Sorry it's been so long since I've posted.
-It's hard to blog from under the bed.
"What are you doing?" says LadyTerri.
"Shhh!" I says. "Or HE will hear."
"Who will hear?"
"The Sinister Semicolon! The Executioner of Exclamations! The Apoplectic Apostrophe!"
"Who?"
"The Ominous Comma has declared me his nemesis!"
LadyTerri sighs. "You haven't been to work in days."
"Of course not. Sudden and horrible death stalks me at every turn!" Peering out at her ankles, I explain. "That's how it works. First you learn to trust Spellcheck. And then it's all lies upon lies."
"Don't you think you're exaggerating?"
"The evidence is overwhelming," I says.
"Really?"
"Yes," I exclaim, struggling to turn over under the box spring. "Remember how the toast burned Friday morning?"
"Yeah," she says.
"Brent," I reply. "And you know how the DVR cutoff the last 15 minutes of American Chopper?"
"Yes-"
"That was Brent too. And what about the neighbor's garden gnomes?"
"That was you. It's in the police report."
"Oh sure. Take his side!" I accuse. "Is that any way to treat the man who found the remote control and your missing tennis shoe?"
"Look," she says. "If you come out, I'll make you some new toast-"
"How dare you use a comma in this house!? Just listen to you. Your dialogues are absolutely littered with punctuation!"
"How did you get the monitor under there?"
"I slid it behind the headboard."

WTG Brent!
I'd be more concerned about a eulogy.
And even more concerned about urology. Not to mention blue-green algae.
My retribution will be swift. Which will come as a shock to those who never thought I was.
Be on your guard Lobo.
(And look .... no commas.)

and as everyone knows a period is only a comma with a sex change
I on the other hand am willing to support you by skipping any semblance of punctuation entirely
must avoid punctuation altogether
Which is a good idea because I am almost out of blog ink
The cat looks like a comma
Karma Chameleon is on the radio
Does anyone know if Brent is cracking yet
:)
Its a good thing you have nice ankles
I thinks Brent is attempting to become one of us as he prepares his conceptualization into that other plane of existence where we now reside
Let him go
he will be alright
and yes Don you are right (to my horror I realize I have committed the ultimate sin of replacing a comma with a period)
~JD
We'll just use commas on Brent's blog and avoid them here
You happy now?
