    Nope. Admin's can't stealth edit their own posts.

    (But I can stealth edit yours, let's agree to edit each others. :))

    What'd I'd like to know, is where you got the 'c' from for 'much'.

    You jovial bad ass! Go vanish pig jam! Hay bus, fuj pak ass!

    That's the best I can do.

    I thought better of you, DU. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    If you really wanted to write phonetically, you'd be better off with the phonetical symbols, not random diaereses and accents.

    I should go back and fix that extra 'o' in 'too'. I don't usually make spelling mistakes like that.

    If I knew that, I wouldn't have asked you what you were trying to say.

    Bunny, was that a V4V reference? Oh, and the reason I can read such words without any problem is that, first and foremost, I was raised with a grammar teacher for a step-mother, and she instilled the ability to spell in me, and so I rarely make spelling mistakes (that I don't notice immediately). Secondly, I'm dyslexic. I can't write backwards like some of'em, but I can read backwards, and upside down, and all sorts of ways without realizing that the letters are messed up. Oh! And if you really want to hear something entertaining, talk to me late at night sometime, and I'll swap whole parts of words... It's impressive. I can't think of any examples now, but I'll do things like this:
    Should be: "I am way too tired for this."
    Spoken as: "I wam aay too tired for this."
    I actually'ven't literally done that one, but that's an example of how I make mistakes when speaking.

    I get the upside-down and backwards stuff automatically as well. As for the phonetical switch ups, that sounds like stuff people catch me doing when I've been up all night. I didn't have the grammar teacher step-mom, but my mom was a secretary and also taught speech and reading courses to kids with developmental disabilities.

    I haven't even opened my mouth. On the subject. You meant Silvara, right? Did you see her wearing my clothes? Silvara, did you steal my green cloak again? Why, the red one suits you better, and this is the only item of clothing I have! :cry:

    I didn't steal your cloak *hugs her preciousss red cloak*
    Maybe DarkFool's daltonic or something? Oh, and no idea what "V4V" is. It was a 1984 reference, actually.

    I'm assuming that it means V for Vendetta, I've just seen the movie and it pales in comparison to the original comic mini-series.

    Isn't it always that way? Can't the movie-makers just accept the fact that they can't make the movie as good as the comic? It's not even worth trying.

    Movies are restricted in two ways:

    1. Time, a movie only goes for a few hours and inside of this time frame it must tell the whole story, a comic arc can span several years, while at the same time drawing on decades of backstory.

    2. Budget, in a movie you can only shoot so many scenes and most of the budget is liable to be spent on a big finale scene. In a comic the artist gets paid the same amount to draw an explosion as a guy in a chair.

    Yes, but one movie can have the same budget as it would cost to make fifty years of comic books. They should try to put more work into the whole movie as opposed to making one big boom and a lame crack about it.

    Speaking of wich, did you guys know that they're turning HL into a movie? If it isn't good, better, best, I'll fucking kill the lot of them movie-makers. A game that awsome needs a movie as awsome, if anything.

    Oh, and the rumored director is Quentin Tarantino (no shit).
