    Considering you're on record posting pace, I'm shocked you don't need the extra help. :p

    That just does not sound right though.

    "would have fit into the movies that well" sounds right
    "would have fitted into the movies that well" sounds weird

    You guys are more gramatically sound than I am, so I'll leave that up to you.

    Actually I do, with all the bad storms we had, I am pretty busy.

    Believe it or not, I actually spend about 4-5 hours a day driving all around Houston looking at property. I guess I deligate well. :p

    I actually lost my one employee the other day due to an ...ummm ....accident he had while going to the bathroom (he injured his back taking a #2 ....I AM NOT KIDDING!!!!).

    Is that grounds for an on the job injury????

    Sounds like Worker's Compensation to me.

    Too bad someone's already killed you 3 times, you misspelled delegate.

    Having the worst speller point that out must be a killer to your ego :p

    Ego? What is that? I am married. The ego went out the window after I said "I do". :p

    Given my quantity of posts (as you like to point out every chance you get), plus the fact that I can type something like, 100 words a minute, not to mention the fact that I am too dependent on spell check (I do not proofread my own stuff), I am suprised I was not the first one eliminated. I am a recipe for disaster. :cool:

    LOL!

    Every married guy on the board just said " I know thats right" to that statement...ego indeed...;)

    Whats the status on abbreviations? Especially on poster's names...? If it qualifies, here's a neat one that no one seems to have noticed...


    Come on, someone tell me this is valid, I have no kills yet..:D

    Argh damn!!! :mad:

    My whole friggin' life I've been using that spelling and not one English teacher ever bothered to correct it.

    I was going to call AB on billard but it's from a French word.

    In that thread, Manny repeatedly uses the term "Cane envy." If he wanted to make a contraction of Hurricane, shouldn't there be an apostrophe? As in, 'Cane envy?

    Also, Chance uses the word "re-rott-ed," which obviously wasn't intended as a serious word, but I don't know if it counts as a misspelling for the purposes of this game.

    So I'm not claiming a kill on either of these - unless one or both are deemed kill-worthy by the powers that be. :)

    the singular version of the OSU team would be a Buckeye...the plural would be the Buckeyes...no ' necessary

    sorry dude....I believe that is a corpse-making mistake... :D
