AAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!! Fuck the ancient Egyptians!!!

Did none of those motherfuckers ever realize the benefits of a period?! Or smaller paragraphs?!

I'm reading a translation of the Rosetta Stone's text for a class paper, and there's two giant run-on sentences that take up a fucking page and 2/3rds!!! My brain's trying to claw its way out of my skull to avoid having to process those chunks of text.

And whoever compiled the document into PDF form was too stupid to break them up!

1. they didn't write down most of their vowels, either, did they?

I'd think that'd be a problem, too.

[BreweryYardRat]

3. It's an English translation.

[nickinSTL]

4. ah, well, that'd make it easier...

I'd think :D

[BreweryYardRat]

6. Not when the idiot translating it didn't break up the run-on sentences.

If you want to PM me an e-mail address, I'll send you a copy so you can understand the full horror.

2. To be fair, they also invented beer.

5. Bugger that. Beer sucks. Give me rum any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

How was spring break with flvegan? I tried to get hold of him while you were here so the three of us could go hang out on Easter weekend, have a few drinks, but life threw me a curveball.

7. We had a great time.

That Saturday we went to Trang's and had dinner, which was really, really good.

I don't think you'd have had much luck PMing him that weekend anyhow, he pissed off the PTB and was on mod time out for a week.

Next time I'm down there (I'm aiming for this winter) we'll plan better and go grab some drinks.

8. Winter...

That might work. We get most of December off.

[LeftyMom]

9. Yeah, I have to plan around school.

Just have to get a better job between now and then (I need to do that anyhow) because there's no way the toy store will give me time off in November or December for anything short of life-saving surgery, and they'd bitch and moan about that.
