But there are plenty of superlatives out there. They don't get used up! For some reason, you have me imagining a guy holding my Xbox over a fire yelling "USE A SUPERLATIVE OR THE BOX GETS IT!!"
Kitten... Over use a word and it looses it's power, Words like; epic, awesome and outstanding are used to describe mundane everyday things that are none of these things. The English language is stuffed full of words that can be chosen to fit any situation. A nap for example could be; refreshing, invigorating, pleasant, nice, soothing...but never EPIC.

You sound like my husband! If he catches me typing "lol" I get a lecture. *eye roll*

He he, I like the sound of your husband, a man with standards! As he married you I must surmise despite your deplorable over use of superlatives and tenancy to sleep a lot, you must have much to commend you.
Neither do I...Did, oh yes, and much fun had. These days as I have to drive to get to a pub and I value my license, I kinda got out the habit. Sure don't miss the hangovers.
I'm sure it's not. I am profoundly dyslexic and the intricacies of punctuation is beyond the bounds of my spell check. I do my best though and that is why I kinda expect others to do the same. Wrong of course, you should never judge others by your own standards...I do know to start a sentence with a capital letter though
*sigh* Okay just for you Knight: I had a three hour nap. It was ....refreshing. When I woke up, I felt better than i have in days. Thank you for asking.
Damn that's boring lol Can I throw a "woohoo!" in there??
Top of the morning folks! Dont fold to these guys so fast Kit. I beg to differ that a nap can most certainly be EPIC! Im often epically refreshed after a small power nap. Lolololololol. Ok i kid. On another note, happy day to all the dads!!
@ Church that show chafes my ass. I wanna straight arm dick punch that guy lol.
@ Knight I am AWESOME (see what I did there?) so he puts up with my "imaginary friends" and my casual manner online. And being from Florida, I cannot help but say "dude" and over use superlatives! It's not my fault!
@ Church that was awesome. I think I heard Knight's head explode
@ oldschool yeah. I had a huge fight with them a few years ago that ended with them giving me my own transformer. Had no more problems til this weekend. One more morning wake up call with a power spike and I'm calling the ''head guy" for this area. He regrets giving me his number no doubt lol.
What you expect me to bite? And the point would be? Yeah right.
We get the opposite of spikes, Brown outs are the curse here, I also noticed two telegraph poles had given up the job of trying to hold up the phone lines down my lane, as they have been up since the invention of the telephone and are rotten to their core it's surprising they have lasted as long as they have.
Welcome back Chris, nowt much happened in your absence. Kitten and Gunny have joined in the chit chat, and another couple of pages of inanity have been added. We did knock the ongoing and even more inane bollocks about how great/shite the Xbox one is or isn't off the top slot for a while...That was gratifying.
I haven't been paying much attention to the ongoing XBone & PS4 battles. I'm 90% on the PC nowadays anyways. I can see maybe a PS4 for me down the road (always had PSes), but a new console, reguardless of who makes it, is down the road for me. Got a trip planned for Petit Lemans at Road Atlanta this fall that will be consuming most available funds between now and the end of the year, along w/ the various car projects.....because Corrado.
I have a new shelter to build for the Harleys, hopefully completed this summer...Framed it, need to roof, concrete and then eventually side...one thing at a time...
Yeah new console is down the bottem end of the list for me too, Pc is my main squeeze and while I built it for rF1 and running that with ease on triples, rF2 is pushing it, so I want to upgrade the CPU and Graphics Card before I spend out on another console. Before that the Car has to be got through it's test, that is this week so fingers crossed they done find anything too expensive, and a few days away with Mrs Kinght is on the cards given the car passing.
still ain't correct
Night Church,

It's too damn early for bed anyway. It's Saturday night for gods sake...
Yes Saturday night. Shame I dont drink
On another note he NWN BETA is ending soon.
What happens then?
I also now feel sick after my Feast
Neither do I...Did, oh yes, and much fun had. These days as I have to drive to get to a pub and I value my license, I kinda got out the habit. Sure don't miss the hangovers.
NWN, Beta's over dude. Means nothing in the scheme of things other than a big assed old download next time you log in.
I'm sure it's not. I am profoundly dyslexic and the intricacies of punctuation is beyond the bounds of my spell check. I do my best though and that is why I kinda expect others to do the same.

Oh Church when you awaken, I'm a bit previous NWN is officially out of beta on the 20th. Details of events here http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=895271
*sigh* Okay just for you Knight: I had a three hour nap. It was ....refreshing. When I woke up, I felt better than i have in days. Thank you for asking.

There is much to be said for an exuberant enthusiastic woman...especially when combined with a nap...
Happy D Day Dads!
@ Church that show chafes my ass. I wanna straight arm dick punch that guy lol.
Dude is waaaaaay over used, and I say that as a notive born FLoridian. It chafes my ass to hear it used in Tennessee, (COTTER ARE YOU LISTENING?)
Dude...we have had a power spike every morning at 7:30 the past three days. What the fuck FPL?
Florida Power n Light? One of the greatest power companies in the nation, dudette?
@ Church that was awesome. I think I heard Knight's head explode
