When I first started reading his post, I thought, I don't remember this guy spelling this bad. He must be drunk or trying to be a speed typist or both. Then reading all the following comments I got some of the best laughter of the day. Never know what your going to see around here.

from the looks of it I'd say he hes either bad aim or big fingers, maybe a combination of the both. He always misspelled a word with the letter next to what he was typing. I find mysrlf doing the same thing (but i usually worrect myself. and maybe he had a few too many I dont know if it was corvette related except for telling us to drive our safely...

I'm dyslectic, and I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly. I have some problems with spelling and grammar (for real), so I copy everything I write, and make it into a word document, to check for misspelling and grammar. Sometimes I start to write a word with the 2nd or 3rd letter before the 1st or 2nd letters. It's a hard thing to deal with because it makes reading and writing difficult.
But just to make things clear, this was a funny and it seemed to work.

Nice Charger you had there, but trying to figure out what was being said was certainly a challenge.

If you do own a Corvette, sell it immediately. Use the money to get your G.E.D. And oh yes, throw that damn crack pipe away.

Thanks man,
When I did this crazy kind of topic the last time, I forgot about it. I went back to find it, and there were 3 pages of dialog regarding the thing. I can't remember what it was about, but there was a comment from somebody about why I didn't respond. I think it was only about 1 or 2 sentences long, but very bizarre.
I could have put this in off topic, but it would have just blended in with all of the other nonsence down there.

Glad it made for some fun

Purdy funy stuuf!

It is really interesting to read the responses in threads like this. You get guys who respond with really great humor and others who respond as though they have been waiting for someone to mess up so they can pounce on them and inflict as much humiliation as possible. I find myself getting a little wound up every now and then, while responding to some of the "jerks" (and I use that word with all due respect) among us, and find myself grateful later on that I have taken the time to rethink my initial response and not embarrass myself by overreacting or missing the embedded humor.

Any of us are capable of posts that are beneath us at times...like at the end of a frustrating day or when someone has pushed our buttons, but what I love almost as much as the great information that is available on this forum is the incredible wit and humor in many of the posts that I read which very often sends me into convulsive laughter!

Now...as to the rest of you #$@#*%$ out there, why don't you just...excuse me...I mustn't digress.


Thanks StevieB... this was fun! U maid mi daay!


BTW...looking at the picture above of your lovely bride reminds me of a story I read about a women who phoned her daughters teacher in an irate mood one afternoon after school. She told the teacher that she was really angry when her daughter came home from school that day and said that her teacher had told her she was illiterate. The mother proceeded to tell the teacher that her daughter was not illiterate because she was married the day before her daughter was born!

For anyone who really has a spelling problem other than pretending to get their jollies off, here's a solution for your spelling problem. http://www.iespell.com/ Once installed you may run spell check in any window of text to correct any spell problem.
"Either we are part of the solution are part of the problem".So do what you got to do....oh yes "have to do"
