| @ JoeGrzzly: really? I use 'em all the time. In fact, my dear Grandmamma used to use them in the bedtime story she read to me nightly, with the exact order of usage: Once upon a TIME, there was a PERSON named Jack who entered a bar to complain about his job. "I can’t handle this stress, YEAR after YEAR (double word score!)...and the WAY my boss rides me all DAY, I can’t take it anymore." "Here’s the THING, MAN," said the barkeep, "That’s just the way the WORLD is. That’s LIFE, you know? Here, take my HAND." This PART of the story gets a little weird, so if you’re a CHILD, you should close one EYE, then the other. Just kidding. Suddenly, a WOMAN walked into the bar. "Eww," she said, "what a disgusting PLACE." "Hey!" exclaimed the barman, "You try running a bar with utter slobs coming in, complaining about WORK, WEEK after WEEK (did it again..)." Just then, Jack, in his haste to ogle at the woman, knocked over his beer. "CASE in POINT," said the barkeeper. "Say, who are ya, anyway, missy? Youse from the health department? Damn GOVERNMENT interfering with my affairs..." "No," she said, "I’m from a dictionary COMPANY that, among other things, catalogues and lists the most commonly used words. Actually, we have used a NUMBER of words from the noun GROUP in this very conversation." "Wow," said Jack, "this has turned into one boring-ass story." "Is that going to be a PROBLEM?" asked the lady. "As a matter of FACT, yes," affirmed Jack. "Please let this be the end." Needless to say, my Grandmamma hated me. Also, I dunno why the barkeeper gained a tough philly accent mid-way through. |
