Curmudgeonly cynics of the Lounge check in here!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Today I am most definitely feeling like a curmudgeon. I'm never really your effusive, fuzzy soul (unless you're my kitty :D), but right now I feel like a hag. Perusing the laconic The Elements of Style isn't helping, either.

:evilgrin:

Pah on you!

:P :P

:hi:

1. Hmph...no one's going to show up to this thread.

And balderdash!

Checking in. x(

3. Most everything you hear..

... from the younger generation is a pantload without the benefit of depends. :)

4. If you're studying The Elements of Style...

You have my heartfelt sympathy. That book makes me feel like such a loser.

[rug]

5. It's that annoying girl again.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Ay YO!

You know how I do...

[qnr]

7. Yeah, right.

Whatever you say.

:hi:

8. Bah, humbug

The world is going to hell in a handbasket and always has been and always will be...it's a pity that Noah didn't torpedo the Ark...let's give it back to the Indians, if they'll take it...I hate Tom Hanks, Frank Capra, Charlie Chaplin, Garrison Keillor, and all things nice...things have never been the same since the Depression ended...and I miss the Cold War. Oh--and the only legitimate use for *The Elements of Style* is for toilet paper...and I pretty much mean that one... Anything I've left out?

11. OMG, you nailed it...

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm feeling rather like a dominatrix tonight. If I can't have love or good sex, then why not use my feminine wiles to torture someone who likes it that way.

15. I volunteer....

But just for one night...

And then I get the remote back....

9. Hi wimr!

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

10. Feeling rather curmudgeonly here myself tonight.

I'm sort of in a funk. Never the most optimistic person to begin with, but when misery strikes for the trillionth time, it gets really old really quick. Bah humbug. Screw her anyway. She would have just broken my heart later instead of now anyhow.

12. Peruse this instead

Much more entertaining.

14. Walsh is a funny guy

He also wrote "Lapsing Into a Comma," which I have on my nearest shelf.

He's a frequent poster at Testy Copy Editors.

16. Elements of Style?

I think I have that. Little purple book?

And while I'm normally cynical, I'm afraid I can't help you much tonight. Too tired, and I'm in a happy mood.

Although, here's something for you to think about...

Someone, somewhere, is so fucked up that they're masturbating to a photo of Bush.
