The die has been cast!

Good show sir and madam.  I salute the both of you.

[sunnystar]

Wow. Nicely done, star.

Also, I see you have some Purdue-based pictures in your album. Do you happen to go there and/or know anything about it? I just got in for grad school and would like to know a little more about it before I actually visit.

Thank you (all of you), and, yes, I do happen to attend Purdue. Congrats on getting in for grad school! You, too, shall receive a tiny can of Dr. Pepper when I can give them! Say what you would like to know and your wish shall be granted...and you can sleep on mine and Alex's couch when you come, because what is being an Achewood fan for if you can't sleep on fellow fan's couches?

Also, apologies to AugustWest about "y'all"...it was an unintentionally misplaced apostrophy due to sleepiness.

Self introductions...were we supposed to do these?

Shh!  Don't tell the newbies they don't have to introduce themselves.

[CortJstr]

Self introductions...were we supposed to do these? I completely skipped this part and went straight to making an ass of myself. My method is uncertain, yeah it's a mess but it's working. (?)

I missed this too. Do you think it's too late to go back and correct it? I'm not sure I'm really standing out from the crowd right now.

[misterqueue]

yes, we should all do it, even the ones who did it before.  In seperate threads!  Repeatedly!

This is clearly a sane and reasonable idea that all should adopt.  All should adopt this!


(I'm sorry, I was drinking last night and my brain is now caramel)

I think as long as you squeeze your introduction in before your 5000th post it'll still have some added value.  Why, I feel like I hardly know you, despite having read enough text from you to write a large-ish novel.

And of course, the introduction of your name as a common verb doesn't mean you're exempt from introductions.

Court Jester is an uncommon verb.

~Paul

[acoxcae]

I suppose I should've said it was "locally common."  I guess I don't use it in everyday speech, but I'll be damned if it's not pretty popular around here.

[CortJstr]

I don't want it to be too common because I rely on getting this username for every site I register for. I don't want others snapping it up or not believing I'm me. Or maybe it'll just evolve into something meaningless like the horribly butchered "in like flint"

[arkabee]

ya'll is a contraction for "ya all" though.

[AugustWest]

ya'll is a contraction for "ya all" though.

Nuh-uh.

[Golfhaus]

And of course, the introduction of your name as a common verb doesn't mean you're exempt from introductions.

I almost referred to looking something up in a reference guide at work that had been previously consulted as "CortJsting" at work a couple of days ago. Clearly, I should work harder at making additional, non-TOUAMBie friends.

[sunnystar]

ya'll is a contraction for "ya all" though.

I would like to agree with this, for that would make me correct and excite me, but, alas, in accordance with AugustWest's "nuh-uh", "ya" isn't a real word. He said that "y'all" is a combination of "you" and "all", which ARE both real words. So being grammatically correct, which acoxcae would be so proud of, I believe we have to agree that "y'all" is more correct than "ya'll"...although, arkabee, I have seen it both ways...

Just sayin'...

i'm going to my grave arguing that ya'll is a contraction for ya all.  and if sometime between now and my last breath,
someone brings the SCIENCE and attempts to use a PhD to "prove" that it's not,
or that it's not acceptable,
or etc,
i will have lived a happy life,
because
someone will have a spent an important portion of their life
accruing the necessary set of skills, knowledge, and credentials
to point out that a
regional colloquialism
is being spelled "wrong".


oh, the things i look forward to before dying.

I accept your argument, and when AugustWest isn't paying attention, I agree with you! (but we'll let that be our little secret)
