11. I have no idea.
I have been following along after everything has happened and I can't figure it out. I know a "couple" of people left and I guess a few were banned? I don't know how I can spend so much time here and NEVER know what is going on.

36. As I understand it,
there was some nasty fun made of someone who posts here.

That someone took umbrage and then sort of flipped out, recounting psychiatric history as a way of making sure the slime who were making fun felt good and guilty.

I get the sense that didn't work.

Then people took up with the aggrieved poster.

Others defended free speech and the power of not reading things that suck.

Still others went and got popcorn and just watched.

Some, I'm told, were moved to make donations to the ACLU.

Others, as I understand it, bid for rosaries on eBay, and did silly dances when they won.

There was an outpouring of shared experiences.

Tears were shed.

Some mopped up, others just sat in their damp puddles, lamenting days gone by, sins committed.

Me, I was looking forward to the sins I've yet to commit. So far, of the Ten Commandments, I've got two left to complete my scorecard. I'm not big on killing, and I've yet to see a neighbor's wife whom I covet, although they do have a nice budgie.

After that, there were purges and bodies were strewn everywhere.

Women shrieked, men wailed, children trembled, dogs peed themselves.

But, really, I'm not sure of any of this, except for the rosary part.

42. Why, thank you
I thank you.

My agent thanks you.

My publisher (HarperCollins - YES, I TAKE $$$ FROM RUPERT MURDOCH) - thanks you.

My fans thank you.

My dog is ignoring all of this, but the budgie, I'm sure, would be thanking you, too, if it were sentient.

49. Been there, done that
Years as a litigator are the same as street performing standup, don't you think?

(For what it's worth, my editor at HC once said that she dreamed of stacking plates on my head to keep my feet on the ground.........)

That leads to a steady downfall in grammar and logic.
