Didn't they teach you about run on sentences when you were becoming an English maestro?

Maybe you need a refresher course; what I wrote is definitely NOT a "run-on sentence." Take it (or not) from the English "maestro"!

Tell me Lehrer, what significant elements are there in the landscape between Abilene and Sweetwater, the geographic equivalent of a Moon Pie and a human wasteland with the intellectual equivalent among the yahoos living there amidst the mesquite bushes on the flat and endless plain of recently dismissed WalMart parking lot attendants let go for demonstrable incompetence. This is a place where a Moon Pie is considered haute cuisine and an RC Cola is treasured for its vintage. As the French lather sauce bearnaise on beefsteak, West Texans lather Del Monte Catsup on Moon Pies so the cultures have something in common.

Now, since I am advised of your origin, here is a new treat for you. Take a small package of Tom´s Peanuts and empty the package into a giant Big Orange Soda. Stick your thumb over the top of the Big Orange and shake the bottle vigorously. Then, partially release your thumb and sqirt the agitated Big Orange with its accompanying peanuts into your mouth. This will be the best meal you ever had in West Texas but you probably already know this.

I think you just proved my point!!! (But we did the peanuts in Coca-Cola. I couldn't imagine ruining Andy Griffith's "Big Orange drank" that way!)

OUCH! Beer

He was right about run on sentences, however. Still, some people confuse verbosity, big words and strung out sentences with real writing skill.

Good one!

But the truth is: You couldn't afford to pay what I'm worth. And I'm starting to think that you aren't the Dawg that you pretend to be.

But you already told us you work for free!

I think we all have to accept that Dawg's writing is more creative than conforming to the rules of the English language. Or for that matter, the rules of common decency or any other statutes. He makes up for it in entertainment value IMO.

BTW, my British friends are adamant in that (and I quote) "you Americans haven't spoken English for years."

I've settled for the Mamut and a Coke...not the same, but after seeing this topic several times, I got that yearning!

To be PC, Mainecoons, your friends are correct: we speak American English!
