Ooh, I love the setup of that last post. The first statement made it feel like a blatant disregard for the purpose of this thread, but then, it took a 180 degree turn and became a compliment! Who would've known?

It's so refreshing that you know the proper spelling of "appreciate." Go you and your mad spelling skills!

Elizabeth, I'm impressed that you used Hester as if it were a first name, instead of just spelling out the entire username. It seemed courteous and friendly.

Oh, I love how you employ British spellings, Mimsies! It makes me feel all Anglo-Saxon. Also, your username reminds me of Jabberwocky.

It was very kind of you to compliment mimisies for her spelling. And I think it is wonderful that you have read/seen Jabberwocky. Lewis Carrol is a brilliant man understood only by the intelligent, which you must be since you clearly have read his work.

Annie, I like that you are open to and appreciate variations in spelling. I also like your name, Annie has been one of my favorite names since I was very young!
Steve, I am impressed with your appreciation of Lewis Carol! It is nice that you affirm the quality of writing by this often misunderstood genius!

Narnia, I love your creative use of an ellipsis in your post. It shows wonderful imagination and complete disregard for the limiting qualities of "correct" punctuation.

I've never seen "zen" used as an adjective, that's very...cool. I also appreciate that this thread was created on April Fool's day.

It was very kind of you to not mock Lara for not noticing that this thread was actually created on March 25, and not April 1.

I love the way you value truth above courtesy. It makes all those friendly people more careful and less annoyingly perky.

I really appreciate out how end sentence fragments with exclamation marks. I've never seen that technique employed before.

I'm so impressed with the way we have now extended the definition of "sentence fragment" to include exclamations, which hitherto had been considered complete sentences with subject and verb understood. Isn't language change wonderful? And we are all part of it! I'm so proud of us!

I'm impressed of your knowledge of idioms and correct usage of punctuation, even if you are a famous author.

Thank you for that last post mimsies. Just mentioning the word "melodious" brings in to my mind the images and sounds of birds chirping on a warm, spring day in the forest.

You are so poetic - you evoked in me my best memories of hearing birds as I'm walking in the forest, so for a moment I actually forgot the cacophony of crows cawing as they pull apart roadkill while I'm walking from my house to the nearest forest.

Oh dear, Mr. Card! Such a subtle ensemble of alliteration I have not seen in a long while. Consider "cacophony of crows cawing" added to my list of all-time favorite alliteraitons!

Ah, the wonder of contemplating miniature cows. Thanks to you, I now have the pleasure of imagining a world in which tiny cows live in casseroles in our kitchen and gave us thimblefuls of fresh, fresh milk. Or we could shake the casseroles and have cream or butter. Or, if we shook them too hard, hamburger.

Mr Card, I love that your jetlag allows you to wander through thoughts of minature cows and share them with us. I am even more joyful over their strange and innovative living arrangments - cows in casseroles - why not!

Verily, it is a rare gift you have, to be able to understand your own sudden inchoate desires and name them so clearly that anyone can understand and share your newfound longing.

Mr. Card, it was very kind of you not to point out that my post didn't really belong here. It makes me feel better knowing that it was read and appreciated even though it was technically irrelevant. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Posts: 1814 | Registered: Jul 2004

Morbo, your observational skills as to the nature of the posts of others are truly second to none.
