Ever been in the room with someone who was on the phone, and had difficulty trying to follow the conversation because you could only hear one side?

Well, this is sorta like the Adjacent Thread Titles thread, but this is for adjacent things said by the same person, but without hearing the posts in-between. I mentioned this one in the thread where it happened, but I'm sure there have been other cases (Elizabeth said so) where humor would ensue, so I thought it could be its own thread. They probably won't be as noticeable as the adjacent thread titles, so you'll have to be on the lookout for them, ok?

First, from TomDavidson in Writers OSC likes:

It's like erotica vs. smut -- I know it when I see it, but there's a fine line in there (probably in the execution).

If you want "meaty," go with Martin. He practically redefines the term.
