill and waited for change. She stared at me for about 45 seconds before I realized that "together" was not a statement of price, but a question added on with no affectation in voice. After sorting out the details, we paid the full price for the drinks and went on our way.
The point being, you are better off brewing your own coffee at home, because $2.13 for a rather small medium is too much.
Will:
Tyler - are you referring to my overall post, or the question contained in quotes? (Please note the question mark at the end of the preceding sentence, love, and be not confused.)
If you are referring to the in-quotes question proposed as an alternative to the original question "Who is the best at QC?" (please note the lack of a question mark from the original poster, who is apparently a bad, bad wo/man/being of indeterminate gender) then yes, the failure is mine, and great indeed. The excitement manifesting itself in my consciousness when I considered the frantic nature of such a poster driven to avoid BEING EATEN BY A GODDAMNED LION was unable to be contained, and I allowed my base desires for exclamation marks to overrule my normally flawless execution of grammar and syntax as it pertains to the vernacular specific to this community. I humbly apologize (apologise, to those of you 'across the pond (or would it be ponde?)) for any confusion and hurt I may have caused you.
However, if you are referring to entirety of my previous post, then your mistake is assuming that I meant to ask a question. While it was phrased in a casual, suggestive manner, I was in fact declaring my proposition to be clearly superior, thus rendering the use of a question mark not only impertinent, but damaging to my overall cause.
pwhodges:
I am reminded by the few posts above that when at school in the early 1960s I taught myself to read and write using the Shaw Alphabet (whose development was funded by the will of the writer George Bernard Shaw). Why, I leave as a not-too-difficult puzzle for you.
