Okay, nothing much today, just a quick joke intended to be enjoyed by english-majoring lovers of vaguely esoteric terminology with really corny senses of humor
( Read more... )
Could be, if you'd like. However, historically I have used this as a funky kind of notebook, secure in the knowledge that no-one reads my drivel anyway.
As an example, I point to some earlier postings, which are nothing more than three pages of quotes.
However, it sounds slightly less sad if it is aimed at the two of you, the only others likely to get a joke based on esoteric verb-tenses.
PS. Jess did get the joke, possibly due to a Lewis Black sketch on on-air censorship ("Fortunately they forgot my favorite, the pluperfect subjunctive. So all you stuffed shirts can just have been having had to bite me."). However, she didn't know what scrod was, and so the joke wasn't funny to her.
Then again, that is what the internet is about, yes? Finding the smallest possible group and catering only to them in an effort to appear genuine, in this case the group being, apparently, former english professors turned fishermen.
