  1. Re:who cares? on Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie · · Score: 5, Funny

    No kidding. Chewbacca always struck me as very dog-like with his speech. He was practically incapable of whispering, and it looked like it caused him great physical discomfort to hold his tongue. I'm sure he was a good friend to have in a pinch, but sometimes you don't need your friends gargling every half-formed thought that flashes through their brains.

    Holy smoke. You must be talking about my building. Dallas, perhaps?

    We've been cool. We just weren't telling you because you say things like "WAY FUCKING COOL !!!".

  4. What are "ribbens"? on Unzipping Nanotubes Makes Superfast Electronics · · Score: 2, Informative

    I rtfa and I saw mention of nanoribbons, but nothing about nanoribbens. Obviously Al doesn't know what he's talking about since he's just making up new words on the fly.

    In answer to your question, you were correct in using "its". Although an apostrophe usually denotes possession, it always indicates contraction.

    The word you're looking for is "The".

    You know, for someone who claims to not care, you certainly do take the time to submit stories and reply to comments.

    Oh, great. So you're reproducing.

    Thanks.

    Sorry about that.

  12. What one earth? on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 3, Funny

    SailorSpork writes "Fans of furries and anime-style cat girls ..."

    I call bullshit on this right out the gate.

    There is NO SUCH THING as a fan of a furry.

    None.

    Furries are mocked and persecuted throughout the internets. In real life, parents (realizing that it is too late to leave them hobbled in the woods) disown them. The feeble-minded openly deride them. Even juggaloes cannot abide the presence of furries.

    I understand the occasional grammar or spelling mixup. I really do. But to allow such an egregious error to be posted is on par with a summary detailing the efforts of General Fred Rogers leading his unicorn cavalry against the Mongolian horde.

  14. Re:Simply appalling on Collateral Damage as UK Censors Internet Archive · · Score: 1

    You see that key just to the right of the little finger on your right hand?

    The one that says "Enter" on it?

    You might want to hit that one time for every three periods you use. I can't guarantee that it will be correct usage, but it will certainly make your thoughts easier to read. As it is, you could have had the answer to all the world's problems there and most of us wouldn't be able to read it thanks to that impenetrable wall of text you threw up.
