Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today

ah, hah quote monday!

"You flatter me very much" - D.A. after being called brother Gibson (sorry if I misspelled ot got the whole thing wrong, but i am terrible with names) smooth, very smooth D.A.

more to come when I remember, if you want to see pictures of the polar bear race email me (I dont want to post a link to all of my digital pictures)

"I see your half helping of Wasabi, Mr. D'elia, and I raise you another half."
-Javann before eating entire helping of wasabi, then crying like little girl

jerm, it is silly that when you put both your email address and your url that you cant get to either my email is toopriddy (at) gmail (dot) com sorry for the obfuscation, but I hate email harvesters

"kill him while you are still in your invinisible state!" - what Mallory kept yelling at me when I was playing Mario bros. (quite badly I might add)

"i want my mommy!"

- BUFF, after cookeville slaughters little alabama girly football team...

"this remote control is...defectivy!"

- Autumn, creating new words in an effort to defend her poor nintendo skills.

(and at the same time failing to utilize the time she had while invincible)

"could you spot me a stamp...or is it against the rules?"

- me, to our office mailman today.

"you think i carry stamps in my pocket or something?"

- the office mailman, in a brashly spoken response.

"....no?."

- me, after several seconds of painful silence, and unbroken eye contact.

on a side non-quote note:

watching Autumn play mario is like poking yourself in the eye with a dull spoon, painful and boring....

sorry autumn but im going to have to side with mallory on this one, you really do have to fully utilize your invincibility while you still have it.

Casey goes after the invincibility star like a raccoon to a seductivly shiny object...he just can't NOT try and get it, even it if means his doom at the hands of a fire pit.

D.A.

Oh, and yeah, Autumn does stink at Marry-o Brothers.

The reference made was not to an invincibility "star" but to the the narrow window of time that one has after being injured as "big mario" and minimized into "little mario" -

durring this period of post-minimization, one has the powers of invincibility, and if this time is propperly utilized, can escape one or two potential dangers, by pressing the "b" button and quickly running through them.

(provided that the danger is not falling into a hole.)

I had a comment made like that to me from a sister in my congregation-

"Benjamin, you sound just like a white man...I thought you was a bill collector!"

Just for the record, I'm black...

Ok people, it's quote day, not "let's all talk about how bad Autumn is at playing mario" day. So unless you have a quote about my poor-mario skills, you just keep your comments until that day!

I just wanted to thank everybody for their incredibly poor grammar skills. I am the eCare Quality Management Agent for one of the largest banks in the country. Basically, I sit and read as many of the 90,000+ email responses the bank sends to it's clients each month as is humanly possible. I evaluate each email and score them on things such as correct information, proper procedure and grammar. I have begun to use misconstruedthoughts.com as a reference for how to not write. Yes, misconstruedthoughts.com has proven very helpful to us. Our reps can now see what poor spelling looks like (see Kevin's Expert Tuesday), can discern improper punctuation (see Kevin's Expert Tuesday) and have learned the value of proper syntax and sentence structure (see Kevin's Expert Tuesday). Of course, Kevin's frightening dalliance into authoring is not the only unique specimen available. Indeed, you should all be commended for the atrocious writing skills presented on this website! Speaking for the bank as a whole, we thank you all!

Grammer (and spelling) is completely over-rated, it is judgemental and it places people into little conforming boxes and is probably some evil person's way of making us all into robots. Fight the power, let the ain'ts and the gonnas, and the poor sentence structure, and the questionable spelling fly...

You obviously have not seen Kevin's Expert Tuesday. That monument of poor grammar is enough to scare most people into writing better.

Jeremy!!!
You beat me in trivia yesterday!
How could you! I disown you!
That's bad brother-in-law etiquette you know...

beep.......

Health Advisory...

In concern of the recent natural disasters that have occured around the world, why not consider setting aside some extra money this month to contribute to the worldwide work to help those brothers and sisters who have been affected by these tragedies. If everyone tries to do this, then the society will have more means at their disposal to help those who need it most.

Sky The Entertainer is back! Any who. Ya'll get off Autumn! She'll cut yall!! She told me herself!

To mallory:

Wow, that mailman was a jerk. At our post office last month, a post clerk I have dealt with many times who seemed to be nice got annoyed when I addressed my priority envelope at the counter in front of him. Have done this on countless occasions and he kept saying "Uh, if you'd like you can get back in line and finish addressing it there..." To which I reply "Uh, thanks but no thanks. I'll keep it in mind for next time though." Er, yeah. Postal employees. But i don't wanna rag too much since one of our brothers is a mailman. :p

To the football players from Cookeville who talk a lot of trash. We all know what happens to trash-talkers. Take for example, the Denver Broncos who recently referred to the Colts’ receivers as punks. Result: a Denver loss. Oklahoma defensive lineman says USC is not impressive. Result: an Oklahoma loss. Trash talking does nothing. Lets all just keep our mouths shut and play ball. May the better team win. But more importantly, let’s try to have fun and not get too competitive. And let’s wait until September to play. In my current state of incapacity I really haven’t the ability to play football and I really enjoy playing against trash talkers.

That's right Tre! I don't like trash talkers either! I got your back! Wait a minute! Your a trash talker yourself! U better watch your back! I kick you in your leg!

thanks sky, I knew you had my back!

"I'll cut you" - guess who...

Okay first of all is that really what you do for the bank? You didn't take all those classes for that did you?

Second, I already told Kevin that he is not to teach MacKenzie anything about school. Even though the other day I came to a blank on the word booger and he had actually corrected me on it.

Third, they are only trash talking to get a football game out of Greeneville (which by the way Greeneville beat them last year). Also you guys are supposed to come to Greeneville becuase they came there last year. I also forgot to tell you Mark had surgery on his arm, so it might be a while before he will play.

That's true, we're only trash talking because we're wanting to play Greeneville. We certainly don't mean to be trash talking to people we don't know - if that's the way it's taken, I apologize. And you need to know mongo in order to understand him. Believe me, it's all in fun, not serious trash talk. We save that for G-ville because we like them.
And G-ville comes to C-ville this year - they said since we'd gone twice in a row, they would return the favor. The date has been tentatively set for late Feb...
