but I totally saw it coming like a month ago.

Did anyone here not see this coming?
*looks around*

I did not see this coming, no sir.
I was more expecting Marigold walking in on Faye and Angus's first romantic encounter and basically dying immediately of a combination crushed hope and humiliation.

--- Quote from: LTK on 24 Mar 2010, 11:43 ---That's what I thought. Marigold, blissfully unaware she has no chance with Angus; Angus, blissfully unaware Marigold fancies him; Faye, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Man, I'd hate to have to keep writing this drama, hat's off to Jeph.

first off THAT APOSTROPHE HAS TO GO
--- End quote ---
English grammar lesson of the day. Unless LTK is an Ettin (or other multi-headed being), he has only one head. Thus LTK employs only one metaphorical hat at a time and can therefore doff only one metaphorical hat at a time. Thus the plural noun hats would be wrong. On the other hand, without the apostrophe-s, there would be no verb in the clause (my) hat is off to Jeph, making it (my) hat off to Jeph, which is a sentence fragment. The apostrophe indicates an omission, in this case the i of is, and (my) hat's off to Jeph is thus correct. On the other hand, LTK is guilty of a comma splice, which, of course, means that hanging is too good for him, and so we shan't. We don't coddle comma abusers with gratuitous hangings 'round here.
wargrafix:
you have to admit, jeph did the most amazing job with making mari looks genuinely romantic.
michi-love:
Romantic, hopelessly devoted to you dreaming... same difference, right?
Actually, I thought it was a bit creepy the way she stared at Angus. But maybe that's just me.
