What do you do to celebrate?

Are you really so old you forget the days of sneaking into R movies?
Was the 3 thrust rule in effect then?
I don't think we ever snuck - we usually knew someone at the theatre. Same thing at the bars. Nice to live in a relatively small town.

Why do you say this? Because of the failure to use the possessive form? I can forgive such a grammatical lapse (indeed, almost any grammatical lapse) by a (sexy) man whose head is between my thighs.

It's a top-secret ritual. I'll see what I can do about getting you an invite to this year's festivities; no guarantees, though.

I'm going to have to try that one. You don't mind if I use your move, do you? We all know how mad Jerry was when Putty used his move.

No. It was not grammar-related displeasure I was envisioning.

Should it be "soon-to-be ex-wife" or "soon-to-be-ex wife"?

ETA what does correct have to do with stuff whales eat?

Impure thoughts... Dreams of extraneous and misplaced commas, phrases ended in periods...

That you’re not nuts about doing something does not mean you don’t do it.

Were not liking the same as not doing, I’d have never acquired the “Esq” I can slap on the end of my name (which remains connected to me like a case of Hep C or herpes...).

Beer crash

You people are hopeless. Punctuation, schmunctuation.

In other news...JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Hundreds of looters battled police all weekend at the site of a beer train wreck in violence that left one woman dead, South African police said on Monday as they kept a heavy guard on the remaining alcohol.

The train carrying 180,000 crates of beer from South African Breweries derailed on Friday night near Waterval Boven, 124 miles east of Johannesburg, Superintendent Izak van Zyl said.

By Saturday morning, police were battling up to 200 people from the nearby township trying to make off with crates of beer.

Police handed the site over to railway security staff but were back again on Sunday morning, firing more rubber bullets as looters converged on the train. Officers raided nearby houses, recovered three out of 500 missing cases and arrested six people.

Van Zyl said 20 officers would remain at the site until the overturned wagons and surviving beer crates could be recovered, an operation that could take up to a week.

But by then, the beer will be toast.

Reading this sentence, my participles are dangling in anticipation.
