I am not sure why the lord of terror would wish someone as pure and innocent as me a happy birthday, but he too is welcome all the same.
My 31st birthday party was pretty much the same as my 13th, except for the drugs, booze and prostitutes. .. I didn't have any of that this time (damned recession!).

Spoiler AlertI still hate that smiley anyway.
..and i think you know you could be fooling me here, since i'm not really into shooters, but i guess i'll just have to take your word for whatever you are implying about Duke Nukem....

..and i bow down to your incredible gaming knowldege. You are like a walking encycopledia of PC games...
Spoiler Alert...but i STILL don't like her! She's vulgar, as strippers are wont to be, i guess... Oh, well, maybe it would have been different if i was a male, huh?

Hope you had a Very Happy 31st, Mr. Innocent.
But sorry to hear about the ravages of recession. We all need a little vulgar debauchery in our lives from time to time.
Cheers, Terry

Allow me to take this opportunity to clear up a slight misunderstanding. It's Mr Innocent. It's not a contraction, Mr is my first name.

Ah, a female acquaintance once told me the very same thing after a shared drunken binge. She was sadly unwilling to engage in more intimate debauchery with me, but I have always regarded them as words of wisdom.

ROFL



Just keep in mind that my first name is Trav, and my last name is Eller. I was a bit drunk on the day i joined and forgot to separate the two.

Btw, the grammar monster disagrees with our notion of the appropriate use of periods in contractions. I must admit, I never knew that rule.

The rule explained on this page is not a hard and fast rule. All contractions used to be followed by full stops. However, nowadays, the rule outlined on this page is widely accepted.
The rule is logical, and it provides clear guidance on what to do. Unfortunately, it's not well observed, particularly in the US where all contractions tend to attract periods/full stops. These days, you can pretty much do what you want at the end of a contraction, and no one will mark you down for it. That said, it's worth knowing the rule as it allows you to include or exclude periods/full stops with confidence. This rule needs reviving. Writing "Para. 1 and Paras 4-6" and knowing precisely why — how great is that?
