Curious...This isn't "Breaking News"..where's the beloved "moderators"?

[nunya bidness]

I distinctly remember burying something.

Miss mammoth much?

[markfiveFF]

And BTW, the word is "axiom".

Isn't that a laundry deterrent or something?

Miss mammoth much?

I miss her a great deal, and I did not bury Miss Mammoth!

Grammar got run over by a reindeer?

My Grandma is okay. And it was a moose, not a reindeer that run her over.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I'm sure that you meant MØØSE... right? ;0)

[Rain-maker]

Hold it in? Who says there's no sandbox here?

" BLUE MURDER " is part of a VERY old phrase ... as in " CRYING BLUE MURDER ." An IDIOMATIC / POETIC term. I really did NOT mean to confuse anyone. SORRY. : - (

I really can't explain it further, unless I go look it up. It's just something I grew up hearing. It REALLY is good / correct English ; or used to be.

[nopardons]

Sorry for the typo. Thanks for the corection. : - )

[nopardons]

See my post to Fred.

I honestly thought that " blue murder " was common knowledge. I guess that I'll have to go paw through some books, and see IF I can find you & Fred, a definative answer. : - (

Look, I am a lowly " webbie ". This the THIRD keyboard, that I am on, and they ALL loose the letters, pretty fast. It hardly pays, for me to buy yet another one, when I know, that the letters on that one, will disappear as rapidly as the others have. The following letters, are completely gone , from my board : w e r t y i o p a s d g h c b m . To add insult to injury, I am a TERRIBLE typist, and have a form of dyslexia. I AM NOT A VICTIM. I am just somewhat incompitent as a typist . Yes, I SO miss far more typos, than I catch and fix. I do usually proof read, before I post. WebTV, is different from a computer, in that it will often do things, that one as NOT actually asked it to do. When the batteries begin to run down / have run down , letters WILL be doubled, trebled, and even omitted / skipped, no matter what one has really typed. It will also post , BEFORE one has pushed the post button , and much more.

I am NOT, in any way excusing my posts. If ,as you claim, you agree with me 90 % of the time, on 90 % of m posts, then jst try to ignore the mess I usually make, trying to get the message out. I make MORE sense, than most people, who post PERFECTLY typed replies. : - )

Hear, hear! Ditto. Yes you do, my dear friend.

[nopardons]

Many thanks ! : - )

People, who use replies to complain about typos, have NOTHING of value to say.

[onyx]

Thought police, spelling police and now the typo police.

[nopardons]

Yep, and most of that stuff comes from people who DO use this site not only as a sandbox, but as a chat room, a singles bar, and a soft porn site. : - P ~~~~~~~~~~

Blue Murder was a band in the late 80's that never quite reached one hit wonder status as far as I can remember.

Who the hell is up at this hour anyway?
