Dear lounge, could you do me a favour?
Please remind me to get bread on the way home. That is in about 2 hrs 15 minutes. That is all.

Thank you! :)

1. Not until you get rid of that extraneous "u"
People who insert a suspicious "u" into favor, color, or humor are not to be trusted.


But don't forget to buy bread anyway! :hi:

4. I support the "u"
Why do you hate "u" users? x(

7. See, english spelling has redundancy built in
That u is there to take over in case the o ever fails. :D

9. Why are you against the O?
Are you implying that the mighty fourth vowel isn't up to the task?

Of course, now that I think of it, that subject-line might be a little unclear...

23. It gives more exposure to one option, hence giving it an unfair advantage.
So I'm against it.

35. Hey, now!!!
I'm American and I do that. I adds a certain amount of extra class to those words. I love it. Don't knock the "u." *insert fist shaking smiley I don't have here* :evilgrin:

37. The phrase "insert fist" always makes me nervous for some reason
And I think the line between "adds class" and "pretentious affectation" is dangerously thin! You risk distinguishing yourself as a poser unless you're very careful with your U use.

You've been warned!

12. Billy!
Just so happens that I have some bread so after work you should drive to London, hop on a plane and fly to NY. I'll meet you there and give you my perfectly soft, healthy, and delish goodness. Alrighty?

:evilgrin:

14. That is an excellent idea
And when I read "perfectly soft, healthy and delish goodness" I did not think of anything other than bread. That's right. :)

bread-related thoughts.

19. Looks like you'll have to buy that bread in under an hour.
Don't forget... BTW, do you still have your computer on?

I assume the extra bread is for stuffing, but if not, enjoy it any way you wish.

Happy holidays, buddy.

27. If you hurried up and started to proof the yeast now
you'd have your own bread in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

28. No, I refuse.
For several reasons.

First, it's too late. If you really wanted me to remind you, you would have called me and asked, instead of just posting your request on a silly message board, hoping I would see it in time. And don't bother me with the excuse that you don't have my phone number. That's not MY problem.

Second, look at what you've turned the lounge into. It's like the only thing that matters around here is you getting your freakin' bread. Instead of more important stuff like..... whatever.

33. billyskank,




If indeed despite these many reminders you did forget to stop for bread on the way home, then it is regrettably my duty to advise you that you will now have to make a separate "bread" trip. So sorry, luv.
