"Oh *that's* obscure, B!"


Recommended Posts

Mmmmmm... so many *emphatics*, so little time. Lets not forget the humble underline, which back in the day of typewriters was an accepted norm, because you could push the carriage back and add underlining without requiring additional keys. The asterisks found use primarily for footnoting.

*So there*

So there

So there

So there

SO THERE

 

*SO THERE*

 

PS The reference to a typewriter is not lost on me as obscure.:)

At least it's not so dazzling as Buffy's eschew obfusciation. :)

 

When Buffy *eschews*, I find it best to simply say gesundheit, and offer her a tissue. ;) Admittedly not dazzling, but it helps prevent the spread of dis-ease. :D

I've been curious for a while Buffy, why do you put the 'H' in italics in your sig?

Oh my! Look at the logo at the top of the page!!!!

 

Super Captain Obvious Man, :phones:

You often surround *words* thusly. What is your methodology for the use of *word,* and how is that different from "word"?
It snot. Its just like how a like to put the proper emPHAsis on the right sylLABle...

 

Emphatically,

I prefer italics for sarcasm, you know, a little extra something to push the intent across.
For sarcasm that's explicit, I usually use :phones: or if its really raw, I use :evil:

 

Most of the time though, I don't indicate when I'm being sarcastic because I don't want to tip off deservedly clueless targets... :evil:

I find that it still goes over people's heads, though.
I feel your pain. :phones:

 

Alms for the differently clued,

So you'll understand when I "show you the back of my Selectric Ball".... :phones:

 

Self-correcting!

And beware because as many of you know, I like to chew up and spit out purveyors of muddled logic...

 

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind, :phones:

But don't be surprised if I start singing Canned Heat songs (okay I'll explain that one: copy and paste "gesundheit" into http://www.thesaurus.com...)

Un-, anti-, ir- and in- too! :evil:

 

Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out, :phones:
