I love the action-lines around the keyboard; he's typing the shit out of that shit!

I assumed it was a "him" too, but if you look again, there is no gender implied.

I thought about that while I was typing that sentence, but I assume I'm supposed to relate to the character, and I'm a dude. If I was female I would have said "her" ... No bias intended, just trying to type a clean sentence with him/her/he/she/its.

Besides, a woman would never just go out & start unilaterally correcting other people.

I used to work with a guy who was a bit of a moron. He mistakenly referred to parentheses as "strombolis." The rest of us mocked him behind his back. But just a little. We weren't too mean. (Had to add that because this is the good deeds thread.)

Flint · 02-29-2008, 10:33 AM

No way.

You know the episode of Friends where Joey says supposebly...? I knew this dude that said supposively.

Don't hate just because you don't have a gold star medallion extolling virtues you don't actually possess.

Shawnee123 · 02-29-2008, 02:13 PM

That medallion is better than the flaming bag of crap I usually get!
