But unlike graham crackers, Kells had to taste pretty darn awful. After all, these are monks, and they need to make themselves suffer on every front.

While Kellogg's is named after Kells, the more direct descendent of the original Kells is corrugated cardboard, renowned for its unappetizing properties and dependability as a packaging material. While generally considered less than palatable, it helped many inhabitants of Leningrad get in touch with their vaunted Russian spirituality in the mid 20th century. Ironically enough, Kellogg's was among the first cereals to be packaged in the material derived from the ancient Kells.

A public private message. Interesting.

Just chalk it up as another unintended use of General, I suppose. Very versatile forum, this.

By the way, who the heck is muesli and where the heck did he go and what the heck is forgiven? If you'll excuse the crass series of inquiries into what is apparently a private matter.

I can understand painstakingly creating a visually rich manuscript cataloguing famous breakfast cereal boxes, praying to breakfast cereal, and even worshipping breakfast cereal…

But sending a public private message to breakfast cereal on a message board devoted to a shareware firm's fantasy RPG games, and in a forum specifically devoted to general discussion of the company and products?

I'm sorry, but that's just absurd.

Affirmative, indeed. Cushioning your posts to alter them additionally drawn-out can be amusive. What's additionally to a greater extent amusive is using the OpenOffice.org Writer synonym finder to modify every language unit you can.

I propose a new filter for Spiderweb. Henceforth all posts shall be processed by iSMRT before appearing on the forums. Think of how intelligent we can be then!

—Alorael, who actually has moderately low expectations for noticeable change. Some posts already seem iSMRT processed sometimes.

As I ponder that, one must be forced to cogitate the reasonings penultimate to freeing a software singularly directed upon the grouping that includes elppA owners. Again that Windows keyboard pounders are having zero end user products which assist with alternative idion expressiveness. Distraught.

What the hell are you people talking about?

EDIT: Oh. Okay. I just figured it out. You're mocking me. Well, my reply to that is:

quote:
[b]"I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different. I do not reiterate, repeat, reinstate the same thing over and over again. I am clear, concise, to the point!"

"Excuse me sir, but can you direct me to the location of where I can locate some eggs for I would like to purchase them so that I can take them home with me and I can eat them today. "

"One egg left?! For a nutritious breakfast, two eggs is the minimum requirement! And I have but one, which is one shy of two! And it is two that I need! Curses! I must immediately purchase some eggs, for I need to have breakfast. And without the eggs, I cannot have the breakfast that I shall require!"

"I swear that today is the day that I will develop a plan so diabolical and evil that I will crush the Powerpuff Girls. But first... I must attend to the dishes that I have soiled with the food that I have eaten."
[/b]

——————————

quote:
[b]"It matters not one whit, time is not pressing on me fortunately. Now some information please. This afternoon I have to visit the town for sundry purposes which would be of no interest to you I am quite sure, but nevertheless I shall require your aid in getting for me some sort of transport, some hired vehicle, that is, to get me to my first port of call."

"I have a rendezvous at five o'clock at this address which I must reach from the Post Office in Queen's Square, so as the map is sadly inadequate I would be very grateful if you could draw me a diagram of the optimum route?"
[/b]

——————————

Seriously, though, I really do talk like this. You'd discover that for yourself if you ever had the opportunity to meet me in person. I read too much.

Besides, I've always felt that elaborate speech full of colorful expressions and pleasant words is far more interesting than cobbling together a sentence with just the bare bones necessary to communicate your thoughts. English is such a marvellous language; it's a crime we don't use it to its fullest potential.

I did not intend mockery, but merely to point out that responses like 'this is absurd' were what my "1" was born for.

I didn't intend mockery either, I was agreeing with Alex via actions.

It's not about how you say it, it's about getting your message across. If talking like that gets your message across, then go for it.

I don't mind being mocked — so long as it's nicely phrased! :P
