  • The Devil makes work of idle hands. Since I'd been unemployed for over a year, I figured it was just a matter of time before he showed up. He was wearing a $4000 silk suit

    What should be the punishment for not finishing on the tenth fold? 100 lashes? Banishment from the kingdom?

    Nahhhh... The FS community is very forgiving. We all mess up from time to time. Takes a little time to get the hang of this.

    It makes sense even by itself, though. It's just missing punctuation! Perhaps "he" has an amputated hand collection, and "I" sends their amputated hand over with a beer so all the amputated hands can chat. : D

    Ah, perhaps I am just a bit unforgiving in my dotage. It would be nice if we had a grace period, say of 90 seconds, to correct our own misses if we catch them. Oh Great Moderator in the sky, if you hear the humble petitions of your lowly servant...

    Preseason NBA? I'm a pretty big basketball fan, and even I avoid preseason. Well, mostly avoid it. On occasion. When Russell Westbrook's not playing. I bet amputated hands have some pretty epic sign language conversations, most of them about how lame phantom body syndrome is. Or thumb wars or manicures or something.

    Good thing I didn't go with "pre-season WNBA". Now that admission...

    It's OK, this is a safe place. Still... that would be pretty funny.
