There's No Place Like Home... There's No Place Like Home...

[Mary Loquacious]

Cats and kittens, I've truly missed MoFo.

So, here's my question: Can I... maybe come over... and hang out with you guys sometime? Maybe... talk about movies and such?

Mary Lo hangs her head, swaying a bit, and digs her left big toe in the dirt. If you can't picture this in your head, let me assure you: it's g*ddamn adorable.

Pleeeeease? :bashful:

[Aniko]

http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/cat3.gif

MaryLo!!! Yes, of course you can! It's great to see you've wandered back home. :yup:

Come on in...have a cup of tea...a glass of wine...a saucer of milk...anything you want.

You were another reason I initially joined here. You made me laugh. Where have you been?!

[Mary Loquacious]

Thanks, Ani! It's damn good to see some familiar faces--and I look forward to meeting all the people I've missed meeting in the last year.

Where've I been...

Well, the Reader's Digest version:

This last year I finished my thesis, and I graduated with my MFA--so now I am a certified MuthaF*ckin'A*shole. :P And this summer I've been interning at a publishing company as a copyeditor/proofreader/ whatever, and I've been doing freelance work for them as a copywriter. It's not the most interesting stuff I've ever written, but it keeps me in ramen noodles and cocaine.

My daughter, Selena, has just lost the second of her front teeth, so she's more adorable than ever--and getting ready to start 1st grade. And my husband, Troy? Well, he's still got diarrhea (Spud and Yoda should appreciate that lil' update).

And that's about it. :D

[MyRobotSuit]

Hello to you!

My greetings are aimed quite vigorously at your noble noggin!

I am pleased to meet you I'm sure!


:king:

[Caitlyn]

Hi MaryLo… welcome back… :D I think you went missing about the same time I showed up on here and I’d love to see you hang out again… Testosterone levels can get a little high in here once in a while… ;D

[Yoda]

Just wait 'til Gummly hears about this.

[Mary Loquacious]

In my best, which is to say, approximate Jack-as-the-Joker voice:

Wait'll Gummly gets a load of me...

Chris, how the hell are you? Damn, I've missed you guys. :D


Testosterone levels can get a little high in here once in a while… ;D


Cripes, I remember! :D So it's still like that, eh?

And thanks for the lovely intro, MinionTV. :) I've often thought my noggin might be noble, but it's good to have a second opinion. :yup:

We've missed you just as much. We've had a spurt of new MoFos, and so far, they're everything I've ever dreamed of! I can just feel the legendary moments now, like the potato salad incident. I can't help but smile when I think about it! ;D

[Mary Loquacious]

We've missed you just as much.


Thanks, babe. :)

I can just feel the legendary moments now, like the potato salad incident. I can't help but smile when I think about it! ;D

:confused: I don't remember this potato salad thing... I swear, I never did nothing with no potato salad...

Okay, okay. Maybe I did, but that's between me and my personal deity. ;)

[Yoda]

Chris, how the hell are you? Damn, I've missed you guys. :DI'm good. Damn good. Thanks for asking.Cripes, I remember! :D So it's still like that, eh?Shaddup. You know you like it.

[Golgot]

I'm afraid i stole your personal deity when you were concentrating on whistling last Tuesday. [If you look i think you'll find the small rubber buddha i substituted in its place - it's purple, i hope that's alright]. You can have it/her/him/* back if you absolutely promise to take regular testosterone injections and join in in the wreckless too-and-fro between day-glo ego-MoFos like meself. ;)

I read many of your previous posts. Thank you for returning from your ghost sojourn in the real world.

Now, i'm off to weight-train and get burly...

[Mary Loquacious]

Shaddup. You know you like it.

Yes.

Yes.

[Golgot]

Yes

That means no doesn't it!

I know my women

[they're all in a small shack out the back. Tho i'm not actually sure what that one with the limp is called]

[Mary Loquacious]

Yes.

Her name is Mildred Crumbthimble.

Whatever you say... ;D

Anywho, you've got some catching up to do. I don't think you were here for Slaytan, or Aniko or Cait or n7of9. If not, you must meet them. Some of the coolest MoFos 'round. I won't mention too much of Django, for he's almost as annoying as he is entertaining. Pretty much any debate thread will tell you all you need to know about him. Hope you're back to stay.

[Golgot]

Her name is Mildred Crumbthimble.

She's your woman too?? Right, i might have to start posturing! ;)

[Mary Loquacious]

Whatever you say... ;D

Ah, poopies. Now I have to know what it was. It must've been while I was drunk.

I remember Slaytan and Ani and, I'm pretty sure, Cait. And I've been reading of this Django fella--sounds like WriterDirect with more attitude. Should be fun. ;D

I'm planning to stay awhile. That last time it wasn't even me--it was this clone that the government replaced me with while they held me for questioning. And when I say "questioning," I mean torturing and brainwashing. They made me watch From Justin to Kelly again and again... but I'm not affected. I swear. :D

She's your woman too??

She was mine first.

