the weirdo’s apostrophe
almost as bad as the oxford comma
I, know right!
I learned about the Oxford comma from my parents, Ayn Rand and God.
It didn't seem like it at the time but I had a very strange upbringing.
In my first year of university, I had an English professor who went on a long rant about people using apostrophes incorrectly. They said they once had a student put an apostrophe in the word "as", presumably because the s looked lonely. They said these are the people who are gonna be working at the grocery store, writing signs saying "apple's 50% off"
Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Yes Brain, but where are we going to find a pink wet suit our size?
What's the number, OP
078███████
0118 999 881 999 119 7253
You do not recognize the weirdo's in the pink suits
Where does one obtain a pink wetsuit? Do scuba divers have a choice of colours?
Well, apparently someone did, and he picked one up for just such an occasion.
It would be great if the current GOAT bagpiper (I mean, I don't know who he is, but there must be one) dressed in a pink wetsuit, and posted a performance on YouTube, without saying a word. People be scratchin' their heads...
That's a British mobile number
...in a cubicle!
What is "playing the bigpipes"?
Finding someone that can play the bagpipes is going to be the hard part.
