I thought he was just being an intentionally annoying, tongue-in-cheek smart arse but it starting to look like he's serious.
But then Hassan has already told me I am something that comes out the end of a penis so I guess the hate was there already.
No, my love, you're not something that comes out of the end of a penis.
You're something that accrues around the end of a penis if you don't pay attention to your personal hygiene. Knobcheese can have many sources: semen must be one of the most significant components, granted, but urine, sweat, lint and chip fat can all play a part too.
So I'm told (circumcised.)
And yeah, it's OK to use two commas, I'm being a knobcheese. I'm objecting to
"Chester's dog, Bob is smarter than midwinter's dog, Molly."
I hate that.
"Chester's dog, Bob, is smarter than midwinter's dog, Molly."
That's fine.
Poor Molly.
Hey, trailmaster, reading is fun and impresses girls!

I thought you were going to say I was like a freshly bloomed rose, bespattered with diamond dewdrops sparkling in the warm light of dawn.

GAH! A COMMA SPLICE!!! ". . . it's OK to use two commas; I'm being a knobcheese." is correct. Now Hassan, I know y'all Brits talk funny and all, but I know you have semicolons over there. Maybe look inside one of your castles.

The first is an error. The second is a correctly constructed appositive.
So you say, but have we ever seen documentary evidence?
At this time I'd like to formally apologize to the entirety of AppleInsider, if not the internet at large, for encouraging Chester to post pictures of her dog's penis.
I would also like to personally apologize to Midwinter, for having at his grammar thread, doggie style.

Ah. Yes. Well. That was intentional, actually. I was attempting to convey a sort of conversational tone, employing a deliberately insouciant grammatical caprice, if you will, la de da.

Yes.
Crazychester is as fragrant as a morning dozing in the shade of the catalpa tree, jasmine blossom drifting on the west wind like etc.
So midwinter, since you're using your Saturdays to freelance on the internet, I've got two questions for you.
1. I've seen newspapers omit the last comma before the 'and' in a list, like "crazychester is a scoundrel, a cretin and a knobcheese." It drives me crazy. Am I wrong to be driven by crazy by this?
2. I was corrected recently when someone asked "how are you doing?" and I responded "good." They said "well" is the only appropriate answer. Needless to say, I pulled his tongue out with a pair of pliers. But was he right?

That is called the "serial comma." To put it shortly, the usage pattern, which leads to the rule, is changing. I retain it, but I'm old school. In other words, you are not wrong to be driven crazy by this.

He was, in fact, correct. "Good" is an adjective, which is used to describe nouns. "Well" is an adverb, which is used to modify verbs. And since the question is "how are you doing?" the answer is "well," since you are describing how you "do," which is a verb.
That'll be $5 or an answer to this question:
Assuming that there is such a thing as the Oedipal phase, would a child in a same-sex family (say, two men) go through it? I've asked three psychologists and gotten three different answers.

you adults have fun.
Maybe his shift and apostrophe keys are broken.

Careful laddy. Fun's fun, but there are places you don't want to go.

Like CC's bedroom.
Black hole of disorganization in which nothing, including Bob, can escape-- or temporal nexus where all your dreams become reality?

It has to be one or the other?

Depends whether you're offering to wash my undies for me or not.

Unless Bob is part of your dreams!
Which, uh, I didn't know about you, but I suppose that's par for the course for left-coasters.

Myself, I swing Doodle-wards, which has less to do with left-coastedness than an unfortunate incident with an ottoman during my formative years.
Don't tell Bob or Molly.
