The Shoutbox - Movie Forums

Also, I found it humorous that folks are saying words don't matter... in a shoutbox column that is using mostly words to communicate that idea. Wouldn't even be having this conversation without those pesky words.

Heck, one company lost a lot of money over a missing comma a year or so ago!

Scrambled eggs and coffee with HWC = the perfect breakfast. As long as the eggs aren't overcooked.

Also, I think eggs are one of the most filling things you can eat. I love em, especially hard boiled.

Quinoa, asparagus, peanuts and less than a cup of granola/kashi. Eury-day.

The quinoa seems to be hearty enough that it hasn't grown old... yet.

But man, we could ride this merry go round all day long.

I mean, you already know college scrambled my eggs, and we all know how hard it is to unscramble eggs.

You can't use words to say words don't matter. It's a self-defeating argument.

By that logic, you also can't use words to say words do matter, but I think in that context it would maybe be a self-preserving argument?
