Send out the welcome wagon...
Whee, new member here and uhh.. I'm loving it so far, yeah. =)
I've been browsing through some of these posts and I must say you are an odd bunch. Though I'm sure that only leads to the... interesting... threads I've read. I'm not naming any names.. do I even have to?

Well at least I know there's something to do when insomnia hits.

Jumping on the wagon now... :wavey:

did you guys see Ice Age? I took my baby brother to see it a few weeks ago. There's a line where Sid says: "we're the weirdest herd I've ever seen" or something like that.

How about this? from Geek to Greek

My all time favorite like that is

"The variety of people here resembles the bar scene in Star Wars"

Hey, with all these familiar faces, I couldn't not post something.

Erm, um. So, I guess that's it.

(regains composure)

Well, my work here is done! (swooosh)

Point? There is no point. That's the point of it all!

as an instructor of typography I must mention that the correct method of employing ellipses in a sentence is to also insert one space between each dot . . .

i use them all the time . . .

although sometimes like this ...

Welcome Jellay, and veering briefly off topic to other matters...

Just my 2 cents, whiskerz

, but... :weyes:

Putting spaces between the ellipses as suggested may be fine for book publishing, but IMHO, it makes little sense in web publishing. Good chance that the dots will end up on different lines with a space after the word, or between the dots. Better to attach them without spaces to end of the word as Jellay has done. That way they'll stay together and won't get separated by some quirk in browser formatting or system configuration. Looks kind of silly to get this .
. . kind of thing, if you know what I mean.

Back on topic...

Hope you find some good company here, Jellay.