[Piddzilla]

Hey, I missed you too!! Who are you??

[Gracie]

Not you? Well, if you're half as funny as your clone, then you should fit in just fine. We're all cocky SOB's who love to joke around. Speaking of jokes, the old multi-username trick doesn't work. :(

[Mary Loquacious]

Hey, I missed you too!!

Thanks--I left around the time you came here, I think. :yup: But it wasn't because of you. Don't ever think that.

Who are you??

With an opening like that, the possibilities are endless:

I am the piss in your cornflakes... the cat who ate your canary... the Champagne of Beers... the one that got away... the A-list star in your otherwise shabby indie film... the bamboo shoots under your fingernails... the nicotine in your Camel Turkish Golds... the chocolate in your peanut butter... the Easter Egg on your new DVD... the one who put the "bop" in the bop-shoo-bop-shoo-bop (but I've yet to put the "ram" in the ramma-lamma-ding-dong)...

All this, and much, much more! Order today!

Sorry, no CODs.

Are you going to come out with a dance mix of you? What about Mary-Lo's, the crunchy cheese snack? :laugh:

[Mary Loquacious]

All this for the low, low price of your first-born child for the first minute, and $149.99 for each additional minute. And I'm cutting me own throat on this, mind you.

It ain't just a deal--it's a steal. ;D

Can I put a down payment on it? I'll get the money to you, I swear!

And lower Gracie sank into the life-ruining stages that happens during the usage of Mary-Lo products. She ground up the crunchy snacks and sold them by the pound, and on one occasion tried to smoke a Mary-Lo Cheezy-Poof. Her life had gone downhill.

It's no wonder you own salt mines. Mary-Lo's Salty Cajun Puffs are indeed salty. Might as well eat plain salt, like I used to. I used to eat paper, too. Maybe Mary-Lo, Inc. can start making barbeque-flavoured paper. I can see it now! "I did my homework, honest! But my big brother ate it..."

Hello! I indicate!

[Austruck]

Django isn't really WriterDirect with more attitude. He's WriterDirect with a spell-checker.

Other than that, welcome back. Just what this place (or any place) needs: another proofreader. ;)

Welcome, welcome. And welcome to the wonderful world of the over-qualified, underpaid behind-the-scenes workers!

Linda
Proofreader to the Starz®

[Mary Loquacious]

Hello! I indicate!

Look. We sodomized you and put you in the salt mines already--don't ask for more than Mary Loquacious, Inc., is willing to give.

Now that that's taken care of... :D

Linda, I'd forgotten that you, too, are a proofreader--we should compare notes... and then plot strategems... and then take over the world! It would be great--a nation with no mistakes. ;D

[Golgot]

theirs know plaice four aural miss-takes hear!

[Monkeypunch]

Welcome back! (can't think of anything funny or cute to say here so make something up and pretend I said it.... :D )

[Mary Loquacious]

Monkey Man, it's good to see you. I was hoping you'd still be around--who else can I talk punk rock and Buffy with? :D

Of course, that being said, I've been gone awhile, and for all I know there're lots of punks and Buffy fans running around the site. We may have to dust off the ol' Buffy thread and see who shakes loose...

[r3port3r66]

Well welcome back whoever you are. Seems your emeritus status has given you a warm welcome. I think you may have bowed out around here just as I signed up. Anyway, it's nice to meet you and it's sure nice to see MoFos that aren't posting as much anymore coming out of the shadows to greet you!

[Mary Loquacious]

I remember you, r3port3r66--you had a Ghost Ship avatar back then. Thanks for the welcome back, and rock on to your Dead Alive avatar!

"I kick ass for the Lord!"

Whoa--that is one cool Smilie. Chris, I wish to have access to that Smilie... :yup:

A proofreader-run world would be a beautiful place. All grammatically clean and new--of course we would have to "edit" all communications to reflect this beauty. And possibly "kill" any who violate the laws of correct-speak.

r66: What?

CSP: Um... Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes.

r66: Wait a minute... I didn't enter any contest. You're that clever shark, aren't you?

And so on.

Golgot, don't think I've forgotten about you, although I'm not technically sure that even Grammatica would be able to legally punish Britons for mangling the English language. It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel. :D

[moviefan20]

Hey, i am not sure if i know you, i have only been on here for a year, but anyways i am sure looking forward to getting to know ya. Congrats on getting you MFA!! :)

[Mary Loquacious]

Hey, i am not sure if i know you, i have only been on here for a year, but anyways i am sure looking forward to getting to know ya.

It's another case of me leaving around the time you came in--you had a bunch of avatars I remember (most especially Stitch, which was so damn cute!). It's funny, remembering the avatars; I'm usually better with faces than with names out in the "real world," which as Morpheus has informed us in the one that has been "pulled over our eyes."

Congrats on getting you MFA!! :)

Thank you! It feels pretty damn good. I worked my a*s off for it. :yup:

You should all speak American, the way we do in America. ;D

Thank you, Professor Higgins. Now shut yer cake-hole.

