From a thread at CE... this wouldn't add anything there, but was just too good to pass up for a quibbler like me... :D

I'm sorry, Illumina, and pardon the tangent to that thread... but if I *was* placed? Bring the subjunctive back from the dead... if I *were* placed.... :D

One cannot be too careful when one is positioning oneself as the "Overly pedantic mistress of language".... ;)

Okay. Crawling back into my hole now... go on about your business... nothing to see here... move along, citizen....

*triple-checks for typos and grammatical errors first...*

<font color=steelblue>Apologies to Illumina Drathiran'ar.

We, the kindly moderators of Ironworks Gaming Forum will be hanging the accused, Bungleau, from the nearest cyber tree tomorrow, which will include (but not limited to) a severe flogging at the same time.

Mods, take this one away to the holding cell.</font>

What? What did I do? Was it being even more pedantic? Or allowing CE to fester over into GD? Or something more insidious?

TL, I'm going to need defense help.... quickly!

It was for being pedantic! Bungy, since you have 7k plus posts, I guess you've been on the net for awhile now. So you must know that netiquette requires you to NOT criticize grammar or spelling unless in that type of forum. Love [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=steelblue>Besides, we've not had a public hanging or flogging in a while and we're just bored. So...you'll do nicely.

Any last meal request?</font>

Tomorrow will include a severe flogging at the same time?
Bungleau will include a severe flogging at the same time?
The moderators of Ironworks Gaming Forum will include a severe flogging at the same time?
What does the "which" refer to?

I think Iron Greasel need a flogging too... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I say we just pop some dust rags on his butt and make him clean the Cafe floors.... [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img] :D

Need<font color="FF0000">s</font> a flogging, thou haughty pox-marked giglet!

edit: And yes, Luvian, I know you made that mistake on purpose.

<font color=skyblue>That's the way!


And for those confused...we hang him and whilst he's hanging, he is flogged...and then set on fire. When we're sure he's dead...we cut him down and the Great Choc devours his roasted flesh. </font>

*protests*

What about pointed sticks?

I think the marshmallows were on those.....someone get them out of Memsie's locker!

Ah nothing like a good forum flogging.

Woot time too pop out the pointy sticks and roast some forum members.

Hey this time can I tie them to a fire cracker and set it off???

[img]smile.gif[/img]

Now, you just hold on a gosh-darned minute. Coil up the rope, put the cats o' nine tails back in Choc's locker, and set the pointy sticks back on the pointy hats from whence they came.

Illumina gets to beat up on folks who abuse the language, setting herself up as the overly pedantic mistress of language, and when she stumbles, we're all supposed to just look the other way? If you're going to set the standards, you need to not only follow them, but also lead them.

*grumble*

Just because she's younger than I am, and better looking than I am, and...

Oh, hell. No way I can win this one.

*offers up arms*

Hehe...Ok... we'll have mercy, TDC can only use the little firecrackers.... [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Well now that he offered his arms can Choc claw them off and the other forums members beat him with it??

LOL

<font color=white>Thus spoke Bungleau as he was led away in chains while the crowd cheered...all but one, JrKASperov, who was quickly assaulted by Luvian's Throwing Hammer of Silencing +9.</font>

Well, you're welcome to flog me as well.. Lord knows I've been too colloquial lately... but to be fair, I recieved my title from Arledrian.

So, after I engage in self-flagellation, can I help flog? I have my own whip and everything.

<font color=skyblue>Oh...really? hm...um..I, uh...what was I talking about?</font>

Alright, everyone wanting a flogging please get in line, Larry will get to you soon enough.

A flogging! A flogging! He's going to give us a flogging!

I've never seen so much moderator spam in one thread. Surely that deserves a lashing or two...

You bring the ropes, I'll do the knots.

The spam builds up inside of them, and they have to let it out somehow..

unless it contains reference to penis enlargement, V1AGRA, Afriacn refugee millionaires, or at least the hottest stock market news, it doesn't qualify as spam...
