Thinking out louder than some shameless self promotion

Olah! Pleasing times?...I think so!

thinking out louder than an internal prayer for extra salt on one's chips

Today I had a heated discussion with someone about ticky-tak's non-appeal to Christian groups. This person claimed that we would just 'not be what their sector was looking for'. I have evidence to suggest otherwise (see above).

If there is one thing Ticky-Tak will not stand for it is Confetti-ism.  

No Confetti...what a pile of donkey shit. What is next? Segregated bathroom facilities: Confetti wee-wee's in one toilet room...and humans go in another? Or perhaps we'll start up an international Confetti campaign...a 'war on confetti' if you will, whereby all bits of Confetti seeking to fly overseas must undergo strict questioning, followed by a series of mild molestations from some overly excited sniffer dogs?

Ticky-Tak is not into this kind of zeno-confetti-phobic signage or mindset.  We like Confetti.  And you should too.

I am currently considering something:  

If an exclamation mark is an upside down i, is a question mark (eg. ?)  an upside down, captain-hook-styled hook, hovering over a very miniature dwarf planet?

If this is indeed the case, does that mean we have to introduce galaxy-based/piratey laws into our grammar world? Though no precedent was set with the exclamation mark, it is felt that the question mark is quite a different kettle of fish. My good friend Terry informed me that the upside down i, or !, could never have posed the question of galaxy-based/pirate relations, as from the very onset the symbol was quite obviously identified as a small twig hovering over a beetles nostril (or a beetles nostril hovering over a twiglet if viewed the other way).

If galaxy based/piratey laws were introduced into our grammatical world, a great many things would  be affected.  In particular, all sentences that ended in a question mark would obviously have to begin with a definitive 'aghhhhrrr', whilst all words within the questiony montage would have to end in 'alaxy'.

For example, the statement: 

"How does you sensible dress shirt fit, sir?" would become: 

"Aghrrrrrrrr howalaxy doesalaxy youralaxy dressalaxy shirtalaxy fitalaxy, siralaxy?"

The exact date when such laws would be implemented into the grammatical/english speaking world remain hush-hush.  Most likely, they would coincide with the actual occurrence of 'dwarf planet/hook = ? theory' being proven....but lets face it, that could be any day now!

So start practicing your galaxy/piratey based talky stylings a.s.a.p. Start a facebook page to encourage others to do the same, or host a night where you swap favorite ways to say "aghhhrrr"! If you're feeling particularly advantageous start re-writing all the questions in your favorite novels to adhere to new galaxy policy.  Make sure you keep the changes documented in a scrap book to show friends when they come over (they also make a rad gift idea).
