I would be there right now.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I do know some govies who tend to leave out the nouns when they speak.
Adverbs used to be expensive, but they are now made in bulk in Indonesia and cost almost nothing.
But due to the Buy America Act, we have to source ours domestically. Like that one; it came from a job-creating small business in Maryland.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's so hard to get the really good adverbs from domestic sources, though. I'm hoping that we'll get something like the artisanal adjective movement that took off a few years ago. I've hears that some people are doing DIY prepositions.

I prefer my adverbs to come from the ancient Adverb Forest that grows on the banks of the River Avon. It's the only place to get the really pure, English adverbs. Though I must admit that some of the adverbs English has snitched off the other languages can be . . . very sprightly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can get some great adverbs from Brooklyn now.

Some very exuberant verbs, too.

Connie, I can totally see the appeal, but I've heard that those adverbs are being over-harvested.
Jesse, you can, but they're all really cool, and we wouldn't have heard of them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Artisanal adverbs.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, exactly. I mean, I was using them years ago, but...
