I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know! And aren't they just adorable? Guess what part of the next GCS column is going to be about.

I want more military-style jackets with lots of buttons. I don't NEED any more, I know this. But I wants more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I want a new punctuation mark that indicates sarcasm. Also one that indicates "I'm not being sarcastic, really, I mean it!" which I might need more, considering my entire department is trained to assume that anything I say is sarcasm.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want a new punctuation mark that indicates sarcasm. Also one that indicates "I'm not being sarcastic, really, I mean it!"

How would that be different from emoticons?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jilli - I responded to the LJ post for the Great Closet Culling. Did you get that perchance?

Because emoticons aren't functioning as actual punctuation.

Also, they are of the devil. I say this because I've caught them creeping into my e-mail, etc., SURELY typed by fingers other than my own.

SURELY.

I was riffing off the Dinosaur comic Frank linked to. Emoticons aren't punctuation. Is there an emoticon for sarcasm/not sarcasm? Because I'll use it, oh yes.

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

What would it mean if you used a sarcasm mark ironically?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You void the warranty?
