- Jeepers, so far the best you can do is a *grammar* flame? And,
- BTW, the comma I left out is optional. I will admit it would

- Newbie.
-
- No, you are unlikely to live it down unless the quality of your
- postings is drastically improved. In all fairness, Tom, you
- aren't half as bad as Caire...but please don't take that as a
- challenge.

- Uhuh. Look, after you get Rocco and Spike back from the hospital,
- don't forget to unty your limbs, okay? Your arms look sweet tied
- in a bowline, but if you leave them that way the circulation will
- almost certainly be impeded. If you lose your arms to gangrene,
- those exciting fridays you spend with a copy of "Hot Teens
- Show Panties" will come to and end.

-
- No, it's one of those days when I look to Peeves as an oasis of
- rational thought and mysanthropic humour. Not bloody fools
- parroting second rate british comedy troupes. As you indirectly
- pointed out, I pay no admission to come here...Yet it behooves
- you, Thomas, to cease your prattle until you have something
- vaguely interesting to say.
-
- Go away, Spike and Rocco miss you.
