Ed,
I find that dictionaries are in constant need of upgrade these days. (As you can see here.)

As for your tuppence, I suddenly feel inspired to launch a line of TuppencewareTM thought storage containers. They would be guaranteed to keep your coinage fresh and your wit sharp. I think it will be a big seller.

Lynn and Debbie,
…Never mind, keep chatting amongst yourselves.

RJ,
Strangely, women just aren’t susceptible to that type of hormone poisoning, they are able to argue on in conditions that would leave a man without rational thought.

Some would say that is because women have no rational thought to lose.

Personally, I think that the monthly cycle of female hormone poisoning leave them immune to other forms of chemical anarchy.

Debbie,
If we’re going to LA, we may need to brush up on our Spanish.

Nothing more to add except I did look up in the dictionary for the meaning of meme and it said “moi-moi”. On realising I had the wrong dictionary I gave up and guessed the meaning and added my tuppence worth of argument tactics to Ploop’s list..

rj-
I usually do not venture beyond The Comma, but I did vote for you on the Diesel/Spidey caption contest.

Lynn,

I was so pissed that little turd head stood you (us) up!

So glad Steve’s “verbal martial arts” assisted you in your negotiation with Dr. T.

You’re free!!!!!!!!!

Now grab the squirrel because it’s time to hunt down Fording. Nobody stands us up and gets away with it. Nobody.

I too was on the verge of looking up what meme means. Thank christ and christmas that i read your post before embarking on such a plan.

the avoidance of research – now there’s a faith i can finally subscribe to.

As pretty much a Ploop hermit who rarely ventures past the door I’m greatly enjoying visiting the other sites that are engaging in this ‘meme’.

The ominous comma is a terrific site and i’m pleased to make it’s acquaintance.

Debbie,
That you for your voluminous contribution, Steve and Dave are always trying that stuff out on me whenever we get together at the Widely Respected Writers Club, but they never win.

Sher,
I am scribbling down notes to give to my wife, if I am going to lose (and I am)I might as well enjoy it.

N.B.
Keep hope alive, my friend, your losses will someday pay off.

Lynn,
Try to stay out of trouble this time.

Bluewater,
I am a trained professional fictionator, when it comes to what I do,you probably shouldn’t try it home.

Meh! Cool! So meme has something related with meh? I don’t know. : )

PS – I’m aware of the situation that you might go too far although I’m sure that you’re aware of it. Just a short reminder. Just try to get not too emotional when it becomes boiled too much. Just in case. ;-)
