The Book of Don't

[Orbweaver]

Mickey or Paynesgrey, you might want to ask Shecky to take a quick look at the content involved in the first post of the thread. I noticed a few spelling and grammatical errors that could be corrected without a lot of muss & fuss... not the least of which is that in the first quotation block, Ashton's name was spelled Asthon.

I allow PG these peccadillos without raining holy nuclear fire on him because he's a carrier of the Snark. Plus, he knows better.

Indeed, other than the odd typographical error, the abominations I work upon the English language are usually intentional.  I like holding a language down and doing unkind things until it cries.  My inner child never grew out of that ants-magnifying glass stage, I fear.

A peccadillo's like an armadillo, but doesn't run as fast and is easier to cook.

And they're entertaining when properly decorated.

Well, once the sedatives wear off.

I thought a peccadillo was 8 quarts of armadillos...

[Paynesgrey]

Regional language and dialect issues apply.  In some parts of the panhandle, it would indeed refer to 8 quarts of armadillos, but only if they were freshly pressed.

I feel so at home here.

Some of the pressing juice must be reserved for return to the peccadillo if it's intended for shipping.

They do inflate well enough, although some unscrupulous vendors will just use a mixture of old cooking oil and some chicken broth.

Only the most discerning connoisseur can detect the substitution, unfortunately, as the natural bouquet of the peccadillo is quite exuberant on the nose and palate. Still, for non-vintage peccadillo, the old oil-and-broth is actually a boon, reviving the mouthfeel and extending the finish pleasantly.

Sounds..........yummy?