[Golgot]

We're still waiting for Dick Van Dyke to come and play panto here so we can beat the **** out of him for that atrocious accent in Mary Poppins. And show him our teeth.

(what's with the teeth stereotype you guys have about us?? I've never understood it. If i had the technology i'd post a picture of my teeth and we could have an international teeth-comparing-thread. I really haven't noticed any calcium deficiences or deaths from scurvy over here recently. All very bizarre.)

EDIT: Must say tho, when i tagged along on one of me pa's business trips when i was 12 to your state-useque land i did enjoy being able to say what i wanted and no-one being able to understand me (except when i needed the "loo" - then it was annoying)

[r3port3r66]

[Austruck]

Mary, if our local news station still exists, there will still be mistakes. This is the station that had "Venue" on its screen spelled as "Venire." Can't explain that one, except that perhaps someone may have hand-written it in cursive and someone else misread it and transcribed it as "ir" instead of a "u."

This is also the station that was showing a clip of some building in Mississippi that actually had "Mississippi" on the front of the building, and yet had "Mississippi" misspelled at the bottom of the screen. Didn't everyone on the planet have to learn that obnoxious song mnemonic for spelling Mississippi?

Don't get me started.

Too late. :rolleyes: I walk around pissed that I have to buy a new dictionary every time they add a new word based on everyone misspelling something for so long that they give up and just add it in.

Don't. Get. Me. Started. Geez, I need some hobbies.

[r3port3r66]

Austruck, you're points make alot of sence. I'm often appaled by the lack that no reporters check thier grammer mistakes. Just appaled. Without my editor, I wouldn't have been the sucess I are.

YES. Teeth gritted, butt clenched, knuckles white.

The your/you're thing is one of my pet peeves. And its/it's. And loose/lose. And alot/a lot. And alright. And adding apostrophes to simple plurals.

I've already lost the anymore/any more battle. That one's now official. Gahhhh...

I am going to jump in here and add my bit...

I am a copywriter and graphic designer. Part of my job when I was first in traineeship (many years ago) was to proof everything that came back as artwork - so I also know the horror of the red pencil!!

Today I run my own business and I HATE it when something I have written comes back from a client with changes to it that are grammatically incorrect. On one hand, I am obliged to keep them happy and make their changes because they are paying me a ****load to do so. On the other, I can't stand the thought that someone will read it and think I wrote it that way!

AAAAAAGH! R66, Austruck, Mary Lo - I am so glad to have some company here who share the pain!

[r3port3r66]

AAAAAAGH! R66, Austruck, Mary Lo - I am so glad to have some company here who share the pain!

So you're the one responsible for spelling "light" as L-I-T-E. Or "right" as R-I-T-E. :laugh:

I saw a commercial less than a week ago, I'd say, that had "Were" instead of "We're" in it's SLOGAN. We're talking about a graphic in a television commercial bearing the joint's slogan. I can understand the occasional typo on a 24/7 news channel, maybe, but this? Eh...

Yeah - it makes you wonder what kind of long lunch and what kind of drugs the creative director and account reps were having the day they had to sign off on the final!!

I've seen some horror stuff. Once I was checking proofs at a printer and I saw someone else's stuff on the presses churning away. There was a huge glaring typo in the headline. I pointed it out to the printer who shrugged his shoulders and said that he had noticed it but it wasn't his problem since the artwork had been signed off by the client. Nice attitude.

All I could think of was how insane the client was going to go when they had 100,000 colour brochures land on them with that on the front page. Nice way to drop $20,000!

AAAAAAGH! R66, Austruck, Mary Lo - I am so glad to have some company here who share the pain!

Our proofs go out and come back in several stages, and (depending on who's been working on it in the earlier stages) I'll find all kinds of mistakes even in the final proofs--little, stupid mistakes. But then... my bosses won't let me fix them.

"No, no. It's too late. They've already approved it. The designers can't be bothered to mess with that stuff now."

They can't be bothered to be right? What kind of f*cked-up world is that?

One of my favorite errors (Christ, this is Dork City, but I have to share):

I was proofing an ad for a chiropracter, and the tagline was supposed to be "We Care About Your Health, Not Just Your Pain."

When I got it, it said, "We Care About Your Health, Just Not Your Pain."

I laughed for about a half-hour. Seriously.

[Austruck]

See, Mary and Redd, when I worked for a business stationery company (typesetting letterhead and business cards, brochures, etc.), I'd always bring that sort of stuff to the boss. Small business owned by a married couple. I'd go right over my prepress supervisor's head (the guy was ten years younger than I am) and point out glaring errors to the owner. He just loved me because he'd call the client directly and almost ALWAYS got things changed to be right. One time I saved the client about $10,000 with one stupid, tiny inconsistency in their business cards (we're talking 6-point type here). We were just about to print a gazillion of these things for every employee they had and they all would have been wrong.

And even though it wouldn't have been the owner's fault and the client would have had to pay twice, he always knew that he'd KEEP clients longer with sacrificial service like that.

WAKE UP, EVERYONE!
