To: left that other site

That’s a nice sentiment, but the verb is intransitive — it does not take an object.

the drivetime DJs were discussing how many pairs of underwear they own. women appear to own far more than men. the consensus was that women own around 20+ pairs or so and men fewer. i have to say i have at least 20-25. more is better so that you are not over a barrel to do laundry every single weekend in order to have fresh ‘gutchies’ for the week.

Intransitive? Oh, really?

One afternoon at the Mystic Knights of the Sea lodge hall, the always-overweight Andy Brown walks in, carrying a large sack:

Kingfish Stevens: Wall, g'daftanoon Brutha Andy. Whatchoo got in dat sack dere?

Andy: 'Lo, Brutha Kingfish. Dese hyar is weights, fo' liftin'.

Kingfish: Whatchoo wanna be liftin' weights fo', Andy?

Andy: I jus' been to the doc fo' a physical kazamination. Doc sez I is run down an' need a lotta exasize.

Kingfish: Yabbut what's dem weights gotta do wit' dat?

Andy: Doc sez if I lift dese a buncha times, it'll tone me up. It'll invigilate me. I'll jes' set 'em right over hyar.

Kingfish: You mean you is gonna invigilate yo'self HYAR? In da lodge?

Andy: Dasright, Kingfish, righchyar.

Kingfish: No, you ain't either, Brutha Andy. Dat's right 'gainst da lodge rules. Artickle 3, paragraph 2, you need ta be readin' our bylaws agin'.

Andy: Whatchoo mean bylaws, Kingfish?

Kingfish: I mean da sacred rules of da' Mystic Knights o' da Sea is what I mean, Andy. Yo get dose weights outta hyar, y'unnerstand?

Andy: Kingfish, is you givin' me anudda ultomato?

Now, all I have to do is sit here and wait for the PC police (lights pipe...).
