		<description>Jay, I was put here on this earth to enjoy God’s creation and enjoy life. I am enjoying watching you writhe like a worm in hot ashes over the opinions of others. 

Why do you care what we think? How do you allow our opinions to put you in such anger?   

Let this be a warning to you oh miserable soul. Don’t pop a tube over what I think. My vote and opinion cancels out yours anyway. 

I can believe I am trying to reason with an asshole…..was I still typing…I thought this keyboard was turned off….</description>

		<description>We don't watch or listen to sports, so I wouldn't know about their grammatical deficiencies, Sandy. Thank goodness! It would probably drive me nuts. It's always bad enough to hear George W. on the (fortunately) few occasions we have to listen to him speak.

I know I'm not a great speaker, so when I do open my mouth, I try to make sure something intelligent and intelligible comes out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I'm not paid to speak, so whatever.

Wow, Wreg! Did you use "desultory" in the same sentence with "gymnasium"? ;) Good job, Buddy!</description>

		<description>I did learn a big fancy new word while watching a boxing match once. Jim Lampley of HBO sports commented in the 9th round of a boxing match that "So far this has been a rather desultory event."  

I ran, got the dictionary and swore I would use the word whenever I could so there you go. I used it again and proved all sports casters aren't stupid. 

Maybe I didn't actually prove the second but it is a cool word.</description>

		<description>Have you noticed that most sportscasters can't speak proper English?  Their grammar is terrible.  And the grammar on road signs leaves something to be desired.</description>

		<description>Pretty funny, Wreg, but typos are a different story. 

Everyone makes mistakes. And the enjoyment of my repast is generally enhanced by being able to snicker or giggle about the "Black Angus Buger" that the guy at the next table is eating, or something to that effect.

One of the things that I often feel, is that we are SUPPOSED to expect less of the majority of the people here. That, to me, is being elitist. Akin to the southerners' "bless their hearts...."

We, as former statesiders, now Virgin Islanders, are often chastised for complaining too much about the senators and others who are in positions of "power", so to speak, when they continuously screw up and screw us! 

I refuse to expect less of people because they have more melanocytes than I do!</description>

		<description>From "Stuff White People Like"

The Problem:

What should you do when you find typos on a restaurant menu?
The Solution:

The presence of an improper apostrophe on a menu can ruin an otherwise delicious meal for a white person.  Jane Black recommends asking for an extra copy of the menu, taking out a pen and marking all of the mistakes.  When you are finished, you should then leave the restaurant with the hope that the chef will see the mistake and correct it before your next visit.  This is considered the best solution since it allows you to use proper grammar while simultaneously avoiding confrontation (#128 in the book).

The other option is to simply recognize that the typos, while egregious, do not prevent actual meaningful communication on these menus.  This would allow you to escape the tag of “elitist,” “pretentious,” or “banned from eating here for the rest of your life.”</description>

		<description>Jay, lighten up already.  The guy who wrote the Ark Welding sign was a friend of mine, a fellow welder.  We laughed about it, together.   I don't think you are a moron, I don't even know you...</description>

		<description>Jay, your theology is outdated. God didn't create them, they &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; gods.</description>
