My misspellings are either typos or little-used words like "baliwick" (although I still think it's balliwick, but whatever).

A cheer goes up from the crowd and Cellar and benear lead a an anxious Bobo to the sacrificial altar (modelled after the one that serve Fay Wray so well in "King Kong") and Executioner Elliot applies the restraints.
Jade: "Play Pen to Air Force One, do you read me?"

Cellar: "Quit cribbing my lines, Bobo."

Clinton: "Hey this gay stuff is fun! Guess Ah'm bisexual after all!"

First, it's bailiwick. Look it up. Meaning, (second one) a person's specific area of interest, skill or authority.
Second, my misspellings are random. I have spelled ironically correct thousands of times, but no matter, every once in a while, ironicly pops up. Same is true for just about every word I use.
Third, I was more conscientious about spelling in undergrad and grad school because to misspell meant to have to re-type entire papers. I was among the first to get a pc because of the word processing functions, which I considered a godsend.
Fourth, I suspect my spelling problems are based in my early school experiences, where I learned to read and spell phonetically, but then never "took" to the rules of the language. That is, spelling is somewhat hard for me. It could even be genetic, since my clone has EXACTLY the same problems with spelling that I've always had, and I'm conscientious about not exposing her to my problems. She's been a straight A student since she began school, an early reader, with an impressive vocabulary (noted by teachers, not just proud boasting), but her grammar and spelling suck.
I despair for her.

I had planned to make the Billie Jade King/Bobby 109109 Riggs game a Fray-sanctioned event to net thousands for the Whitman Walker clinic. You and Charlie were nominated as early observers. (see posts 30 and beyond in this thread)
Sadly, Jade neither walks the walk, not talks the talk,and instead, keeps backing out by saying, "No, SloboNiner, I want to play for real money." It is the curse of the never-ending double-or-nothing. Eventually, there is no honor in winning and there can be no game, because Jade will say "Only 100,000? Chump change. I won't play."

JadeQual said: Odd, FritoCheese, that's not what Isikoff says in his book. You can read the excerpt in today's NY Times.
FTC said: I heard it from him. why don't you tell us if you think I heard wrong.
JadeHack said: Once again, FritoCheese caught prevaricating:
ISIKOFF'S ACTUAL WORDS:
Because the incident that got my reportorial juices flowing is
when Stephanopolous was trying to persuade me that the whole thing was
concocted, because Clinton wasn't even there that afternoon."

Context is everything.
FritoCheese alleged that GS said something that sent Isikoff on his quest.

No, you shouldn't care. Which is part of the joke.
Do you have irony in your part of the world? Or do you just all off yourselves at the drop of a hat?

Boba,
Haven't you heard Pseudo on the subject of serious Svenskies?
190. BobaFett - April 12, 1999 - 11:25 AM PT
No, but I know that they're a dour people, especially the mirthless Finns. But Swedes, Norgies, Finnskis, all of them are fairly depressive.
And they're all way too fond of Roxette and a-ha.

Boba,
Abba?
Also that group that did the one about another baby and she's going to get you.

Although I kinda dig them.

Boba,
I liked The Sign, and there's a shameful confession for you.

"Any deliberate foolishness she engages in occurs well-past the point of her original error."
As opposed to Bobo, who makes his errors, calls everyone names who points out said errors, then a few hours later thinks that his saying "Oh, I didn't read that part" excuses his excessive vitriol.
And, no, I will not go to the PlayPen, so you can do your usual unprovoked attacks unanswered. You can get in both the first and the last words, and I won't read either.

Uh oh, he didn't take it to the Playpen! Spank this bad boy, Irv!

JJ:
I agree with you. But she's such a nasty bitch (sorry, there are no better words, and she refuses to come to the PlayPen where I could detail my evidence for this proposition) that I just enjoy exposing her as a liar, a bullshitter, a resume-padder, a name-dropper, and a hack.
Yes, I am torn between believing she's simply a dishonest cur and believing she's joking around. Here's what I think: I think when Jade gets called on yet another lie, she pretends it never happened, then e-mails her liberal buddies (although I'd be surprised if she has many) saying: "Look how my INTENTIONAL FABRICATION got all these dumb conservatives into a froth."
But I believe that's just covering her own ass. While she might at some point re-assert untenable positions and blatantly lie in order to make it look like she was "just kidding," I think most of her idiocies are bona fide, at least in the beginning and middle stages.
She pretends she knows about so much and quite clearly has an inflated opinion of her unspectacular intelligence. Therefore, I simply don't buy the theory that she's just "busting chops." Her own ego screams against letting her look like a fool. Any deliberate foolishness she engages in occurs well-past the point of her original error.

Well, I'd say spank him, but it'd be too good for him.
Incidentally, I agree with Boba here:
"Any deliberate foolishness she engages in occurs well-past the point of her original error."
I have seen Jade make idiotic mistakes and *then* start being deliberately silly, but a few times her misstatements were obvious. You can often tell the difference. If she can't obscure them or define them down, she'll drop the subject after a post or two.

Jade's just too cool for you guys.
Keep up the good work, Jade. With you goading him on to greater and greater rhetorical rages, benear and I will have Bobo spread-eagled and begging for it 24/7.

In US Politics 10779 Trialshark says:
“Is it fair to conclude you endorse those positions and practices?”
Nope. I have excoriated excesses of some of the conservatives here on many occasions.
Please point me to a dozen examples where a member of the liberal bastion has been chastised by another member. Or don't, I really don't care. I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy.

We Svenskies are wonderfully humorous. Ingmar Bergman type humurous. His films are hilarious don't you think? My Message #187 is a case in point but I now understand that I have to step up the vulgarity count quite a few notches in order for you to understand. But I don't know if I care to. In that case, sorry for not being able to match you on your level.

What on earth are you talking about FTC? The Fray "Conservatives" are morally superior to the Fray "Liberals" because you claim to be able cite instances where the former "disagree" whereas the latter are supposedly in lock-step? Awfully thin gruel.

Actually, Pelle has a great sense of humour. I still laugh when I remember him telling Resonance about the Great Badger of the North.
