I had to think about that one. Now I hate you.
It’s taken until now? 🤔😁
Nah. It just goes on the list.
let a little of the hate spill over on marquis who was too lazy to bother with the shift key or punctuation marks
I don’t know. I’ll have to think about it.
Now, that’s not true. It was only that Archy couldn’t hit two keys at once. At one point, he did engage the shift-lock key, and then did everything in all Caps. When Marquis wrote about Archy and Mehitabel, he capitalized appropriately.
Edited to add: Archy sounds like a few of our members. I wonder… Could they be?
I was introduced to Archy and Mehitabel by a high school English teacher. I think it is the only book from high school that I still have.
Yes, several are that smart. I’m sure that’s what you meant, right?
I was thinking small, but whatever.
If everyone is thinking the same thing, no one is thinking
Very true. Do you know what I’m thinking?
Glenlivet on the rocks?
I think that one is normally attributed to George Patton.
No, but I like the way you think.
““If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; But if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.”
Brilliant…and applies to those “progressives” who have bumper stickers about their Open Minds while ensuring that their opinions conform to those expected in their social and professional circles.
I definitely plagiarized
